1. The World of
Prisma

2. While the world is going crazy about Pokemon Go, there’s
another application that is taking the web by storm. Prisma is a
new photo application that transforms your regular picture into
Picasso paintings. Sounds great, no?

3. • It is a photo effect application whose workflow mimics that of
popular photo sharing apps like Facebook and Instagram. At its
base, there is a viewfinder that takes square images to which
you can apply around 35 filters, many of which are modelled
in the style of famous painters like Picasso and Van Gogh.
• The app is viral since summer 2016, with over a million daily
users in its opening month

4. What is so special about this app?
• Prisma is absolutely not the ever first app that produces
beautiful, fanciful pictures using filters, but the statistics
around the web show that it does the best. The secret success
recipe is the Artificial Intelligence that processes each photo in
a different manner, contingent to the filter. The app allegedly
learns and familiarizes the implementation of these filters
over time, using the information it gets from each user’s
photos.

5. The Ranking?
• As per reports, the app has gained immense popularity within
a very short span of time. It is ranked 3rd among all the photo
and video apps in the US. The app puts an imprint on the
photos, which can be turned off from the settings menu.
• The app does not have an internal sharing feed like Instagram,
so you can only edit your favorite pictures and save it to your
gallery. Users can then share the edited pictures on the
various photo sharing apps like Instagram and Facebook.
• This app is a unique concept that gives out pictures that are a
treat for an eye.

6. How does it work?
Take or select a photo
• Download and open the Prisma app. Since there is no social or
engagement element, the app does not ask its users to create
an account.
• The main screen is fragmented into two, the top half shows
the camera view, and the bottom half shows the capture
button, camera rotation button, settings button, and the
thumbnail of your camera roll. You can either take a fresh
photo or choose one from the existing ones.

7. Edit the photo
• Applying filters couldn't be easier than this. All you
have to do is scroll through the filters, until one
charms your eye. Select it, and the app will work its
magic on your photo. This may take a couple of
seconds to process, but it’s worth the work being
carried out on your photo.
• If you think the effect is too strong, it can be easily
toned down: just swipe left to reduce the strength
until you are pleased with the look.

8. Share the photo:
• Once you've settled on a
style, you can then share it
on Instagram or Facebook
(the dedicated options), save
to your camera roll (the
default is to save an alternate
version and not over the
original), or share it
elsewhere.

9. Things to dwell upon
• The application has a couple of settings, but the only one you
may want to change is the option to include a watermark to
your photo. It has a default setting to have a Prisma logo on
the right bottom which you might not want on your shots, so
you can disable that.
Creative Tip
• Try using images with strong colors and shapes. To get best
results, avoid images that are too chaotic. Have fun!
