If you are a casual DSLR \u00a0or point and shoot photographer, you\u2019ve probably never used Photoshop actions and presets to edit your photographs and create a particular look. And you\u2019ve almost certainly never applied a texture to one of your images.<\/p>\n

\"Urban
I was introduced to adding textures to images in an online fine art nature photography class. I was delighted to find out you could do this on your iPhone. Here I used one of the textures from the DistressedFX app.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the great things about mobile photography is that you can buy apps that can give your photographs a different look and feel with a few button presses and slider adjustments. These apps pretty much do what many Photoshop presets and actions do. At a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n

A different version of the photograph. This time I used the Diana analog filter from Camera+.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I personally use Camera+ to take my photos and do some minor edits, such as adjusting brightness and contrast. I also like some of the analog filters that app provides, such as the Diana and XPRO C-41 or their retro Ansel filter for creating contrasty back and white images. I would love to try VSCO and Snapseed, but I can\u2019t use these apps on my good old iPhone 4.<\/p>\n

\"Urban
In this version, I used the XPRO C-41 filter from Camera+. I’ve always loved the cross processed film look and this is one of my favourite filters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One app I recently fell is love with is DistressedFX. It allows you to combine your photos with a number of textures to add mood to your images. The app also gives you many options to precisely adjust the blending of the textures and photographs.<\/p>\n

\"Urban
I rarely use this filter (Chrome from Camera+), but I liked the look it gave the image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another app for adding textures and other effects to your images is Mextures. It allows you to layer many textures and effects in one go and gives you a lot of control. But beware, these apps can be really addictive!<\/p>\n

The retro Ansel filter from Camera+ was applied to the image to create this contrasty black and white version.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
