Pixlr First Look!!

I was just trying this app on my cell phone and found it to be really comprehensive, easy to use and fun!! It will do all the basics, like cropping, resizing, rotating etc., and then has loads of fun stuff like filters, effects, overlays, collage, text and more… I really like it so far and is one of the better ones out there for real editing on the go.

Here is a photo edited in Pixlr…

Natural History Revisited

Hi all,

I was just going through some photos of London and thought this one could do with a little rework using a Lightroom filter I found from Presetpro. I applied the filter then tweaked it a little to bring out some highlights in the colors. I think it gives more pop to the photo…

Sunny with Showers!!

I just posted this work on a Sunflower to Fineart America and thought you might like to take a look. It was shot during late afternoon as the sun was coming through the window. I used a background layer work and placed a wet layer image over the front to give the water drop effect from Smart Photo. Hope you like it!

Bridge to Darkness…

Just playing around with some older pics and turned this late summer photo into an autumn “Bridge to Darkness”, slightly surreal look picture. I think it leads you into a foreboding scene where only you imagination can hint at what you might find!!!

Aha – Best Infotainment App!!

 

I have been testing this app on my phone and through the new on screen Infotainment app in the new Mazda 6, 2016 Touring Edition. It works great and integrates well with the on board system. I can select my favorite stations from music, talk, news and create a list of favorites to access at anytime. Go to the online page for Aha at Aharadio.com and choose from thousands of internet stations, genres and even talking books!! If you want some cool on board infotainment on you Mazda 6 Infotainment System then you should seriously consider this app. For me this is way better than Pandora as I have such a great selection of radio stations to choose from. What’s also cool about this app is it uses your location to serve up information on what’s around you, like restaurants, parks, hotels and gas stations. Not new but if you don’t have full nav installed this is definitely a plus!!

THIS IS WHAT INFOTAINMENT SHOULD BE

Thanks for taking a look and check out the Aha app
