Welcome back to “app” happy wednesday #25 and all things phone photography! This party used to run every week, but with summer and company keeping me so busy I had to put it on the back burner for a bit (my apologies). I changed the schedule to the first Wednesday of each month instead.
This could also change … would anyone like to have it on a weekly basis once again? Just let me know what you think.
If you are new to the party, this is a link-up to share your photos edited with “apps” of any kind! Let me stress there are no rules!! Just join the fun and share any kind of artsy creation.
Today I went back to AfterLight, an oldie, but a goldie. I ventured into the filters and discovered “Fusion” which is basically an action.
This is the original …

I used AfterLight to apply three filters to the image.
As I was working I recorded my steps and saved them to what is called a “fusion”. The great thing about recording in AfterLight is that until you press the little checkmark the step is not recorded. That makes it possible to try a lot of different effects but record only the ones you like.
My “fusion” consisted of kus, thorn, and bloom:
kus
thorn
bloom
Here’s the final version. I will admit it is not a masterpiece! But the point is you can record steps, save as a “fusion”, and run it on any photo. Cool!
Here are a couple of photos I ran the kus, thorn, and bloom “fusion” on …
So that’s it for my long-winded lesson today!
Let’s see what you’ve been up to!
Use any “app” you like and perhaps explain how you used it.
- Did you use just one? Did you combine apps?
- Simply create some art. Post it on your blog or Flickr or wherever you are uploading your work, and then come back here and link it up! You can now use Instagram to link your images! Way cool! Check the article here. I also added some tips on this post here.
- Visit a few friends to see what they are up to and perhaps learn some fabulous new tips and techniques.
- Spread the word about the link-up, the more the merrier!
- Each party will start at 5:00 am on the first Wednesday of the month.

What a fun app! I’m going to have to try it, your photos are lovely. And I do need to expand my repertoire. I tend to stick to the apps I ‘know’. It’s good to be back!
i just love your succulents. :)
(your blog loaded but it was painfully slow again for me. but at least i got in!)
Fantastic App Barb! Haven’t had much time to check out your site for a bit. I’ve really missed the great resources and teaching that you give us through your site. Hope your doing well.
Found your blog, thanks to Dottie Rhinehart. Love your images and that app! Off to download it now!
You know me, I’ll be doing iPhone apps at least once a week anyway. I don’t have Afterlight but I love being able to save formulas. So I’ll be checking this out.
I’m so happy to see App Happy Wednesday – I would love it to be weekly again. It’s my favorite prompt! It seems with my busy schedule that iphoneography is all I have time with these days. Your photos are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, Barb, and for this wonderful prompt you offer. :)
Beautiful images! If my phone took pictures, I’d join right in! Someday, I’ll breakdown and buy one that does!
Love your images!
After seeing your images I was inspired to use that app too. I’d forgotten how many filters the Afterlight app has – I didn’t know about that fusion option – great tip!
These are lovely photos. I mean to post my latest blog post here to “link up” Looks like it is closed. I will hopefully remember to next month. :)
