7 apps that are no worse than Prisma that turn photos into masterpieces

Thousands and thousands of photos passed through Prisma flooded social networks, quickly got bored and even became bad manners. But there are still a lot of applications that can make masterpieces from ordinary pictures, and without the help of neural networks. We have selected the most interesting for you.

Enlight

Enlight is a powerful all-in-one photo editor. In addition to a large set of tools for artistic image processing, it is interesting primarily because it allows you to combine several photos with different mixing parameters into one. As for any stylizations "like pictures", Enlight also has them, although with due diligence, you can manually create much more interesting effects.

Fragment

And this application turns your pictures into masterpieces of art, without changing them, but slightly complementing them. Fragment is able to organically superimpose various abstract shapes and forms on top of the photo, making unusual frames with futuristic motives out of them. There are basic editing capabilities that get rid of the preliminary preparation of photos in other applications. Fragment also serves as a source of inspiration: in the corresponding section, you can find cool examples of processing from other users.

Trigraphy

Trigraphy is somewhat similar to Fragment, only unusual shapes in it are used as brush strokes, with the help of which your photos are redrawn, as it were. Each of the filters imposes a certain texture on top of the image, which changes the frame almost beyond recognition. At the same time, any filter can be fine-tuned to achieve a particular result, which opens up great opportunities for creativity.

D3LTA

Another application, all transformations in which also occur using abstract shapes and various effects based on them. It is much easier to use and is suitable for those who do not like to bother. In D3LTA, you just need to select one of the ready-made presets and get the result right away. As a bonus, there is an option to order a T-shirt with a print of your own authorship.

Ultrapop

Ultrapop represents the direction of pop art in our selection. The application contains several thematic collections of juicy filters, sometimes even with psychedelic motives. The creators do not limit us in the choice and allow you to combine filters with each other to get even crazier color combinations that even Andy Warhol himself would envy.

BLACK

Unlike the previous one, this application focuses not on the color, but on the content of the photo. BLACK emulates the styles of popular black and white films, allowing you to throw away all the tinsel and focus the viewer's attention on the subject of the photo. The application is very minimalistic, from the settings we can only adjust the intensity of effects, contrast and add vignettes.

Defqt

Defqt as a whole leaves the frame unchanged, but makes it possible to look at it through the prism of complex distortions. It turns out a kaleidoscope of squares, triangles, circles and other geometric shapes, into which you can look without stopping. Reflections, crooked mirrors, noises - if you tinker and choose the appropriate effect, then the resulting photo can be printed and hung on the wall in a frame.
