TUTORIAL: How to create a badass background using a random photo with PicsArt.
So you've landed on Steemit world where original content is a must and that includes your photos so now you gotta bring your A game.
That's Ok! YOU GOT THIS!
I confess, I've used this trick a few times since I've been here to customise quotes, for my milestones and it's easy as. Trust me!
WHAT YOU NEED.
PicsArt (download from App store)
A random photo
Internet connection (PicsArt doesn't work without internet connection.)
Step 01. Open PicsArt press the + and select Edit
Step 02. Select a random photo from your gallery. I picked a photo of our block of land.
Step 03. Click Magic and scroll across until you find Rainbow. Click that. Then click ✅ to save.
Step 04. Click Effects. Select Artistic on the left menu, Select Polygon on the bottom menu, then click ✅ to save.
Step 05. Click Effects. Select Distort on the left menu, Select Mirror on the bottom menu, Click Mirror again to load customise menu, play around with that until you're happy then click ✅ to save.
Step 06. Click top right arrow
-9
Step 07. Click Save to Private and it should be in your gallery's PicsArt folder.
Tadaa!!
You'll notice how many different options you have along the way. I just went through one of my favorite sequences.
Explore your options! You don't have to go with Rainbow.
This is the same photo with
(Magic) Galaxy ✅ (Effects) Oil Painting ✅ (Effects) Polygon ✅ (Effects) Mirror ✅
Doesn't it look like an alien? :D How cool right?!

@yehey
aww thanks sis <3 big love to you
That reminds me. I'll give your logo a try now. Hubby is working late :)
Nice! Will download the app now. Thanks @bearone. :)
You're welcome @beng05 let me know how you go!
That is a really good tool to create some original backgrounds. I broke my smartphone a few months ago, gotta get a new one soon and then get PicsArt ;).
I really like the forest after the first effect, looks trippy as hell :D
It's awesome! It's much quicker to work with for basic editing (hell, even intermediate). What phone were you thinking of getting?
Hahah right?! There's so many different effects and options. You'll love it!
some rather cheap LG between 80€-200€. I once had a really nice robust HTC, but that was stolen ;.; . Only thing I definitely know is that I won't get an iPhone, there is PicsArt for android, right?
I just checked the picsart website and I think they have it for apple too.
That's good! I hate being restricted. Buy whichever phone you like :)
OHHH!! and it said you can download for windows too!
sweet! Thanks for looking that up for me, realized to late the info is just one google search away ^^*
haha its ok. I didnt know either until I looked. Im tempted to download it for my pc :D
