Last month I introduced an app called FX Photo Studio for Macs and iPhones. Since then MacPhunn has added masking which allows you to add or erase effect filters. Here’s an example using the Moon photo I showed you last spring.
Moon with 3-D Effect and no masking.
While this is neat. I really want to see the moon details better. I selected to add instead the effect in the space surrounding our planet’s satellite. It works like brushes in a photo editing program like Aperture 3 or PhotoShop. You can alter the brush manually for size, softness and opacity or use one of the presets. It was easy to paint the effect in with a large brush and then use smaller ones to trim around the moon’s edges. I had to switch from paint to erase to do the final cleanup.
Here is the result.
The moon unmasked from the 3-D Effect.
Looks like something out of Star Trek, doesn’t it?

Kind of neat. Course now it’s not fully round anymore at the bottom left, so it’s gonna wobble. lol

A good reason for the Enterprise to show up and figure out how to fix it. 🙂 That is the fault of my skill level. I tried to round it out and kept making it worse so I stopped at this one.

I know you do, Anna. You would love this app for how quickly you can see what each filter does.
