Yesterday I made a few quick shots of a beautiful orchid with the iPhone. I could have worked the composition a little more as I don't like the bottom of the Orchid cut off, but the idea was to grab something to work with in an app called PhotoFactory. I like this app for its creative possibilities. Here is a link for a Demo:

Smudging has been a technique available in PhotoShop and used by a very well known photographer in Baltimore:
Robert McClintock
I have liked the artistic results one can achieve while doing some smudge work! It is a little hard to smudge on a small iPhone screen but is lots of fun.
Here is the progression of the processing I used to create the opening image:
 |
| Original Capture |
|
 |
| First smudged version in PhotoForge |
|
 |
| Colorized in PhotoFactory and Stretched a little |
|
 |
| Stretched more and reversed in PhotoFactory: Shadow under image and corner vignettes in PhotoFactory |
|
Because there were not a lot of strokes in the lower left corner of the image, when it was stretched it became a little soft, so I might go back into the stretched version and try smuding back in some texture strokes...lots of fun this iPhone stuff! Give it a try!

| Final Image Frame added in the app Crop'n'Frame |
