Your snapshots are obviously works of art all on their own — but do you ever want to give them a little boost? Prisma takes the concept of a filter and amps it up another level, transforming your photos according to different art styles. Now you can convert a photograph into a beautiful line-art drawing, or draw on the concepts of modern art with something like the “Mondrian” (as in Piet) or “Roy” (as in Lichtenstein) filter. Users can apply these filters as heavily or as lightly as they want.
The app can take a bit of time to process the filters, but that makes sense given that it’s essentially redrawing your photos. The company releases new art styles regularly, so even if you aren’t that keen on what they have on tap, you may get something you really like down the line. Sure, adding these filters don’t make your photos true to life, necessarily, but you may find one that lets you show off your photos with something that says more about your personality than a standard photo can.
