I’ve been enjoying getting out on my spring hikes the last couple of weeks, and it’s given me a whole new supply of images to edit. So much fun! I thought for Paint Party Friday this week I would share the super simple editing technique I used to create this bright and cheery piece.
I started with this image, captured with the ProCamera app:
Next I processed it in a new app I’ve been playing with, Tangled FX. It has all sorts of different ways to process your images and lots of tuning controls.
Finally, I ran it through the Glaze app. As always, I played with the different options in Glaze to see which one would work the best. I liked the “outline” effect the combination of the two apps created, the bright colors and the very loose brushstroke feel at this point – so I called it done!
See? Super easy. Try it out!

Wowzer! This is beautiful.
