Droste Effect - An App that would deserve more attention

So welcome everyone to the first post of this blog.

We will try here to talk about the best iOs photo apps on the App store right now.

We will also show some edit paths and some settings and tweaks that will help to get the best from every single app.

I would like to start with an app that I like really a lot, and seems not popular enough currently:

it's called Droste Effect - by Tracy Pleasant

Let's start with a normal shot like this one

And open it in Droste Effect

                               As you can see, the image is already altered when you open it. 

Now, let's try to set strands to zero, to change the spiral effect into a more spherical one:

Now, this kind of effect is quite similar to another app, the great MarbleCam

The difference is that here we can create both spherical and spiral distortions.

Now let's try different settings...

As you can see, you can change many settings and have very different results, so the only advice is: be patient, the app can be slow but it's worth waiting :)

Also remember to scroll down the settings section, there are many other settings other than Strands, Periods and Transparency!

Let's see the final result:

That's all - check this great app!
