Ed sitting in front of a reflective piece - image taken w fugi fine pix -- image put on iPad and numerous applications used to get effect. Too grainy for my tastes but that's the nature of the apps--at least so far. I love the effects I can get w them -- they are fantastic especially when combined and there are a couple of apps that offer levels, curves and masks!! Also many more that give topaz labs competition but their effects are not up to par as compared to photoshop. The best thing to do is to take the image into photoshop to see if u can fine tune it. I like grunge so am happy w those particular effects. Shu
