I wanna share some Prisma photos now, and then I'll turn the thread over to you lot.

To close, a couple tips I stumbled upon or learned from helpful fellow geeks.

First, with Prisma:

If you go digging around for the settings, you can eliminate that annoying "Prisma" logo that appears on all your photos by default. (I'd resorted to cropping it out in a hundred photos or so before someone explained this to me.)

Also, any time you use a given effect, gently swipe your finger on the screen from right to left to decrease the potency of the effect. This is a pretty obvious strategy that you'd probably discover quickly by accident, as I did, but I'm mentioning it anyway, because many of the Prisma photos I'm seeing on Instagram are cool, but would look cooler if the effect were not at 100%. This is of course a completely subjective observation, but I still encourage you to try decreasing the effect. Here, from left to right, is an example:

Finally, for PaintCan, the tip Joe gave me that proved so useful:

Zoom in (like, way in) and move around the photo in intense close-up while using your chosen brush effect to produce more clarity. Otherwise you will mostly produce an intriguing but ambiguous mess. (Unless you're more skilled than me, which is probable!).

One last photo for the road:
