Basically, it allows you to take one of your photos and turn it into an Impressionist painting!
Do you want to see?
So this ...

As you can see, it does work well on landscapes (and not well at all on cross stitch finishes, I can tell you!).
The App was not expensive, about $4 or $5 dollars (AUD) but worth it for the fun I am having with it.
P.S. Do you like my yellow roses? They are loving the Indian Summer which we are having.
hugs,
P.S. Mini asked why I called it an Indian summer - so here is a definition:
"Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in Autumn"
"Although the exact origins of the term are uncertain,it was perhaps so-called because it was first noted in regions inhabited by Native Americans (incorrectly labelled "Indians"), or because the Native Americans first described it to Europeans, or it had been based on the warm and hazy conditions in autumn when native Americans hunted.
In the UK, observers knew of the American usage from the mid-19th century onwards, and The Indian Summer of a Forsyte is the metaphorical title of the 1918 second volume of The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy."
Not sure how it made its way to Australia!
P.P.S. Using this App makes me feel like an artist, which is nice, as I cannot draw for peanuts!

Oh i love the conversion for landscapes.I'm inquisitive why do you call it Indian Summer.
Thanks, Mini, I have updated the post with an explanation for Indian summer.
Thanks, makes me feel like an artist!
Thank you for the information. Its interesting to know the origins of terms used in different cultures.
You are so welcome, my dear.
firstly....I am tickled pink to be referred to as someones dear bloggy friend! secondly, the arty photo's look amazing....love the roses but I also love the cat on the quilt. Thirdly, ditto about feeling like a bona fide artist because I can't draw for peanuts either! Lastly, thanks for the plug to my blogs.....dear bloggy friend of mine!

What a clever App! My son likes playing with the different effects on the iPad camera but they are not as artistic as these!
That's a great App!

Hi Kaye,
Isn't it amazing what these apps can do? I don't own a
cell phone .... I know, we're neanderthals here ... but my
ipad does this with an app randomly and it's fun to see
how these things turn out.
Even without the app your photos are gorgeous and a
pleasure to see! Especially that handsome fellow
stretched out and sound asleep.
Wonder what the opposite of "Indian Summer" is? You
know, when it's spring and the weather should be
warm, sunny and ... well ... spring like and suddenly
you get a week (or two) of cold, snow and misery.
Canadian Winter?
Cheers!
That app does such fun things! Lovely roses. I also enjoy Indian Summer, ours comes in Oct.or late Sept.
Hello Kaye,
The beach scene is lovely, I can imagine making a few gift cards with these photos.
Happy days.
Bev.
Interesting app - intriguing results with your photos.
