Prisma is Now Available on Android

What is Prisma?

Android users can now download Prisma, the popular app that’s using artificial intelligence to turn your boring photos into works of art. It transforms your photos into artworks using the styles of famous artists: Munk, Picasso as well as world famous ornaments and patterns. A unique combination of neural networks and artificial intelligence helps you turn memorable moments into timeless art.

With Prisma, you get the opportunity to use existing pictures on your phone or new ones taken through the app, to create “awesome artworks”. Prisma is a photo effects app whose workflow mimics that of popular photo sharing apps like Instagram and EyeEm. Once those filters are applied, you can then choose to save it to your phone, share with with Facebook or Instagram, or, using Android’s Share button, to any number of other apps.

What’s so special about Prisma over other similar photo apps?

Prisma is by no means the first app to produce beautiful, fantastical, and psychedelic photos using filters, but the consensus around the internet is that it does it the best. The secret sauce is AI — yes, artificial intelligence — that processes each photo differently depending on the filter. The app reportedly learns and adapts the way it implements these filters over time, using the data it gets from each person’s photos.

How do you use Prisma?

Prisma is easy to use. When you first open the app, you’ll see a square viewfinder with a virtual shutter button.

Taking a new photo in Prisma

1. Open the Prisma app.
2. Locate a subject you want to photograph. The higher the contrast between the subject and background, the better.

4. Select a filter from the horizontal list. Wait for it to process.

5. Select effect intensity by sliding finger horizontally across photo (if desired).

Top 5 Tips to Use Prisma on Android

1. Don’t Use Prisma’s Built-in Camera
Prisma’s built-in camera lacks HDR, night mode, white balance correction and manual mode. All you can do with the Prisma’s camera is turn the flash on or off. So use the HDR mode, apply some filters and take a good photo to start with. If your camera has the option to take square photos, don’t forget to enable that. As Prisma only accepts square photos, you will get an idea of the frame you’ll get after processing.

2. Maximum Intensity Does Not Always Mean the Best
After a filter is applied on Prisma, it’s applied with 100% intensity, but it’s not always necessary that the maximum intensity is going to be the best. You can swipe left or right on the photos to increase or decrease the intensity of the filters and sometimes, just a little bit of these effects are enough to make the photos look good.

3. Remove the Watermark
By default, the app applies a watermark in the bottom right corner of the artworks it creates. However, the watermark is too big in my opinion, and if you are planning to take a printout of the photos, it will not look good. While you are on the screen to select photos in Prisma app, tap on the settings wrench icon and here you will find the option to remove the watermark. The option is not monetized and you won’t be charged a penny to make the changes.

4. Auto-save All Your Creations
At times, you want to save and share a photo in more than one filter and saving all the creations automatically will come to rescue in such scenarios. The option is located under settings and will automatically save all the effects you apply in Prisma to a photo.

5. Spice Up Selfies with MSQRD and Other Such Apps
Needless to say, most of the users will use the Prisma app to post selfies. While the normal pout face might never go out of fashion, you can add some especial effects to these selfies by using 3rd party selfie apps like MSQRD to spice things up. You can also use apps like Layout to create Prisma photos with different frames and make your photos stand out from the rest.
