Looking good in social media has become a culture now and when it’s about updating our pictures on social media, there’s always an urge to look our absolute best. Instagram photo filter has become popular because of the variation of filter effects which is surely a boon for selfie addicts. Step aside Instagram; the latest photo-enhancing app craze is Prisma, an app from Russian developers that turns prosaic smartphone shots into art!

Before the launch of Prisma, there were filters like sketch which delivers pencil sketch art of your picture. But Prisma app uses artificial intelligence cloud processing to apply the painting effects of master painters such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Munch, and Mondrian to your digital snapshots.

Here are a few things to consider when using this really impressive app and some pointers to its future directions. The app is free to try out for yourself (for now), so if you're an iPhone user who wants to be dazzled by your own photos turning into art, get over to the iTunes App Store.

I took the following selfie and here is the result when one of the Prisma filter (Tears) was used:

To find out how it works, here is the quick guide:

1. First, open Prisma App from your iOS device.

2. You can select the image to edit. You can capture a fresh image or use a stored image to edit. Here I have selected a stored selfie to edit.

3. You can crop and adjust the size or rotate the image before applying the filter. I have only cropped the image a bit as no adjustments were needed to rotate the picture.

4. You can see multiple filter options. As per your choice, you can select any filter to edit. For my picture I have chosen the filter Tears. Simply clicking on the filter transformed my image into a work of art!

5. You can instantly share it on social networking sites or can store it on your smartphone.

Through the marvelous filter options, Prisma is sure to compete with all its competitors and is soon becoming the favorite photo edit app for the click-happy lot!
