2) Fake a Reflection:

• There are a numerous ways in which reflection shots can be captured.

• Some of these involve capturing reflection in water or on a glass or metallic surface. 

• But what if you want to convert your already taken picture in a reflection shot? Here is the solution.

• We can easily fake a reflection using PicsArt Mobile Application and make our common photograph look like a reflection shot.

• This can be done by creating a Freestyle collage in PicsArt, and selecting same image twice, and then adjust them both to have a visualization of reflection. 

• This is a very simple technique to create creative pictures, sitting at home.

Here is the brief idea of how I edited this reflection visualisation image.

3) Creative Editing  :

• Using several techniques, we can transform a simple picture into a magical one and here is the example for the same.

• The original picture only contains the sky and an aeroplane. I made use of PicsArt for the Moon, Lens Distortions for the stars and Snapseed.

• I used Snapseed to give the Black & White effect as well as the Blur effect.

This is how I edited this Picture.

4) Water & Soda :

• We can make use of Water + Baking Soda solution to form bubbles inside a glass container.

• Place a single source of light below this glass container, and make sure, there is no other lighting present in the room.

• Once you are ready with the setup, you can insert any object into the container, and take pictures. This Technique gives amazing results and the picture barely needs any editing.

• Here, I have inserted a water color pencil inside the container, of which, the color is slowly dissolving in water, and giving an amazing look to the picture.

• You can also make use of a lemon, which will float on the water surface and will give great pictures.

5) Transform Any Picture like this :

• For this picture, I have clicked a simple image on a textured surface, using depth effect.

• Using Double Exposure in Snapseed, added the sky as backdrop, and made it blur to match the composition of the picture.

• After that, I added a Silhouette image, using PicsArt Sticker.

• Here, I have made the picture Black and White. Same picture in colorful theme would also look amazing.
