If you’re not connected to Facebook, it’ll ask you to connect so that you can get and use your friends’ photos.

Frames in Muzy Effects

When you use the Muzy Effects app, you have a choice of frames to add to your image. Let’s take a look at the frame options and what they add to your pic. The frame option is separate from the other effects. You can only add one frame to your picture. If you change the frame, it takes off the old frame. The frame you’ve chosen appears at the bottom of the list of effects, and the other effects don’t change the frame. The first frame is the Instant frame, and it makes your pic look like an instant photo.

The Blurry Effect

Let’s take a close-up look at one of the photo effects in Muzy’s Effects app… “Blurry.” Blurry applies a directional blur moving outward from the center of the image. Here’s a picture of my cat, Chaplin, that I brought into Effects. I chose this picture because Chaplin is pretty much in the center of the photo.

Choosing Draw vs. Collage for Your Drawing

The drawing and collage creation tools on Muzy are very similar to each other. You can use either one to create a drawing. So, what’s the difference? Which one should you choose?

The Drawing Editor

Some Muziers prefer using the drawing editor for their original drawings. This editor is simple to use, and it relies on your drawing skills for the final result. If you want an editor that’s easy to use, has few tools, and relies on you drawing talent, the drawing editor might be the right choice for you.
