“In the two previous installments of my series on Mextures, we saw how to layer individual components onto your photos, and how to save particular combinations of those layers as Formulas. This time we’ll wrap up by showing you how to use the pre-packaged formulas that come with Mextures, and review how to modify those formulas for your own photos.
All in all, I consider Mextures to be a very powerful app for your grunge needs. (Your grunge needs? Who would have guessed I’d ever write that?) The power of the app is in the flexibility, based in the number of filters, how those filters can be modified, and the multiple layers that can be rearranged and modified individually until you’ve got it right. Getting rid of the forced square crop made this app one that I would not soon get rid of. I hope these tutorials have helped you in your use of Mextures.
Mextures is all about 'formula's' and layers. For more of that 1970's bright haze look to a more shadowed, vignette overlay to give that old school noir camera feel.
