Prisma photo editing app to get video support soon

NEW DELHI: Photo editing app Prisma is quite the rage these days. The app, which allows users to apply various artistic filters to their photos, recently launched on Google Play Store. And soon, the app will be getting video support as well.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Prisma is working on a tool which will allow the application of its artistic effects on short video clips as well. The company also confirmed that the technology is ready and is expected to be rolled out in the coming weeks. The app makers just need to update the computing infrastructure to support the complexities involved in handling videos before going live with the feature.

In its own words, Prisma “transforms photos into artworks using styles of famous artists: Munk, Picasso, as well as world famous ornaments and patterns”.

Users can share edited photos on social networks as well. The app aims to compete with some of the other similar apps in the market like Instagram, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and more.


Prisma comes with a total of 36 filters. However, applying filters takes quite a bit of time. It’s also possible to control the intensity of the filters.

Unlike most other photo-editing apps which simply overlap the filter effect on the existing image, Prisma creates the complete image from ground-up using its artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Adobe recently announced some new updates for its Lightroom photo-editing app on Android and iOS. For iOS users, the updated Adobe Lightroom v2.4 brings two major improvements – the ability to import RAW images, and linear and radial selections. For Android, the update introduces Pro mode.
