Superimpose is a powerful iPhoneography app enabling individual elements to be masked via various tools to add to a background image using the usual blending methods. Masked elements can be saved in a library to be used in future projects. Various filters are available within the app to adjust the levels of both foreground and background images.
Here is how it works...
1. Load a background image.
2. Load a foreground image.
3. Mask out unwanted portion of the foreground image using wide range of masking tools.
4. Smoothen the edges with smoothen tool inside the app, if required.
5. Move, Scale, Resize, Rotate, Flip the foreground to place it on the right location on the background image.
6. Adjust the colors/exposure/contrast/hue/saturation etc. of the foreground and the background images if required to match both the images in terms of colors.
7. You are done! Save the blended image to the photo library at full resolution or share it on Facebook and Twitter.
You can also use this tool to do serious photo editing tasks like blending textures or overlaying borders or to do double exposure with adjustable transparency and 18 blending modes.
Masking in the app is the most powerful one available on the app store, just tap on an area of the photo, and the app will mask out all the connected area with similar colors. Or you can use brush, lasso, polygon, global color similarity, rectangle, ellipse, linear, bi-linear, radial gradient, mask from image, mask from text, magic mask and hair refine masking tools. Mask an area with this tool and that area of the foreground image will become transparent and reveal the background.
You can even drop a shadow of the foreground onto the background.

I have been invited to contribute a few guest articles to the Manfrotto blog focusing on mobile photography.
Reflecting on my year of iPhoneography. My most popular images on Instagram. My most popular workflows and the apps most frequently downloaded.
The inspiration for this article came from a week away in Portugal. Until I studied some street shots closely, I discarded them as a waste of a tap. When I did get chance to look at them through fresh eyes though, I saw a few things that I liked. Specifically regarding this image, I used two captures as raw material for a single atmospheric composition.
Yellow Rose is a painterly textured iPhoneography still life floral image processed using textures from both Snapseed and Stackables. Its inspiration stems from Skipology selecting Stackables as app of the week this week.
I’ve had this ethereal iPhoneography image in my mind for a while. Finally I found the time to do it and this article discusses the process.
Critique is an essential part of the iPhoneography process. Most of us probably prefer to self critique, I know I do. Ultimately, it results in a self curated collection of iPhoneography images.
This textured floral iPhoneography image started life as a test image for an app that went free, Instaflash Pro, and ended up as one of my most popular images on Instagram.
My iPhoneography image ‘In the moment’ is created from multiple Hipstamatic iPhone images blended together. I am delighted that it has been featured by the The App Whisperer and Art of Mob in their weekly showcases.
My textured floral still life iPhoneography image ‘Daisies’ has been featured by both Mortal Muses and The App Whisperer this weekend. Thank you!
I combine a number of iPhone apps to generate a result that resembles a painting. App stacking should mask the signature appearance of any single app. I also look at boosting resolution.
I really enjoy painterly or textured mobile photography processing. Occasionally, I stumble across a new (to me) app and it gives me an opportunity to revisit old edits with a new tool.
