#picsart tutorial

Also if you'd like to see my editing process, there's a video showing it below the cut!

Before We Start:

I'm not a professional editor, this is just the way I make my edits.

This is a tutorial for absolute beginners with the apps I'm gonna use.

Feel free to dm or comment if you have a query. I'll try my best to assist you!

Make sure to plug in some music! I'm currently listening to the ep "always" by keshi!

Apps used: Picsart & Polarr!

First, prepare your photos for the layouts. I chose two pics from Seori's photoshoot for her single "Trigger".

Open Picsart and click on the + Button at the bottom. Click on the "Edit a photo" option

.Next, Choose any photo! Then, scroll the tools to the "Fit" option and select the ratio required. I'm making an icon out of this photo so I chose the square option.

Then adjust the photo so that the white background isn't visible to your liking:

Now click on the ✓ button and then the arrow in the same place at the extreme top right!

Next, Click on the save button and save it yout gallery to access it later.

Now, follow the same steps to make the rest of the icons and headers!

Open the polarr app. You need to create an account for this step which is simple!

Next, click on the open photos option and choose the most clear and visible photo as a reference to create the filter that will be used on the rest of the pics!

Now, click on the adjust button next to transform:

Adjust the stuff to your liking!

A tip to create the filters that change the color of the photo like these:

(feel free to use these filters but with credit!)

is to click on the "HSL" button and select the main color of the photo. eg this photo's blue. Then adjust the color hue bar!

For this photo I used my own filter called "snowy"

Don't forget to save your filter using the button circled in red:

Now apply the same filter to the other pics to make them match!

I really hope this helped!

Requests are always open and welcome!

And if you have picsart, give my account a chance! I used to post my edits (like actual shape edits not layouts) and I'm still active there!

So I went ahead and made a tutorial for you (:

1. Editing software

You're going to need a photo editing app or software. I do all of my edits on my phone so I use picsart for this. It is free but some of the fancier stuff is included in three premium version. If you're on desktop, Gimp is like photoshop and also free.

2. You need a file to start with

Here is a basic black line divider I got from the web. It's the basis for all my dividers (:

3. Add photo

Next you're going to want to add a photo. All of my dividers are actually photos of various things. You can search up photos of rainbows, ombres/gradients, sparkles, marble, etc. Just a plain image. I usually search for a wallpaper which gives me a clean plain picture to work with. Pinterest is great for this (:

5. Choose your photo

Then you select a photo and click add. For this tutorial, I'm using that pastel photo from my aesthetic folder. I have a lot of aesthetic and pretty photos saved in my phone.

6. Enlarge the photo.

Drag the little icon I have highlighted above until the edges match up with the edges of your starting template. You can zoom out to see the edges better by pinch the empty space around your photo.

7. Line everything up.

Blue lines will appear when everything is aligned both vertically and horizontally. It's hard to see on a small scale but they are a very bright blue so just move slowly and carefully. If you're new to editing, when you're enlarging the photo, extend the sides past the edges to give yourself some wiggle room. (:

8. Saving

Hit the arrow button which will take you to the save page. Select save at the bottom. Then choose your option. I always save to phone. After you've saved, hit done and that's it. You'll have an album in your gallery for Picsart and your photo will be saved there

So I use Pinterest to find my pictures and pics art to put the collage together

I like to search whatever is related to the character and with aesthetic and scroll through until I find the ones I like

If you want a middle picture i go to the wiki

In PicsArt go to ‘collage’ and then ‘grid’

Pick your photos (9 makes for a nice layout but it’s up to you)

Move around your photos till you like how they fit. You can pick add photo if you want a middle one

If you have a picture that suits the aesthetic but the colour is wrong you can click ‘fx’ on that picture and go to pop art then color graidient and adjust it till it fits
