Installing Additional Fonts on your Phone Tutorial (Phonto)

Give Away Winners Announced & a Kinfolk Give Away 

looked what arrived in the mail.... Kinfolk Volume Seven.... Yes indeedy....do.

Hello lovelies.... How are you? I hope well.

I'm popping in as promised to announce the give away winners from Sunday's posting.... I also have another iPhone/SmartPhone tutorial.

Have you tried the app Phonto? It's awesome..... It's packed full of fabulous fonts you can use to add text to your photos on your device. I LOVE it. There's a ton of fonts already in the app, but like most font-attics.... I can never have too many at my fingertips.....

So I put together a quick little tutorial..... walking you through a quick & painless way to install fonts from you computer onto your phone or device.

Phonto gives you the instruction for installing fonts using iTunes... But I have another way to share with you.... using dropbox or a cloud storage system. Check out the tutorial for a little Phonto tut and the step by step instructions for adding fonts to your Phonto app.

Sidenote: you will need to know where your fonts are located on your system. This varies from PC to Mac....but a quick google will get you there.... Also be sure to copy not move the fonts to your dropbox folder.

Okie doke.... check out the video below for more details.

iPhone / Phone Camera Tutorials & 2 Give Away Opportunities

Hello, how are you? I hope well.

Oh my goodness.... I've been under the weather this past week. In fact, it's all a bit of a blur. But, it feels good to find my way back. My oh my.... good health is such a gift....

Anyhow, sweet friends, I have some good stuff today....Let's dive right in.

I receive lots of emails, asking about iPhone photo editing... my favourite apps, how to use textures on the iPhone etc.... Today I'm going to focus on that. I have 2 iPhone/Phone screencasts for you. 

First, just recently adobe released PS TOUCH for iPhones and androids. It originally released for the iPad/tablets. Anyhow, I LOVE it..... It has a lot of fabulous photoshop features.... seriously packed with all kinds of power and possiblities. Today's tutorial is texture specific...Just enough to get you texturizing on your phone.

As for accessing my textures from my phone....I store all of my textures in the Adobe Revel cloud, so I can access them from any of my devices...even my macbook.... The Revel lets you import as many photos as you want for the first 30 days. After that you can import up to 50 photos every month. It's a free service. Check out my video for a quick walk through. (thanks again today Wendy Woodby for the heads up on this... xo)

Dropbox is also another option. I don't know what I ever did without dropbox. I use it all the time between my iMac and Macbook....and on my phone and iPad... It's great for accessing files on the go....sharing files, photos etc.

Finally, The awesome folks at Totally Rad released a new app called Pic Tap Go..... It's so fun.... I put together a quick little demo below... LOVE...LOVE...LOVE...

As for a few of my other FAVOURITE iPhone Apps. Let's see. I love Phonto and Over for adding type to my images. (but PS Touch also lets you do this) I think I will always love the VSCO cam app.... and pre-PS Touch ... Snapseed was always my first stop.

Okie doke...before you check out the videos, how 'bout a give away?

I have 2...

1. a spot in my upcoming Photoshop/Elements class Picture Process. (8 weeks access to the Elements or CS6 class).

2. my latest Texture set, The Cloth & Paper Collection. 

To enter, share your favourite Phone app below.... not into phone photography?... that's okay...... How 'bout a favourite font... We all love fonts.... Right?! :)

I will announce the winner here on Wednesday.

I think that covers it. I'm off to find something for dinner. :)

Here's to a fabulous week.... so much gratitude.

xo,

p.s This week's Texture Tuesday is anything goes....which means.. pop back and share your favourite photo..textured, untextured, iPhone.... share, share, share... xo
