Applying grunge effect to normal photos using snapseed (Experimental)
It was just days ago since I knew about snapseed and it was Maam @llfarms who introduced me to that cool editing app. So the app has multiple tools to edit your photos and attain your desired result - it has preset filters, and it also has different settings to edit manually.
Out of curiosity, I discovered the tool called grunge. I didn't know about it at first but I did a research on what is it really and eventually understand.
So according to 99designs.com
"Grunge textures are a popular trend characterized by its organic, realistic and rugged look."
I tried applying it to my pics and i find it really creep yet cool! Iike good for wallpapers and backgrounds.
And here are some of my experimental pieces

I first used the pop preset style of the app to emphasize the texture a bit more before applying the grunge effect.
