Tutorial: Editing Using PicsArt to Create Surrealistic Images Holga is a PicsArt effect that transforms images into surrealistic artwork. The effect splits an image into two overlapping and translucent copies of itself, with each half having different pop art accents, which intersect and overlap in interesting ways. Holga Effect, found in the Pop Art Effects section of PicsArt, comes in two versions: Holga 1 and Holga 2. @jademae Holga 1 features a Vignette filter which can be lessened and intensified. Holga 2, meanwhile, is very similar in concept but has an alternative color scheme, and rather than a vignette filter, it offers a fade option. This tutorial demonstrates how to transform the plainest photo into a compelling Pop Art using PicsArt's Holga 1 Effect. Step 1: Select Effects from the main menu of PicsArt and upload a photo. 24 | PicsArt Monthly
