Get the most out of Snapied's Gingham filter with these expert techniques
Choose Images with Natural Light
The Gingham filter works best on images shot in natural light, particularly soft, diffused daylight. Photos taken outdoors during golden hour or in bright, indirect light will respond beautifully to the filter's purple tints and contrast adjustments. For indoor shots, try to use natural window light rather than harsh artificial lighting for the most flattering results when applying the Gingham filter.
Adjust Intensity for Different Subjects
Different subjects benefit from different intensity levels of the Gingham filter. For portraits, use a lower intensity (30-40%) to maintain natural skin tones while adding just a hint of vintage charm. For lifestyle and still life photography, medium intensities (50-60%) create a more noticeable vintage effect. For creative or artistic shots where you want a stronger statement, higher intensities (70-80%) can create a more dramatic purple-tinted look.
Consider Color Harmony
The Gingham filter adds subtle purple tints to your images, so consider color harmony when selecting photos to enhance. Images with complementary colors to purple—like yellows and greens—will create pleasing contrast when the filter is applied. Photos with existing purple or lavender elements will have these colors amplified. For a harmonious look, consider images with neutral backgrounds or subjects wearing colors that work well with purple tints.
Combine with Other Adjustments
For professional-quality results, consider combining the Gingham filter with subtle additional adjustments. After applying the filter, try slightly increasing the clarity to enhance texture, adding a touch of grain for an authentic film look, or using a subtle vignette to direct focus to your subject. These complementary adjustments can enhance the vintage aesthetic while maintaining a polished, professional appearance.
