Selecting one visual element to serve as the background layer, and another to serve as the foreground, the app offers a variety of blending tools, plus colour adjustment and layer masking. It was released last October, with the most recent update \u2013 version 2.0 of the app \u2013 arriving\u00a0in June. Fused\u2019s artist\u2019s collections afford a range of free and paid-for visuals which you can use to blend with your own photos and videos.<\/p>\n

The app can achieve\u00a0fairly complex effects very easily: it is intuitive to use,\u00a0and fun given how quickly you\u00a0can start to create interesting\u00a0blended images.
