With Cloudinary's transformation options, you as web or mobile developers can manipulate images in real time through dynamic URLs, from optimization and responsive delivery to other tasks, complete with cool effects. For example, a robust transformation applies another image to displace your base image with a mapping algorithm that evaluates the base image's pixels, displacing them according to the intensity of the corresponding image's map pixels.


A few years ago, post-processing a digital image generally required a high level of skill and expensive software such as PhotoShop. But in recent years, popular photo sharing apps such as Instagram, Flickr, and Snapchat started offering built-in filters. Professionals take advantage of filters to make subtle corrections or adjustments. Casual users often apply more prominent filters that add their own unique touch or just make their images more fun.

Do you like to show your photos exactly as they were taken or do you usually tweak them a little to get that extra punch? What about applying artistic filters before sharing them with your friends and family?
