Step 1 of 30

Disclaimer: I'm not associated with Typic, the app is just nice. It's almost like Instagram, without the social networking part. It is a free app.

Step 2 of 30

Disclaimer: This is for iPhones and iPods only.

Step 3 of 30

This is the app we'll be using.

Step 4 of 30

Step 5 of 30

Press the camera. Pictures are placed in a square box like Instagram.

Step 6 of 30

Here's a picture loaded...familiar? Let's go through the filters. If you don't want to...skip to step 11.

Step 7 of 30

Filter: JMS.

Step 8 of 30

Filter: Vanilla.

Step 9 of 30

Filter: Children.

Step 10 of 30

Filter: Saturn.

Step 11 of 30

Filter: B + W.

Step 12 of 30

Here's where you write your text...if you don't want to, skip to step 22.

Step 13 of 30

Press Write Your Caption. Then, just type it in. I don't believe it's limited to two lines of text, this is just what I wrote.

Step 14 of 30

You can make the caption smaller with the text size buttons.

Step 15 of 30

You can move the text around with your fingers. It doesn't "snap" to the picture; it freely moves.

Step 16 of 30

Here's the second font at the bottom of the picture. The first one is in the previous steps.

Step 17 of 30

Third font.

Step 18 of 30

Fourth font.

Step 19 of 30

Fifth font.

Step 20 of 30

Sixth font.

Step 21 of 30

Seventh font.

Step 22 of 30

Press the square in the upper left corner to center the caption.

Step 23 of 30

Next screen. If you don't want to do this either...go to step End.

Step 24 of 30

Text Opacity makes the text less visible, an fades it out or in. This is helpful if you want a watermark on your photo.

Step 25 of 30

The frame slider rounds out the edges.

Step 26 of 30

Lens Blur blurs the picture for a nice effect.

Step 27 of 30

Frame color changes it from white to black or vice versa.

Step 28 of 30

You can save it, email it, Facebook it, tweet it, and even Instagram it.

Step 29 of 30

The final photo.

Step 30 of 30

I call it, "Instagram without the...gram or insta part" and "Snapseed for true novices".

You're Done!

Miss Apple, yesterday, I noticed that typic was being offered as a free app. So I got it for my iPad 2. It is optimized for the iPhone but I think I will play around with it today on my iPad, using your guide. Thanks again!

Yeah, sorry about that. I guess it is for phones and iPods only.
