[#3 in Random - May 7th]
many of you guys wanted to know how I did the edit above for that contest, so here's a little tutorial!
1st and 4th Panel

i. Open your colored background in Superimpose and then upload your PNG as the foreground. Turn the contrast all of the way down under the filter tab and then turn the colors all of the way up to make it white. Merge and save. If you want the black splatter on it like I did above, just upload you splatter photo as the foreground and then put it where desired.

2nd and 3rd Panels

i. To get the person's face first off, just open your colored background in Superimpose (I chose black) and then your PNG of the person as the foreground. Save this and open it in Pics Art.
ii. Select FX , then Artistic, and then press polygon. Mess around with the settings under this until you get the look you want. Press the check mark. Then, select FX again, go to Artistic and then scroll over until you find "Neon". Play around with the options under this and then press the check mark again. Save.

iii. I added a Polarr filter to mine, which is how it got so vibrant and colorful. You don't have to, but in my opinion it makes it look better.
String and Text
i. After putting your image in a collage (I used Pixlr), open it in Superimpose as the background. Open up a color of your choice as the foreground and make sure it fills the entire edit. Go to mask, brush, and erase all of the foreground photo. Don't merge.
ii. Now, go to mask again and select the eraser tool. I put mine on the lowest brush size it can go, but after that, you just draw your string on there as desired. When you're done, save it and open it in Phonto to add your text.
did I explain all of that right? I feel like I'm missing something...
this book is almost to 300k reads though and nearing 12k votes and I'm just an emotional mess over here, like how??
