> I guess it's the magic of the touchscreen and it's limitations.
not the touchscreen exactly. Keep in mind that I have used effects for it and it´s only the definition or size the only factors that could prevent it from being 100% complete or actually good looking on PC.

My mobile screen takes like 4.3 inches, more or less like the average IPhone size so yeah, pretty small in comparison even though I feel like editing more there than on PC. PC serves for polishing the picture and a few additional effects......for now.

> It's hard to translate tiny feels and nonverbal urges into something that makes sense to word. 
yeah, mostly because everything happens really fast and I just don´t think about it. It´s spontaneous as hell and I modify it depending on what my eye detects. Either way, I felt like describing it because you were impressed and almost asked how I changed that picture....so I implied you were looking for the backstory. Don´t take my words as scientific but that was the most cohesive way to describe it.

 
> when I run an image through several filters and do a bunch of random other random things and just sit and think "this looks nice. how did I do this?". 
imagine having to explain this one  >>/1822/. I swear, I have no idea how I have created that and it goes beyond picking several filters. I cannot repeat that flawed image mostly because the finger is inconsistent and I just used it for creating some kind of texture, trying to avoid the real life stuff and cover it with a mess. 

Literally you have summarized the feelings pretty well. You just do it and then, unless you screencap the adjustments, there is no way you can remember exactly how it actually went. Maybe a few worth mentioning details but that´s it.

 
> Maybe useful at somepoint but don't contribute much to the style that you have right now with mobile. 
yeah, if anything, it serves a little bit more of definition. That button serves as the cherry on top of the cake. 

> I've been checking out a few of the filters that I haven't messed with in awhile and seeing if anythng more can be done (pic related, though it isn't a great example, been messing around a bit with old photo filter and seeing what things can be added)
the example that you are posting lacks of shadows, ambient, background and depth. I normally try to avoid plain images because I can barely do anything with them. That rediscovery and interest could bring something interesting. I can notice that Dolores has a big stain and two different tones of pink around. 

Some kind of shadow or depth added to the body could be added with this effect though I have it too unclear to judge, considering that I am not using the program. 

> The wings is what really stood out to me sharpness. It honestly looks good, even if it's not your hardest work it just feels like a lot of things came together ta make a pretty balanced and vastly improved image, even with some of the little oddities you noted.
yeah though my objective was making Luna´s mane less saturated, that discolor had to have a bit of company behind. The sharpness just simply came and I only intensified on PC. It´s satisfying to hear that criticism and that something productive was made. While it´s a simple edit, there are slight touches that I can´t remember.
