“Do you use any photo editing apps to enhance the final images you’ve exported from Glorify? If so, what do they add to your process?”
My answer?
Yes… ABSOLUTELY!
And here’s why…
It makes the image pop!
Back in 2009, I used Photoshop to enhance the final look of my 3D exports from Cinema 4D.
Then, in 2014, I discovered Lightroom and started using it for every export I made, applying the same process I used to edit and finalize my RAW images from photo shoots.
Now, with all the hassle around Adobe’s monthly subscriptions and the horror stories of people struggling to unsubscribe, I’ve found a new tool that I think is ten times better than Lightroom…
And now that Luminar Neo has a robust catalog feature for organizing all your images, combined with the workflow I learned from Gavin Gough’s Lightroom Mastery course, I feel unstoppable when it comes to boosting the frames I export from Glorify.
So… I highly recommend it.
Use a photo editing app like Luminar Neo to finalize your exported images and see the difference for yourself.
Here’s an example I did for Halloween a few days ago…
This is probably the most amazing morning I’ve had in a while.
And here’s why…
Crypto went up, adding a few thousand more to my account since Trump was elected.
He’s not even in office yet, and already, recent articles report that Hamas has called for an ‘Immediate’ end to the war after Trump’s election win, and Putin has praised Trump, stating that Russia is ready for dialogue.
Meanwhile, the stock market is surging, including Bitcoin, which is now at an all-time high.
So… please explain to me how someone who isn’t even in office yet is already making the world turn for the better—ending wars and boosting the economy.
Now, compare that to the last administration.
Anyways…
The victory is sweet!
Let’s go Trump!
Here’s a quick design from this morning…
Interested in this design? Want to download it into Glorify?
In Glorify, under “Images,” you can find a bunch of amazing, high-quality images from big sites like Pixabay, Pexels, and more…
But I totally understand if you can’t find the right image… even though there are millions of free images out there, sometimes it can be hard to find what you’re looking for.
If that’s you…
Here are a few other options…
Death to the Stock Photo: http://join.deathtothestockphoto.com/ Little Visuals: http://littlevisuals.co/ Unsplash: http://unsplash.com/ New Old Stock: http://nos.twnsnd.co/ Superfamous (requires attribution): http://superfamous.com/ Picjumbo: http://picjumbo.com/ The Pattern Library: http://thepatternlibrary.com/ Getrefe: http://getrefe.tumblr.com/ IM Free (requires attribution): http://imcreator.com/free Magdeleine: http://magdeleine.co/ Foodiesfeed: http://foodiesfeed.com Picography: http://picography.co/
Hope this helps…
If not, try one of my favorite sources of free images. Freepik. (contribution required)
I consider Freepik my favorite site for images… especially AI-generated images like the ones I used in my recent project for Halloween.
As you can see, there are two images in this project, one with the hikers and the other one with the monster. Both were nicely blended in Glorify using blending modes and my favorite blending technique to create this awesome background image…
And then, I added text and turn it into this AWESOME poster.
Anyway…
What I’m trying to say is… Freepik is a goldmine.
Give it a shot…
…And if you still can’t find the images you’re looking for, even after you have tried all the sites I recommended here, including Freepik, then maybe, you should give up.
Because there is no hope for you.
It’s impossible, with all the options I gave you, to not find what you’re looking for.
Just saying…
Ohhh, wait a second…
There is another option…
You could try AI image-generating tools.
I made a list of AI tools you can download for FREE below.
‘Never enjoying the fruits of your labor is a crime.‘
So, I’ll make sure I enjoy mine!
And you know what else I’m going to enjoy?
The Halloween party tonight!
Before I crack open a few beers, here is a quick design I did for the Halloween.
Let me know what you think.
In case you wonder how on Earth I was able to do this in Glorify, then let me explain.
It’s as simple as 1,2,3…
I started with the text and shadows.
Then exported it as PNG with transparent background.
Then, I found the image of the beast and on a new canvas, dropped the text on top… Used my favorite blending technique and boom!
The Film titles were the last step.
Here is a screenshot from Glorify. The process is captured across 3 canvases.
Anyway… if you want me to record a tutorial and walk you through it, then send me a quick message. Mention “Beast” so that I know what you’re reffering to.
Ohhhh… and before you go, in case you didn’t know, Glorify is offering 7-Day FREE trial… So you can give it a shot if you wanna craft powerful designs, content for social media and more…
It’s where you can take any texture, picture, graphic and clip it onto your layer below.
Just like in this example where I opened Procreate, added a new layer and typed in “chill” and then used clipping mask to clip all the textures, silouettes and other elements to the text to create this design.
And I stoked how it came out!
One click, and it instantly molds to every corner of your text without affecting the rest of your design.
Now, imagine using this in Glorify…
Wouldn’t it be amazing?
I’ve tried layering, tweaking, and using blending modes to get everything just right, but it’s not the same.
And, it takes forever!
Without a clipping mask, I feel limited in Glorify.
I’m not saying you can’t create stunning designs without it, but this one feature would open up a world of possibilities.
So far, I’ve used it in Procreate, and with zero hassle, it works like magic.
Naturally, I reached out to Omar, the CEO of Glorify, to see if this feature could be on the horizon. He said, “Consider it done.”
But since then, I haven’t seen any updates on it.
Anyway…
When it does come to Glorify, get ready to craft texture-rich text, dynamic visuals, and eye-catching designs—even faster than now.
Now that we’re in the heart of Halloween, I’ve been diving deep into Glorify, exploring ways to create powerful, atmospheric movie posters inspired by horror films.
I took on this challenge to see if Glorify could handle techniques typically reserved for Photoshop or Affinity—like blending, dodge & burn, and more—to achieve that haunting, cinematic look.
To my surprise, even though Glorify isn’t built as a heavy-duty design tool, it’s exceeded my expectations. I’m genuinely impressed with what you can create in it.
While it’s not flawless, I can confidently say it’s more than capable for movie posters that require masking and other effects.
If you enjoy it, let me know what you think! And if you’re curious to try Glorify yourself, here’s where you can get started:
Today, I designed something special—or at least, I think it is!
It’s an announcement flyer designed to promote an upcoming event, giveaway, or similar occasion.
This design can also be adapted into a series of flyers to send out via email to your subscriber list.
Alternatively, you could use it in Systeme.io, ThriveCart, or Thrive Architect to build an opt-in page or even a checkout page for a paid mini-workshop, all in the same style.
I hope you like it!

A few weeks ago, I picked up a Karcher K4 power washer, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer.
I tried it yesterday.
It works like magic.
Half the garden is now sparkling clean.
As I blasted away the dirt with ease, it hit me!
How important it is to have the right tools for the job…
And how much of a difference it makes.
If I had stuck with a brush, I would still be out there scrubbing, exhausted, and probably cursing my life.
Instead, I power-washed those tiles in minutes, excited like a kid with a garden hose.
In graphic design, marketing, or any field, it’s the same story.
When you’re creating images, ads, or social media content, you need the right tools. Try designing ebook covers in PowerPoint, and you’ll be wasting time.
Back in 2019, if you woke me up at 2 a.m. and asked me what the best tool for designers was, I would have told you, without a doubt, Photoshop. I was all in…
But since I’ve always appreciated tools that are more fun to use, I couldn’t say no to Glorify… and I had to give it a shot.
Don’t get me wrong, I used Photoshop for almost 7 years before I tried Glorify. So, I thought I knew it inside and out. But often, I felt there had to be something better, something more fun and easier to use.
And then, I found Glorify. I became an early adopter almost the same day.
Soon enough, I realized how much time I was wasting with Photoshop.
Glorify is simpler, better, and about 90% of what I was looking for.
Of course, it’s not perfect, but for what I need, it’s way more exciting to use than Photoshop.
Since Glorify 3.0, I’ve ditched Photoshop completely. Now, I do all my designs in Glorify, and I couldn’t be happier.
A few days ago, I designed this fun Facebook cover. I tried a few variations and loved how it came out.
Would I be able to design it in Photoshop?
Of course!
But in Glorify, it’s more fun.

Yesterday, I started working on a mini-course for Glorify that I’m going to give away as a bonus to those who sign up for Glorify.
I’ve just completed the outline and am about to start working on the videos.
I’m considering giving it away either as a bonus or as an email series spread across 12 days.
Or maybe I’ll do both.
It will be free for people who already have Glorify but aren’t sure how to design anything, so it’s geared toward complete beginners. It will also be a bonus for those who are thinking about getting Glorify but haven’t taken the plunge yet.
So, I’m planning to create a page with an opt-in form. People will enter their email and be automatically redirected to another page that says something like this:
“Thanks for signing up! The first video in the 12-part series is on its way to your mailbox. I hope you provided the correct email address so you don’t miss it.
While you’re waiting for the first video to arrive, please note that you’ll need access to the Glorify design tool to follow along.
I know it’s obvious, but just making sure you know that it’s about Glorify (my favorite design tool) and that you’ll need access to it to follow along.
Lucky you, I’m giving away all my bonuses on this page. You can grab them if you haven’t gotten Glorify yet.
If you already have Glorify, then head over to your mailbox and enjoy the first video in the 12-part series.
The subject line will be:
Glorify 101 – 1/12: Getting to Know Glorify
I’m going to walk you through it, help you navigate, show you my favorite features, and give you access to my color palettes and other resources.
Ready?
Then, let’s go!”
I think this is not bad. There is obviously a better way to write such a message, but for now, just to move on and publish it as soon as possible, I’ll leave it the way it is.
Once it’s up, I’ll test it against another version or, based on feedback, change it, rewrite it, add a few things, or do whatever else needs to be done until I write a message that resonates with people and prompts them to take action.
You know when you look at an advertisement and can’t help but wonder, “What the hell is this font?”
And the more you look at it, the more you like it…
Well, that’s exactly what happened to me the other day.
I took a screenshot of the headline (by the way, this font is perfect for headlines, titles, and news-style ads) where you need a font that screams, “Look at me, I’m here!” and will help you keep that attention.
It’s bold and it stands out.
It’s something you can’t miss when you stumble upon it.
Not too different from getting smacked with a hammer right in your face.
Anyway, after I took the screenshot, I went to find out what it is using tools like “whatthefont” from MyFonts, and it spat out a few options.
After digging into it with a magnifying glass, I finally found out what font it is… and it was none other than,
Jubilat.
It’s part of Adobe Fonts.
It’s expensive, and you probably won’t own it until you’re a hundred percent in love with it and want this font to be your main font.
Here, I wanted to show you how I used in my recent design.
Recently, I’ve been playing with the idea of crafting one design each day for 30 days and immediately turning it into a usable template people can download and do whatever they want with it.
Let’s say you’re starting a new online business and finding it difficult to come up with graphics, logos, content ideas…
…branding is as foreign to you as cave exploring… and you’re seeking inspiration to kickstart your projects and get going…
…and while you’ve been poking around, you stumble upon a killer design that you really like, fits your imagination, and you know your customers will respond well to it… and want to use this design style immediately.
Well, you’ll be able to download it into your Glorify and customize it however you like.
Without worrying about the layout, color palettes, which fonts to use, and other essential graphic design geeky things that might not matter to you but without them, the branding, the design looks less than stellar.
And so… I’m kicking this off with a design below. And each day for 30 days straight, I’ll upload one design to my website, designwithglorify.com, where you’ll be able to download them.
The format will be as follows:
Glorify design template…
A brief description…
And a link to download it.
And yes, all my Glorify templates will be free.
Let’s start with this one.
