Have you ever seen a Diptic like this? It appears as though the images are "coming out" of the frames, and it looks pretty awesome. Awesome? Yes. Difficult to achieve? No! Follow these six steps and you'll impress your friends with your mobile photography skills in no time.

1. Create a Diptic and import the same photo into two frames, creating a Split Diptic. Line the images up so they look like one image separated by the frame line. Export and save it to your device.Diptic Pro Tip #2: Breaking the Frame

2. Open a photo-blending app (we use our app Layover, which costs $.99 in the iTunes Store) and import the original photo into the first layer.Diptic Pro Tip #2: Breaking the Frame

4. From the Split Diptic layer, use the Mask feature and erase part of the white frame that separates the two pictures, letting the first layer show through. Diptic Pro Tip #2: Breaking the Frame
