Artist's Eye

★★★★★ Awesome At first I was doubtful but tried it and wow what a great tool. I do think a person who has bat least basic sketching skills would get more from it than some one without.. But gjve it a try eith patients it might surprise you what you can do.

★★★★★ Works well. Thank you. For people that dont know... this is a digital camera lucida. Take a picture, and then view your drawing area on the display of your cam/ipad. You see both your drawing area and the image you took -- you can adjust the opacity of the digital overlay allowing for easy tracing. 4 feature requests please: -(High)LOCK THE IMAGE. when I am changing opacity, it is too easy to move the image -(Mid)Save Image settings... sometimes I will have the camera mounted and want to switch between 2 or 3 images and I would like to be able to restore, in particular, the skew setting but also zoom and position for an individual image. -(Low)Manual Camera focus -- auto doesnt always work so well -(Low)Auto adjust skew based on camera angle (if you wanted to be fancy :) ) thanks again for a great app.

★★☆☆☆ Horrible on phone, great on tablet I'll try this review again. I got this for my mother, the artist. She paints from photographs in her art class and doesn't do well with proportions in her work. This app works GREAT on my older tablet, but not on my Galaxy S4 phone. It's easy to figure out ways to support a phone (such as on a cardboard box on its side with a hole for the camera), but will take quite a bit of ingenuity, which is hard to come by in a "non-handy" family, for the tablet. Plus my tablet is really heavy for her to carry to and from class, along with all of her supplies. I can't get the app to recognize and import photos on the phone. It only "sees" 2 (identical) photos. I emailed the developer some time ago, but have yet to hear back. This actually rates 2 stars because of that. I really want to love this app, because when it works, it's terrific; otherwise it is a waste of space and $. Since my mother can't figure out a smartphone, she would be using one of my devices. I was even considering getting a no contract phone for her, just to use this app, but without any developer support, that's not going to happen.

★★☆☆☆ Been working well for me until today -- today, it won't open any image, giving me an "out of memory error” message. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling because my tablet is definitely not out of memory, it must be the app. Edit: Removing a couple of stars because i keep encountering a " out of memory error ". I don't know what that could mean, since I've cleared memory and any apps running in the background. But if it won't load my photo, i can't use it.

★★☆☆☆ This app has potential. Only gave two stars because when I down loaded the paid version images are out of focus and not suitable for fine art. The image canvas could be larger. Image lock would be an advantage. At the moment when I go to change the transparency it's easy to move the image. I'm using a Samsung A8
