Graphite Sketchbook by BeCasso for iOS App for iPhone and iPad – App of the Day
Graphite Sketchbook by BeCasso enables artists to transform photographs into polished sketched looking images. It’s simple to operate, ensure that you have enabled ‘Share your Camera Roll’ within the app and then just select an image from your Photos folder and view the toolkit of features to edit this image.
Stylize
Once in the Stylize tab there are a host of filters to adjust your images. Just tap on each filter to see your image change to a new style.
Edit
In the Edit tab you can make subtle tweaks to your image.
Crop
The crop tool enables the artist to transform your image into a portrait or landscape postcard or a square (ideal if you intend to send this image to Instagram).
Retouching
With retouching it’s simple to use your fingertip to erase or to emphasise specific details. Select alternative paper selections, adding texture. As well as the facility to adjust brightness, saturation, contrast or shadows using a slider tool.
Price and compatibility
Graphite Sketchbook for BeCasso is free to download and comes with a good array of features. But there is a subscription model to enable more options. For example to release more editing tools and one that’s key, to remove watermarks. If when you’ve created a postcard you would like it to be shipped, BeCasso charge $1.99 for this facility. It’s also possible to order prints directly from your creation within the app, via Canvaspop, of course there are charges for this too.
All in all, it’s a fun app and might be something you’re looking for.
