I'm a professional painter and work mostly from my own photos. I have found this app great so far and think it is well worth the investment. My recommendations would be for different ratios to be made available or a grid option of standard canvas sizes to use in cropping and then creating a grid for an image. Being able to enlarge each section of an image is great! Also, more detailed instructions would be helpful. So far I have not figured out how to choose a specific number of columns that vary from the standard settings. ??

This is a good idea, but has a number of bugs that make it difficult to use

There’s a learning period when you start using this app. I still don’t understand everything this app can do. I use it with most of my oil paintings that are done inside my studio. I use this app with a smaller iPad, with Velcro attached to the back of the iPad . I can place the iPad on top of the easel with the other side of velcro. I can move to different sections of the photo to see details. I think it’s one of the best apps for artists! Update: I’ve been using this app for several years ago! I get my perspective, color values, etc. I share this app to my artist friends. It doesn’t matter where your skill level is, this app can help you. I tell them to play with the app and get familiar with the different ways you can use for your art. Buy it, work with it until you comprehend the tools available for you!
