An eyedropper tool lets you pick colors off the screen. Underneath the color wheel, you’ll find sliders for hue, saturation, and the amount of black you want in your color. I also appreciated the app’s color selector, which has several color swatches and a Painter-style color wheel with a saturation diamond in the middle for choosing virtually any color imaginable. Of course, there’s an eraser brush and a paint bucket tool for filling the entire canvas in one tap. There’s even a smudge brush that will smear previous strokes-a nice tool for blending your paintings. You can also set the minimum/maximum radius and opacity so the brush stroke will taper or fade out at the end of a stroke. Each brush can be customized by adjusting its radius, opacity, feathering, and spacing. The cost is… get this… $7.99 USD.Sketchbook Pro probably has the most powerful brush engine in the App Store, with 60 different brushes ranging from pencil, soft round, and stippling to square, airbrush, and splatter you can even opt for several symbols like tree leaves or flowers. It can know be viewed in the App store (iTunes). Your pick?ĭetails came out on the the Sketchbook Pro app. I’ll leave it at that, except to say, if I had my choice between the two right now… I’d go with an iPad, Sketchbook Pro and a handful of stylus. Of course, this takes direct aim at other products like Wacom, who still require electrical connections and CPU’s for their tablets. Then, I think about being out a clients business, taking a photo with my iPhone, bringing it into Sketchbook Pro on my iPad and making the magic happen right there. I think about starting up Photoshop on my home computer, importing a photo from my camera and then working on it there at the desk. Simply put, it’s a device that changes the way I use a program, start using new programs and stop using others. What’s different? Well, for one thing it’s not a ‘computer’ you start up to start up another program to open a file.
Darn right, I’ve never choked on any sort of tablet news in the past, because frankly, I could have cared less. For no other reason than I start choking at it’s potential. I’ve stayed away from talking about the iPad.
