There are a multitude of photo editing apps available for your iDevices, which enable you to adjust your images in a myriad of ways from delicate touching-up to heavy-handed filters. When a newcomer claims to "convert your digital photos in to [an] art sketch", you know it's going to concentrate on the more heavy-handed end of the spectrum. And Art Photo Sketch HD doesn't disappoint in that respect. There is a decent variety of effects to choose from, including watercolour, mosaic, bluebear, sketch art, and pop art. You can also select from several canvas types, from lined paper to ancient stationery.
REVIEW: Art Photo Sketch app for iPad
Art Photo Sketch lets you turn your photographs into an artistic sketch. But is it any good? We take it for a test run...
Our Verdict
A cheap-feeling photo editing experience that adds little to what you can already do with the better (and often free) effects apps. But it is only version 1.0, so there's plenty of scope for improvement...
For
- Decent selection of effects
- Ability to fine-tune filters
Against
- Cheap-feeling
- Annoying skeuomorphism
- Rubbish frames
- Not free
