Out of curiosity, what's the point of doing this on the phone?
- mbenjaminsmith 16y agoI find it useful for two things: I use it for digitizing sketches when I'm out of the house (I use my iPhone more than a laptop when I'm out). Tracing is an inexact (lossy) process so I appreciate the tight feedback loop of drawing/tracing. I use it at home too (instead of Live Trace) since it handles photos better. Live Trace really expects even lighting to get usable results (scanner is the easiest way) whereas I've designed this specifically to handle photos from the iPhone's camera. I don't have (or want) a scanner so the photograph->sync->place->trace->repeat process I was going through with Illustrator got a bit tedious. That's not where the idea of the app came from but what I had in mind when I designed it.
