Lightbox Trace User Reviews

Exactly what I needed

Itโ€™s a perfect application, I am a digital artist and needed to copy some of my works to the paper, this app helps me to block the screen so I could put a paper on top of my iPad, so handy and free app!

Bright but doesnโ€™t lock properly

The app constantly unlocks itself and you have to stop and reposition everything once you have got the Lightbox set up again. Bit pointless, then.

Didn't do wot it promised..just filtered image like most filters do

Don't see the point of taking a pic and converting it into a blank white screen??

AMAZING LOCK MODE TOO

Perfect for what I need.

Iโ€™m a more traditional pencil and paper artist, as such I find it difficult to trace inspirations from online to my paper. With the photo import feature Iโ€™m Abel to layer a piece of paper onto my tablet to trace. Not only that but upon further look there is a photo locking button that prevents the photo from moving around.
This is amazing for what I personally need.

Worked exactly as I needed it to!

I just needed a simple app to let me size a photo and lock it on place so the screen wouldnโ€™t constantly respond to my hand as I am tracing. This does exactly that. Thanks so much.

Not bright enough

I got this as a temporary solution for my regular Artograph light box when my bulb died and while Iโ€™m waiting for a replacement. The light is barely bright enough to see through my Bristol board which the light box was easily able to do.

Great

Excellent simple lightbox for artist or others who need to trace items. Itโ€™s intuitive and lets you grab an item from your files clip them to the lightbox and then you can trace them. Unlike when you try to trace from your photos the app allows you to resize and hold the pic in place so it does not jump around if your hand touches the screen. There is one issue - there is a lock feature so your picture does not slide around. This is a great feature. But once you engage the lock you have to close the app to go back to blank screen. It would be great to not have to leave the app and just move on to the next project.

Works in a pinch

If you donโ€™t have 60 dollars to spend on a proper light table that you feel like you might rarely have a use for, this works in a pinch. I got it for a project for a course. I originally tried to use a white image from Google and it kept graying out and everything kept shifting when i drew. This app can lock a white screen and itโ€™s less frustrating if you can get past the fact that youโ€™re drawing on your iPad ๐Ÿ’”
