Leave a Review Camera Lucida™
The original and BEST app of its kind!
The app functions extremely well and has a ton of features that other apps of its kind are lacking. But possibly the best feature is the time and dedication the developer puts into ensuring the user experience is positive. There is also a Facebook group where users can learn from and support one another, and where the developer has a consistent presence, listening to user feedback and incorporating it into updates. You will not be disappointed by this app. It is worth every penny!Show lesschantel beaucoup
Best camera lucida app on the market
I have explored different camera lucida tools over the years. I downloaded ALL of the various apps and most are very basic or have ridiculous app purchase requirements to make them functional. This application, Camera Lucida, is a solid product and has a robust toolset that is great for new and experienced artists. No fancy tools or add-ons needed to get amazing results. This is more than a basic tracing app. Use the built in tools. I use the levelize and posterize filters to quickly develop a study. The tutorials and social media updates are great as well and the developer is very responsive to requests for new features. Dump the rest and download this awesome product. This is the only camera lucida app you will ever need.Show lessStephfour
The original and the best!
There are other copycat apps out there, but this is the original (based of course on the ancient camera lucida technique of reflection)!
I don’t have a natural talent for drawing. This is a great tool regardless of your skill level. Definitely worth the price! The app’s creator is accessible for feedback and questions. Definitely my go-to app for drawing. Don’t be fooled by competitors with similar names!Show lessnettysyke
This is top notch
Not only for the app itself, but really stellar support from the developer personally. He’s always listening to his users, and the group he has on FB is a gold mine of information and help. This is the app you want, the original, not the copycats who came after. I’m a professional artist, I use this to speed up the transfer of my sketches to my final studio work. But that is only one of the many ways people use it. Worth every pennyShow lesscolleencaub
Valuable tool for any artist .
This app does so much more than help you trace a picture . There is a tool kit that even helps you see values .
Peter , the developer will personally answer any questions you have . There are copy cat apps appearing trying to ride on his success . One is called Camera Lucida pro ( definitely not ) and the other Camera Lucinda , come on copycats at least use your own name .
This app is so superior !Show lessSdaleAk
Magic!
Camera Lucida is a marvelous tool. It helps with layout and sizing of your picture, but so much more. Peter has made wonderful filters to give you interesting looks, but all are under the artist’s control. On top of the work he has already put into developing the app, he continues to refine it, and is in easy communication with users if they have questions or problems. A very affordable tool for your art studio that will save you time and aggravation. Two thumbs up! Five stars!Show lessknitsandwich
Amazing app and support!
This is the BEST app for drawing. There are so many different settings to choose from. It’s easy to understand and in my opinion, the best out there. The customer support is better than any other app I’ve ever tried. Pete answers questions on how FB page and quickly and easily explains things. He is constantly making the app a little better and this new 12.0 version is just amazing. I will continue sharing this app in the watercolor communities on FB as it is the best app.Show lessErin1025
Excellent drawing tool
I can highly recommend this app as a great time saver for artists and also for those who want to improve their drawing skills. It’s very easy to learn and the developer provides many useful video tutorials. The app has been very well designed and is excellent value for money. I am a very pleased owner.
I have been using this now for several months and the developer has added even more improvements. It’s absolutely faultless and very easy on the eyes. An excellent app.Show lesshillwakinggirl
Hand holding support
While there are other tracing apps this one is more like a supportive large family of artists keen to share their experience and knowledge. Peter is still creatively excited and engaged with his app and wants users to have the best possible experience. He will always provide a comprehensive answer to any query. ThanksShow lessdonyaski
Great Tool
I decided to learn watercolor painting but have no skills for drawing. Choosing my own photos to work from I was spending way to much time trying to make an accurate light sketch. The sketch is minimal but so important to perspective in the composition. I was reading about the camera Lucida when I found this app for my iPad. I figured out a way to use it and am so disappointed I had only grabbed scratch paper. My line drawing took very little time and the very quick painting atop that drawing was terrific! This takes so much pressure off and allows me the pleasure of experimenting with the paint and it’s effects without the very hard and tedious task of making an accurate sketch. Thanks for coming up with this app! It will take a little practice getting used to how to set up for accurate size overlay. I do need a stand but so far I have managed. Patty
Ps. I despise apps with “in app purchase” so I appreciate the way you marketed this. Reviews were positive and you were clear about it takes a little getting used to. But that is the case with all the camera Lucida options. You are drawing without looking at the paper. Kind of weird but great results.Show lessPatty99pilot
