    this was a great app before version 10, now it just got a lot better. I recommend spending some time experimenting, checking out the YouTube videos. It’s well worth the investment in time to get the results you want.

    Thanks, Mark! I appreciate the kind words and support. While I'd like to take all the credit, some of the best ideas come from users like yourself!
  • Can I give it an A Plus Plus Plus Review!

    Can I give this app a seven star review ?!

    I have been only using this for a few minutes but I already know that I have found a secret treasure!
    Look, I CAN and DO draw and paint using perspective and all the tools of an artist. But I live an extremely busy life and it’s hard to get to all that. So in the past I have had drawing and painting instruction. I have spent lots of money on drawing products to get me up and going such as a Wacom Tablet, All the Corel products, Illustrator, etc. Those products were so incredibly hard to use that I found myself back to drawing/painting on paper!
    I must say that there are many Apps which have really revolutionized my life and that this app would have to be near the very top ten most useful and productive apps That I have ever used.
    I will post this app on my Facebook and stuff to get the word out but I really think you should advertise more because people like me NEED this product.
    GOOD JOB!

  • Amazing App

    Have only been using this app for a few days but already I’m so glad I found it! I’m a scratch artist and this is going to be a most welcome tool. Scratch board is Masonite covered in white clay then coated in black ink leaving a matt finish, so transferring a drawing onto this surface can be quite messy. I’ve coated my sketch on the back of the paper with white charcoal which leaves specks on the black surface. I’ve also used white Saral transfer paper which leaves marks where you’ve rested your hand. With this app I can draw the image directly onto the board, saving so much time and mess. Thank you so much for producing such a valuable tool.

    WOW, WOW!!!!! What a fantastic app!!! This app is SO EASY to get started with! I needed to decorate around 60 cookies in a very short turnaround time with different subject matter for each set of cookies, yes, I was stressing, going thru clipart and then trying to size each piece to the size of my cookies...OH MY GOODNESS, CRAZY!!!! I remembered a video about Camera Lucida another cookie artist had made and quickly watched...The rest is as they say, history, It was SO SIMPLE to work with this app I got ALL artwork completed QUICK and cookies done....THANK YOU CAMERA LUCIDA developer, can’t wait to do more fantastic cookies.

  • Pretty average

    Definitely not worth $10.99. If I could get my money back I would.

  • It is my turn

    I just joined peters Camera Lucinda. Computer
    technology is hard for me. I was and older introduction to computers and if it was not for people like Peter and his knowledge to teach us and share his special techniques I would have to close the book on my future to learn. Stop crushing my chances to move forward. I am waaaaay to old to go back to school or be chosen for a big money making job. You one star people should be tested. Do not make the mistake to put yourself out there.

  • Great app for artists!

    I bought this app as a Christmas present for my husband. The app is phenomenal! It allows him to line up the picture he wants to draw from, and lets him get the general placement of what he is drawing, such as the eyes and the shape of the head. We are older, and I must admit, it was a bit confusing at the very first. However, I reached out to the Camera Lucida community I follow on FaceBook, and received the help I needed. Also, the apps developer built in a help section right into the app. It even has the e-mail address of the developer himself. I e-mailed him and he got right back with me. His tips were exactly what we needed to use the app to obtain the desired results. Couldn’t be happier with the app and with their customer service! If you can’t figure out the app, reach out for guidance instead of leaving a negative review.

  • Really great app!

    This app is incredibly useful for anyone working in traditional media, but using new tools to assist. I love how easy it is to quickly lay out all my proportions and know everything is correct. Being able to use the front camera and correct for any perspective shift has been very helpful, allowing me to more easily work on larger pieces comfortably.

  • WOW!! This app rocks! Too cool!

    OMG! This app is just what I wanted. I have been using a clunky lightbox to trace art onto my drawing surfaces and it just wasn’t practical for the large size art I want to create, 22”x30” for example. This app makes doing huge art easy and effortless. The developer, Pete, was super helpful in walking me through how to mirror my iPad to my flatscreen and now I am making large art with intricate detail like a master! Thanks Pete for this amazing app and the affordable price. When you release an IPO for this app, I want to invest! Thanks!

  • Fantastic App

    I have been using this app for a few months now and it is wonderful. The ability to use it to make sure perspective is correct and to get things done that took hours before. I cannot say enough good about this app and look forward to any and all updates that maybe in the future that will make it even better. (Which will be hard to do given how awesome it is now.)
