Amazing!

I have to admit that as a professional designer, artist, and then manager of a graphic design team, I was a slow and reluctant convert to digital art creation. However I have tracked the steady improvements in tools, workflows, resolution, and output quality. In recent years I have sampled many of the digital art and photo transformation apps offered through the App Store, and I must say this one really delivers. The AI engine behind this gem assists the artist to bring into reality what the creative mind envisions and then nudge it (through the tools provided) into masterpieces worth framing. Kudos to the app team for delivering a stellar addition to my toolbox! Truly worth the subscription.

AI Impressionist Painter

Best bang for my buck…have several painting apps - this is my favorite! Easy to learn and use!
DCDS Canning

Exceptional App

I have utilized several artistic applications to turn my photography into art forms....none have been as stimulating as this one!!
I am against AI in the sense that it should never take the place of composing and taking your own photos, but using AI Impressionist Painter to make beautiful, artistic compositions is a means to make your own work a piece of art!
So much fun to see how your own photo morphs into something interesting and stimulating!

Do not fall for this

E mail to this outfit not deliverable they make you believe you are getting five ap bundle.
The three day free hangs and tells you you exceeded number of tries.
They string you to make the 39.99 fee.
I called Apple for a refund and waiting now.
Two e mails I sent came back undeliverable.
