Application très sympa.
Mais les choix de feuille sur iPhone 11 ne sont pas possibles, car la touche est trop basse.

Pdf save

I don’t understand why I cannot use this to save my file in pdf any more. I paid $4 to purchase the pdf files save function last year April but it doesn’t allow me to save my sketch in pdf any more. I think I will claim this through Apple support.

FAQ

What does SketchMee do?

SketchMee transforms your photos into detailed pencil sketches. Unlike other apps that use simple edge filtering, it analyzes and redraws your image from scratch, creating unique artistic interpretations.

How does the app create sketches?

The app uses advanced analysis to interpret your photo and redraws it using vector curves. This method ensures that your sketches are perfectly sharp at any zoom level and are not based on blocky pixel data.

Can I customize the sketch style?

Yes, the app offers a handful of simple yet powerful controls that allow you to act as the artist. You can explore a vast world of art possibilities and achieve a wide range of different sketch art styles.

What resolution can I save my sketches in?

You can save your artistic creations in 4K resolution. This high resolution allows you to zoom deeply into the finished sketches to inspect the fine details and strokes with exceptional clarity.

Is SketchMee suitable for professional artists?

While designed for ease of use, the app's unparalleled art quality and vector-based output make it a powerful tool. The New York Times has praised its remarkable quality, suggesting it appeals to those seeking high-caliber sketch effects.
