The photo-to-sketch app that stands out from the rest! SketchMee analyses, interprets and redraws your photo from scratch, instead of the simple edge filtering other apps do. New York Times sums it up: "This app turns your photos into pencil sketches of remarkable quality." Long time feature under "Staff Favorites / Impress Your Friends" in the US App Store. Just pick an image from your photo library, and watch it being sketched into a beautiful piece of art. Have endless fun playing around with settings, exploring a vast world of art possibilities. Extremely easy to use. A handful of simple but powerful controls make you the artist in charge, enabling a wide range of different sketch art styles. Unparalleled art quality. Not even desktop computer programs come close. Save your creations in 4K resolution. Zoom as deep as you like into the finished sketches to inspect the strokes. Your art will appear perfectly sharp at any zoom level. This is because sketches are built using vector curves, not from blocky pixel data.

*** Automatic Shots Align Technology makes it super easy to take levitation photos *** Best-selling and first ever levitation photography app just become even better with the new 6.0 update with better user community support. Levitagram has been featured in many news media and review sites, include "NextWeb", "CNet", "MakeUseOf", "Mac World", "AppAdvise", "TechHive" ... It was named as one of the "Best iOS App ever launched" by TheNextWeb. Levitagram is the original and most advanced levitation photo editor in the App Store. It has a few **unique** and important features that none of other followers can provide: == Automatic Photo Alignment == Levitagram has a unique automatic photo alignment algorithm so that you can just take the photos casually by hand without a tripod. Other apps require you either place phone on tripod or manually align(which is very hard and not usable), otherwise the result may look very fake. == Color matching between shots == Only Levitagram allows automatically or manually adjust the color, brightness, white balance, exposure etc between two different shots. Without this feature the result often looks very fake unless you have really nice light settings. == Flexible brush settings == Levitagram uses a soft brush bigger than your fingertip without sacrificing performance, so that you can see what you are doing to make a precise edit. Levitagram is the only app support flexible brush shape settings to help you make pixel perfect levitation photos. Levitagram lets you create professional looking levitation photos in a snap! All you need is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. No professional cameras, computer or Photoshop skills required. From the latest 5.0 update, Levitagram not only let you shot and share amazing levitation photos, but also provides a community for levitation photography fans to share, discover and get inspired from each other.
