Alejandra, 

Ill second the earlier suggestion of investing in Procreate.   There are other 
more powerful options of course (Affinity), but Procreate has a much more 
straight forward design and will do exactly what you want and will integrate 
very well with other documentation software.  It can export to Adobe formats as 
well as JPEG, TIFF and Web formats.  With the Apple Pencil its a great set of 
tools.  

Ill also add as a suggestion to anyone using an Ipad.  Get a "paperlike" screen 
protector.   Not necessarily for protecting the screen, but for writing or 
drawing on the screen.  The texture of this product completely eliminates the 
awkward 'writing on glass with plastic' feel and for me, was a game-changer.   
It gives the pencil a bit of tooth and resistance will improve the experience 
completely.   Small investment, big reward.

Subject: Apps for photo editing/sketching - Digital Conservation Reports

Dear ConsDistList subscribers,

I would like to ask you about your experiences with digital photo editing, 
sketching and drawing. I am conservator at the National Museum of Antiquities 
in the Netherlands, and for our next touring exhibition we would like to 
implement the use of iPads and other digital tools for making our condition 
reports. I am now looking into different apps for photo editing, or better 
said, photo sketching and drawing. I am looking for an app that allows us to 
pinpoint those details in the photos that we want to double-check while doing 
condition check on each venue. I have tried some of them but I have the feeling 
that I am looking in an endless sea of possibilities and I am not finding what 
I want.
The photo editing apps like Snapseed are not adequate since we actually need to 
do any editing, but rather write and draw on them. I've tried some sketching 
apps, but I most of them lack a more simple range of fill-in patterns, with 
simple geometric patters in b/w. I don't think using pink hearts and kittens' 
paws is the best idea...

Have you found yourself in such a quest? Any positive (and negative) 
recommendations? It would mean a lot of help to reduce the list of apps to 
check out at list a bit.

Thank you all in advance.
