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. ------------------------------ Justin Johnson Senior Conservator University of Washington Libraries Seattle WA (206) 616-5842 ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 10-23-2019 11:03 From: Alejandra Mamonde 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. ------------------------------ Alejandra Mamonde Conservator - Inorganic Materials Rijksmuseum van Oudheden Leiden ------------------------------ Reply to Sender : https://community.culturalheritage.org/eGroups/PostReply/?GroupId=481&SenderKey=c7868124-8ae7-4d09-a6c9-75d86e001dc7&MID=9424&MDATE=756%253e46547%253a&UserKey=d16eaa87-0f69-494b-9f2f-303dbc1222e1&sKey=fab9aa4f27a04c5d876e Reply to Discussion : https://community.culturalheritage.org/eGroups/PostReply/?GroupId=481&MID=9424&MDATE=756%253e46547%253a&UserKey=d16eaa87-0f69-494b-9f2f-303dbc1222e1&sKey=fab9aa4f27a04c5d876e You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
