Have you heart about french solutions ? : - HORUS - an app developped for condition report https://horus-conditionreport.com/en/ <https://horus-conditionreport.com/en/>
- ARTREPORT which is now integrated to the AA Partners database [email protected] <http://www.artreport.fr/en/> I had very good experience of both of them. Horus generates pdf files. Art report generates pdf files as well as updated database records.

We first create a document format either on the device itself or imported, this is saved and used as a background for future documentation. Files can be as many number of pages we wish with many photographs added either uploaded or taken with the device camera, resized, cropped, positioned and annotated within the document as desired. While kept within the S-Note file format the document can be edited, objects signed in and out, treatment progress noted. Once complete the document can be extracted and shared as a PDF or JPEG by email, through Google drive or hard line download. It is far from perfect the main problems being the compression of image quality within the S-note software and on conversion to PDF, also on printing out the screen size is slightly wider than the proportions of our standard A4 sheets, leading to shrinkage in the printed document. But balanced by the speed especially of incoming exhibition loan reports (which remain digital generally) makes the tablet an indispensable tool for our departments. Another issue to be aware of, manufacturers can without notice change their app software. two years ago when we bought new tablets for the department we were dismayed to see that the S-Note app had been "dumbed" down so much by Samsung to be almost unusable. My colleague had to search and install for an older version of S-Note app for the tablets, even so we lost some of the functions due to compatibility issues. Hopefully we still have a couple more years of use in the current devices before we need to deal with these issues again, no app lasts forever unfortunately. ------------------------------ Neill McManus Paper Conservator Tel Aviv Museum of Art Tel Aviv +972-0524328041 ------------------------------ 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=9ffbd29f-09a5-4066-a4fd-e915c3be8a86&MID=9443&MDATE=756%253e46547%253c&UserKey=d16eaa87-0f69-494b-9f2f-303dbc1222e1&sKey=fab9aa4f27a04c5d876e Reply to Discussion : https://community.culturalheritage.org/eGroups/PostReply/?GroupId=481&MID=9443&MDATE=756%253e46547%253c&UserKey=d16eaa87-0f69-494b-9f2f-303dbc1222e1&sKey=fab9aa4f27a04c5d876e You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
