Artist Eye is the "must-have" utility app for all artists. Available for iOS and Android, this hugely useful app gives you:
- Live camera view in Color, Mono, 3-Value (dark, mid-tone, light), Notan (dark and light) and Negative view
- Mirror and/or invert the live camera image
- Zoom in/out
- Control Exposure (brightness) and Contrast
- Set Focal point
- Control White Balance (temperature and tint on Apple, presets on Android)
- Save the resulting image
- Works with the back- and the front-facing camera
- Add a blur to Color and Mono
- Smooth the shapes created in 3-Value and Notan
- Works with both saved images and live camera view
And now there are additional "Pro" features that are unlocked by subscribing to the app:
- Overlay Mode - see the camera view through your reference image, for tracing, checking and refining your work.
- Camera Settings - choose resolution and lens
- Color Settings - apply Heat Seeker and Smart Sat to the live camera and loaded images. Heat Seeker intensifies warm-cool color shifts, and Smart Sat adjusts color intensity taking value into consideration.
This video shows the Pro features.
First seven days are free, and then it's a low monthly fee that you can cancel at any time.
To unlock the Pro features, you can either make a one-off payment, or pay a tiny monthly fee - which you can cancel at any time, plus if you decide to pay monthly, you get the first seven days for free, so you can try it out for yourself, risk free!
But you don't have to subscribe to the app - the majority of Artist Eye is free! You only need to pay if you want to use the Pro features.
Everything that was in version 3.x is all there for free. For instance, here's a quick demo of how the 3-Value view works:
I genuinely use this app myself all the time. I wouldn't be without it.
But don't just take my word for it (these reviews are from when the app was called CamFlip+):
"The latest version of CamFlip+ is superb……very easy to use and very useful.
