Opt out of iAds, but not really

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

When Steve Jobs first announced iAds for all iOS 4 devices, I wanted nothing to do with them, and now, a month or two later, I feel the exact same way. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for supporting developers, but I don’t want ads on my phone, it’s as simple as that. Unfortunately, one way

6 Drawing Apps to Make Art on the iPad

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Someone either much wiser or just much snottier than me once said, “Painting is easy. Art is hard.” These apps can get you painting on your iPad. Is it art? It depends who you ask – just don’t ask that guy. Brushes – iPad edition ($7.99. Steve Sprang) I know, I know, “stop right there.” For years, Brushes has been the gold standard of painting apps for the iPhone, and the iPad edition was re-engineered to take advantage of the new platform. Work in up to 6 layers, and blend them in various modes. Select from a full desktop-worthy color picker, save your favorites as swatches, and undo and redo to your heart’s content. The kicker: a replay of every brushstroke, in-app. That means you can work on a smallish file on your iPad, and replay the work you did on a higher-resolution file on your desktop computer. No wonder national magazine covers have been painted with this app. (Also, read our  Brushes for iPhone review.) Layers – Pro Edition for iPad ($5.99, J. Benjamin Gotow) Like Brushes, Layers allows playback of your painting, but only to “watch it come to life.” Its canvas is limited to two sizes, neither larger than one megapixel (1028 x 1028.) But within these limitations, Layers packs a wallop. Up to five layers with adjustable, fifteen customizable brushes, intuitive pinch-and-spread pan/zoom, and minimal lag time make Layers perfect for the digital painter that isn’t wedded to the print medium at the end of the line. Compare paintings with a Layers community, comment, and receive feedback.
