RAVE REVIEWS FOR ARTIST'S TOUCH:

• TopTenREVIEWS.com: Top Ten Photography App
• 148apps.com: "Feeling artistic? [Artist's Touch] can help you work on becoming the digital equivalent of Van Gogh. Though you’ll still never hear the end of it about all that money dad spent on art school."
• NewLaunches.com: If you thought that the iSteam App was cool, wait until you see the new Artist's Touch app.

How It Works:
Step 1: Select your favorite photo.
• Your child
• Pets
• Sports highlights
• Sunsets
• Anything!
Seconds later your photo fades into a "blueprint" which acts as a magic guide as you paint.
Step 2: Select your paint media:
• Oil Paint
• Watercolor
• Charcoal
• Chalk
• Pastel
• Pencil
• Airbrush
• Pen and Ink
• Scratch Board
Make your painting look even more realistic with these paper textures:
• Canvas
• Brick
• Cracked Paint
• Rough Paper
• Mosaic
• Stone
Step 3: Painting Technique
Paint using a simple but important technique: start with a large brush size to quickly fill in. Your painting will form in a very abstract way. Then switch to smaller and smaller brush sizes and paint over areas that you want more details revealed like faces, people, objects. You see the "magic" happen in front of your eyes as an abstract painting forms into a masterpiece in just a few minutes.
Save your painting to your photo gallery, email it to your friends, or sync your it with your computer to print.
High-Resolution:
Artist's Touch saves images at a resolution high enough for 8x10 prints. You can also create printed greeting cards by using our online service at www.artamata.com

Customer Reviews
Slow and laggy
I want to like this but it runs really sloppy on OS4. If Epic Citadel can run like liquid on my phone then a simple paint app should be able to as well. Optimize it and it gets 5 stars. Cheers.
Hard to use.
This app is incredibly hard to use and the only thing I know HOW to use -- the pencil sketch -- looks awfully ugly. Definitely not worth it. Save your money. I'd like my $4.99 back now!
Smudge Mania
Nothing but nothing like you see in the samples! I thought it was a good idea and when it turned out to be a mess I looked at the tutorial. OMG just look at THAT low res mess. The devs have no clue and I fell for it.
Listen, if you think this might be a good app, think again. I believe the positive reviews are fake. Sad.
This was wasted, even if you pay $1.
I learned my $5 lesson and feel the devs stole it.
Apple needs a 30 min refund Policy to stop these scams.
UPDATE
Sine I paid good money for this I really tried to make it work at least somewhat. Let me be clear: This buggy app is a POS. If it was free I would just delete it.
Apple shares some blame here - they make you buy the stuff without being able to check it out properly. Once you have paid you lost the game. The goal here is to sell you this app, not to sell a good product.
