## Camera Lucida™ Description
Draw Like a Pro with Camera Lucida™: AR Drawing

One-Time Purchase: No subscriptions! Buy it once and use on your devices.

Enhance Your Art Skills: Whether you're sketching with a pencil or painting with a brush, Camera Lucida™ helps you become a better artist.

Unmatched Functionality: With 12+ years of development, Camera Lucida™ offers features that no competitor can match. Create stunning physical art using your iPhone or iPad's camera. Simply point your device at your drawing surface, and watch the screen to see your reference image superimposed over your work. It's more versatile than a light table, better than a projector, and easier to use than a traditional Camera Lucida™.

How It Works: Place your iPhone or iPad between your eyes and your drawing surface. The app shows a virtual image on your screen, guiding your hand as you draw. This clever method makes it easy and fun to create detailed art.

Top Features:
	•	Buy it once for lifetime use.
	•	Advanced Image Filters: See with an artist's eye.
	•	Zoom in Lock: For ultra detailed drawing.
	•	Session Save & Restore: Automatically realign your camera, sketch, and reference image.
	•	Full Color Palette Control: Use your own paints, markers, and more.
	•	Camera Adjustments: Use your device camera and adjust for different setups manually or with an in-app purchase to auto-adjust.
	•	Time-Lapsed Recordings: Share your drawing process on social media.
	•	Advanced Tools: Vertical split screen sliders, timed image fading, and more.
	•	Video Tutorials: Watch tutorials within the app or on YouTube.
	•	Comprehensive User Manual: Accessible from within the app.
	•	Reliable Customer Support: Plus, an active user community for inspiration.
	•	External USB Camera Support: For USB-C equipped iPads running iOS 17.

Easy Setup: Secure your iPhone or iPad above your drawing surface using common household items like a stack of books or a vase. Tutorials are included to help you get started.

## Camera Lucida™ Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Best app ever"
I’m having so much fun tracing and painting. Its  fantastic.
-- Hblady, 2024-11-19

### ***** "Incredible app"
Wonderful, original app Camera Lucida app
The best tool ever created to help draw
The updates, the help from Peter the creator of this app is unparalleled 
I love it
-- Nadketzo, 2023-11-13

### ***** "Fabulous app with great support"
This app is frequently updated by the developer and has a Facebook group  which is extremely helpful.
-- Bonj16, 2023-08-18

### ***** "Love this app"
I started painting everyday a year and a half ago, I was really struggling getting likenesses, then I found camera Lucida ! What a game changer. Thanks for this awesome app, I love the constant improvements, highly recommend!
-- 4smurfy, 2022-08-03

### ***** "SO handy!"
I have tried lots of apps and techniques but this is the best. I still have problems with getting the right sized image ie..not having to hold it way up with one hand and trying to trace with the other but I think that is me. Still learning how to negotiate the usability and mastery. I know I can zoom in and out but.. still can’t get the image large enough on my paper unless the camera is held WAY up.
-- moonmask2, 2021-11-09

### ***** "Thank you"
Can’t thank you enough for helping me find my inner artist. Without this app I got frustrated and gave up. Now with my proportions correct I am amazing myself with what I can do. Thank you, thank you, thank you
-- greenybrown2, 2021-08-28

### ***** "Totally cool, thank you for your effort, greatly appreciated"
Works well and as promised and demonstrated
(just need to change to a table with no movements, lol)
Your tutorials are superb and very helpful
I am using various applications currently with the mirror, as i wait for the “bed stand”
Since i am of a certain age, when i forget, i can just rewatch tutorials
Really enjoying it, thank you again
-- madim11, 2020-05-08

### ***** "brilliant"
this was a great app before version 10, now it just got a lot better. I recommend spending some time experimenting, checking out the YouTube videos. It’s well worth the investment in time to get the results you want.
-- marksinisamegastar, 2019-11-24

### **--- "Pretty average"
Definitely not worth $10.99. If I could get my money back I would.
-- Bighead85, 2019-03-26

### ***** "Very Useful Tool"
I found several other apps that work like this, but this is the best. For comfort I use it with an iPad angled at 45 deg,  as with my drawing surface. Test that the two are aligned correctly, otherwise the drawing will be distorted. Put a square shape on to drawing surface and check it aligns with the grid on the app. Once you develop good eye-to-hand co-ordination, it feels quite natural. It is brilliant for transposing shapes accurately. My advice to anyone just developing as an artist is to know when to switch the app off and finish/refine your drawing/painting looking directly at it.
-- mcbes, 2017-03-06

### ***** "Fantastic!"
5 stars because the app was easy to use. It does exactly as it states and made drawing on my wall a breeze. I bought this to do stencil drawing on cookies and cakes, this will make things so much easier for me. Highly recommend.
-- Create nickname67, 2015-11-09

### ***** "AMAZING!!"
I use this app for cookie decorating, I've been able to achieve so many amazing results that otherwise would have been very difficult. It's really easy to use once you get used to it. It has many options eg mirror image that help out with your end result. I've need customer help and the gentleman that created the app was so quick to respond and answer my question. As I mentioned in the title...AMAZING. get it, you won't regret it..
-- DRSSG, 2015-03-29

### *---- "Bad app"
This app is not worth buying don't waste your money
-- Batty123,., 2014-11-06

### ***** "I just love this app"
Best app I purchase !!! Highly recommend. 
X
-- Milourinha, 2014-10-19

### ***** "Superb aid to drawing"
I have no idea what the other reviewer is talking about. This app is a fantastic way to learn to draw, and for someone that thinks they can't draw, it will enable you to achieve proportion and foreshortening correctly; the most difficult things to do when learning. This is a modern take on the way some of the great masters worked, and is the cheapest and easiest way to have a camera lucida in your pocket, if not the only way.
I cannot recommend this app enough.
-- juliancohen, 2013-05-12

### ***** "Useless"
Complete waste of money
-- peterseaford, 2013-03-03
