GHOSTLINE

I think waste

I have nothing but good things to say about this app. This is my go to for quickly making excellent stencils. Figured I’d just try the free trial and bounce, but had to pay for it after I realized there’s no better app for the job. Hands down the best purchase I’ve made for tattooing prep work. Thanks for the great app!

It works like every other line work/stencil app. You lose half the detail, nothing makes any sense. I want an app that works so badly, but nothing will ever replace doing stencils by hand.

There's a hidden monthly subscription as soon as you open the app and there's no way to get past the screen unless you pay

Horrible only lets you choose from 3 options and each doesn’t let you thin or stencil an outline only makes the image color light or dark waste of money

It does what it says, but I would love to know why this app utilizes a subscription model? Does it provide a myriad of new features every month or every year? Does it use heavy bandwidth for the developers? Did it cost millions in capitol to create this app so they have to recoup the costs in perpetuity? A subscription model makes sense for something like the Adobe Suite, where you are literally bombarded with new features and updates every month. In this case, it is a simple as greed. Again it is a good app, but you don’t have to choose a subscription model for the sake of siphoning money from people every month/year for an app that simply creates stencils. Other apps provide this at a fraction or the cost for a one time cost. This is not a comprehensive editing suite. Currently this app’s subscription is set at $6/month or $60/year. Compare this to Adobe Express, which gives you Photoshop Express and Adobe Firefly, costing $10/month. We all enjoy making money, but please be reasonable.

I have a studio in downtown HB at Pacific City, and this is my go to stencil app, saves time!

Unfortunately the subscription service has made my mind up for me. Procreate isn’t perfect, but it’s worth penny. If the charge were the flat 50-60$ I’d definitely buy the program, but the pay to play platform and I disagree on a fundamental level. I’m passing on this because of the greedy nature of the marketing. Had to kick photoshop to the curb for the same reason. I’ll be back when this becomes reasonable.

Kind of a weird type of false advertising. So it’s free to download so you think you lucked up just to get to the splash page and hit with a paywall

I’ve been using Ghostline since the launch and I can’t tell you how many times this app has saved me time, work, and energy. The filter used for this stencil process is definitely unique and super efficient. I’ve been using photoshop/illustrator/procreate to achieve a similar effect but this is so fast and it’s perfect every time. This is incredibly useful for more realistic style tattooing but can also be used for simple designs… simply run it through Ghostline after you’ve lost all your resolution in procreate from resizing. Oversize print option has been a life saver working as a guest artist when you don’t have all your tools and comfort of working at home base. Client wants to change there design? No problem, Ghostline. Can’t print oversize with procreate off iPad? Ghostline. Resize? Ghostline.
