PhotoArtist for iPhone

If you ever dreamed of becoming an illustrator until you actually tried putting pen or brush to paper, PhotoArtist ($1.99 via the iTunes store) is your consolation prize. This $1.99 (direct) iPhone app will turn your photos into images resembling bold and beautiful stylized drawings, paintings, or illustrations in various fine-art and commercial styles. I found that, at their best, PhotoArtist’s effects were among the most appealing produced by the iPhone apps I’ve examined. What’s more, you can easily share your creations with other iPhone users free via the Big Canvas PhotoShare site. But if you want to print the images—particularly if you want to use them as artwork—you may be disappointed. Their resolution is low—barely that of the iPhone screen itself.

PhotoArtist’s integration with the Big Canvas PhotoShare site (which was built especially to host iPhone photos) distinguishes it from other iPhone photo editors. Anyone can upload images to the site, but to register, manage your content, and view other people’s work, you need to install the free Big Canvas PhotoShare app. Other photo-sharing sites offer similar iPhone software for uploading and managing images; those apps include Photobucket from the site of the same name, and my favorite, Phanfare’s Photon. You’ll also find third-party solutions that let you upload photos to Flickr, Picasa, and the like.
