Adobe PaintCan<br />
This app is a Labs effort, meaning it hasn’t officially been released.<br />
You wouldn’t know it to use it, though; PaintCan works great on both<br />
the iPad and iPhone. Personally, I prefer it on the phone, as the UI is<br />
more simplified, and I enjoy working with mobile captures to dramatically<br />
change their look. My first tip for success here is: Choose a solid<br />
photo to start with, as the composition needs to work for it to become a<br />
good painting. Next, I suggest first running it through Lightroom Mobile<br />
to amplify the Clarity (midtone contrast) and Vibrance. From here, the<br />
steps are simple:<br />
STEP ONE: Work the tools left to right,<br />
zooming in for detail as you go. I often finish<br />
with a broad brush around the edges.<br />
I rarely use the last two brushes.<br />
STEP TWO: The final output has a white<br />
border with an app credit; both can be<br />
turned off in the settings control, found<br />
in the upper left-hand corner of the app.<br />
