Inkwork

The algorithms that create the inks are great—many have said otherwise in reviews, but if you choose the right type of photo and experiment a bit, you can get some really stellar results. HOWEVER, many such results have such a low definition that they are unusable beyond Instagram. What gives? With such defined lines in almost every ink, I don’t think it would be that hard to significantly bump the definition...in fact it’d probably be a lot easier than it was to create such great algorithms. I’d love to change my review if the resolution of the output increases.

I can’t rave enough about this app. I have been struggling with an art project for a while using the image trace feature in Adobe Illustrator and coming up with poor results. Inkwork gave me not only exactly what I was after, but tons of new options I couldn’t have otherwise come up with. This app has a fantastic variety of options, a smooth and well-thought-out interface, and high-res export. I can’t believe they’re not charging several bucks for it. Thank you, Inkwork!

This app is very good at converting images to line drawings. There are lots of options for drawing type, and the ability to modify the lines within each type. I only gave it four stars because I find myself wanting an Opacity control so I can let some color from the underlying image show through. I would rather not need to take the Inkwork drawing into another app to achieve that affect.
