Turn Your Photographs Into Paintings

PhotoViva ($1.99) by Lamina Design is a universal app for your iPhone and iPad that turns your photos into beautiful paintings.

Users can capture a new photo or import from their Photo Library. From that point, there are several different options that users can choose from on the bottom toolbar: Tools, Fill, Brush, Color, and Image. The arrows will reveal even more, including New, Save, Zoom, and the Undo/Redo buttons.

The Tools menu is fairly basic. From here, you can adjust basic settings of your image, including: Cropping, HDR, RGB, Shadows, Midtones, Brightness, Saturate, Sharpen, Hue, Add Noise, Cool/Warm, Ghost Edges, Blending, and Watermark. There is also an “Auto Paint” feature that will have the AI paint over your image until you decide when it should stop. The result is an image that looks like a painting, rather than the original photograph you started out with.

Still though, this is a fun app and it will definitely create some unique images. If you dig the more creative photo apps out there, then you will appreciate PhotoViva. It is available at $1.99 and is a universal app for both your iPhone and iPad.
