Calca app 88.0.0

Calca app is a versatile tool that facilitates the transfer of images from your device to paper. With Calca, your device can function as a camera lucida or projector, allowing you to effortlessly recreate any image you have.

But how exactly does it work? Well, all you need is a support mechanism like a glass, jar, or box, which you can conveniently purchase on my website erbolamm.com. Once you have your support ready, simply choose an image from your camera, the internet, or select one already saved on your device. This image can be a photo, drawing, text, or sketch - as long as it's an image file.

Next, head to the editing area where you can fine-tune your image. Use the buttons on the top bar to rotate the image in 90-degree increments and drag over the corners to select the specific area you want to draw. Keep in mind that the crop size is set to vertical to prevent empty areas and user confusion when scaling the image to fit the height.

Once you are satisfied with your edited image, simply click on the save button at the top. The resulting image will be displayed at 50% transparency, but don't worry - you can easily adjust the opacity using the slider bar at the bottom until you achieve optimal visibility for tracing.

To enable camera functionality, make sure to grant permission when prompted. This will allow you to see both the selected image and the area where you are going to draw through your device's camera. For accurate functioning, it's essential that your device is focused on the drawing area and that you avoid obstructing it with your hand.

In addition to traditional paper drawings, Calca also allows you to create larger artistic pieces by holding your phone upright and using it as a window to project the selected image onto a wall. For even more creative possibilities, you can use a basic stand to tilt the device at a 45-degree angle and achieve a 3D effect in your drawings. Check out the help section for examples, videos, and images demonstrating these techniques.

If coloring is more your style, you can also search for line drawings to color and practice your skills. To enhance your drawing experience, I recommend creating a relaxing atmosphere with calming music and ensuring that the environment is well-lit.

It's worth noting a few important points about Calca app:

• It's important to practice and refer to the demonstrative videos available to achieve desired results.
• You can search the internet for various line drawings to color and practice with.
• You have the option to remove advertising at no cost by earning points through the app.
• Calca does not function as a projection tool; for projection capabilities, a separate projector is required.
• To avoid autofocus issues, keep your hand from passing under the camera - this is explained with clear images in the help blog.
• No registration is necessary to use the app. You can download sample images from a secure cloud folder or search for any image you desire online.
• Calca app is continuously being developed, so you are encouraged to provide comments and suggestions at erbolamm.com.

For optimal results, it is crucial to utilize a support mechanism such as a glass, jar, or box. You can find my recommended options in the Tricks & Tips section of the app's "about" page.

In addition to paper drawings, you can also let your artistic vision extend to walls by holding your phone upright and using it as a window to view the chosen image on the wall.

I genuinely appreciate your feedback as it helps me gauge the effectiveness of Calca app and identify areas for improvement. Thank you for choosing my app!
