Painteresque App Reviews

A one of a kind image processes. Nothing else does this kind of magic. This is unique and the results are beautiful. You will learn quickly what works and what does not. Landscape and architecture are consistently amazing.

When using this on my Ipad 3rd generation the application keeps freezing after taking a picture and clicking save. It does not happen all the time. When a fix is provided then I will give this app 5 stars because I absolutely love it.

You will be applying this to all your photos if you've not uses it before. Wonderful effects.

Not worth the buy.

I have lots of photo adjusting apps. I like the output of this simple app a lot!! I have now done gobs of pictures -- I like every one. Gratitude to the programmer!! Really!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It is true there are no settings, BUT THAT IS THE AMAZING BEAUTY OF IT. I CAN TURN PICTURES THAT I NORMALLY WOULD NOT USE INTO "NORMAN ROCKWELLS" by just loading them into this program! Moreover, the more cluttered the background of the picture is the more Rockwell-ish the picture becomes. It is a simple program with a beautiful outcome.

This was my first photo effects app when it came out in version 1. I loved its simplicity - turning me from a so-so snap shooter into a creator of art works I loved. I still go back to my earliest edits with appreciation, and some of my friends like them best. With version 2 I have more control thanks to the fine tuning option. Today I use Painteresque mostly as one stage of my effects as there is nothing else quite like it. Thank you for an inspiring app that has more flexibility than first appears and does what it does with no fuss and beautifully. It's worth every penny. Well done.

Produces interesting painter/HDR effects for landscapes, objects, buildings, etc. The resulting images can stand by themselves, be tweaked with other apps, blended back with the original, etc. I like it, and would have given it 5 stars if there were any controls provided to modify the effect.

Great app. I particularly like the Painteresque 2 for a watercolor effect. Easy to use for a new dimension to your photographs.

This app quickly and simply produces some great results with both color and black and white landscape photos. Because of the type of output it produces I wouldn't recommend it for portraits but that said, I have amassed over 70 photo apps and this is definitely one of my top 5, a consistent go-to. Anytime I have a nice landscape I create a Painteresque version of it!

I should of read the reviews more carefully. My bad. This app does one thing that's it. One thing. Really..? $2.00 for one thing. Enough said.

This App is a waste of money in my opinion. I didn't like any of the preset outcomes and trying to fine tune an image is horrendously tedious at best. So many better apps out there...skip this one.

I like Paintersque so much that I recommended in in my book "Scrapbooking on the iPad"

This application has a few very nice effects. It lacks ability to send a finished picture to Twitter or Facebook. With the addition of a few more effects and the ability to send edited pictures elsewhere, it would be a better product and worth the price. As it stands now, it is overpriced.

I bought this app last week tried saving a picture and it does not work. This is worthless. The developer is taking money from people that buy the app what it does not work. This is a rip off. I would give this app cero stars if I could. **** the save option is working now. Thank you.****

doesn't work with every photograph....but when it the effect does work with a particular photo, the result can be exquisite! i love this app!

Hands down my most favorite processing app now for several years in a row!! Absolutely stunning and amazing with nature portraiture, landscapes and architecture!! Great fine-tuning options too! No other app has this level of aesthetics in the resulting image!

this app apply just 1 efx in photos, with no adjusts, no configs... not worth 1,99!! there are lot of free photo and image apps that do more than this... i think the developer of painteresque have to think about this price... this is NOT a 1,99 app... DON'T BUY IT!!!

The program is fun, has good presets, lets you adjust those presets further if you want, and can be used for some serious artsy stuff. Look forward to its future.

There's no preview of what the fine tuning might possibly be doing and then no opacity control which would also help fine tune. Very slow to process. I like the look and would use it if I hand some ability to control the final product. I'll wait for upgrades...you should too

With 20+ apps that change photographs into art, I thought I had everything and then I discovered Painteresque. The basic 2 styles produce the "dirtied" image that looks like a lithograph. With a few exceptions (very light images, faces, and images without detail) the style is amazing and creates images I've blown up to 17x13 and look like true illustrations. The Rainbow, Mars, and Portrait are my least favorite styles, but when you find the photo for them, they work like magic! In my wishlist for this app are more levels of Painteresque style, adjustable effects, layers, and edges. Get this!

This is my favorite photo filter by far and I have them all. I would give this app 10 stars if I could! Used on the right pictures and with judicious restraint it makes textures really pop. I particularly love Painteresque for stone, wood, foliage and fur. Simply stunning on most textured objects. It does not look good on smooth surfaces such as skin or sky. Props to Simon Funk for making such a fantastic filter app. Please consider making Painteresque available for as an app for the Mac. I would love to be able to easily use in in conjunction with Photoshop. Right now I’m doing this but it is cumbersome to have to import the photos between the iPad and Mac

Easy to use. Turns good photos into great pictures!

Paintersque is my number one favor ! Many people asked me how to do that ! I use my iPhone 5 all time , just shoot and Paintersque and send. That is real easy. I will frame many picturesque pictures.

What a Great app this is. I have seen similar but they can't even hold a candle to this one. The output is super realistic of a painting. Intriguing and fun photo app. You definitely won't be disappointed with this one.

Limited use. It's kind of a one-trick pony. It turns your photo into one type of painting in seconds, which is very cool. The painting is a high quality image that applies to almost any photo you choose, but there is nothing to do with this app. No settings to adjust, no anything. It just does what it does and then it's done. I miss doing something to get my "art."

Great app simplest fastest transition no adjusting needed. I bought 4 today this is best by far.Easy easy easy !!!!! I'm not photographer and some of the other app's make you adjust color saturation etc. This is one click!

Painteresque is a photo processing app for iPad that creates what looks like a color pencil sketch of an HDR photo. Just open a photo and Painteresque processes it. + No controls to mess with + Saves at full resolution - Would benefit from a Portrait button to better process skin tones - Struggles with areas of smooth tone

Always after taking a picture, it totally locks up. Needs to be fixed as it did one picture and now won't even work on my iPad 2.

It just brings photos to life in a charming and satisfying way. Not every photo works, but when it does it's really a home run. My only criticism is that it tends to be a little too blotchy for my taste in the sky portions of landscapes. As others have said, I would like more controls to vary the styling--or at the very least the intensity of the effect. More controls would be especially helpful if offered in tandem with a masking feature. ---- Edit for new version. Thanks to dev for giving us more controls/options, but given the relatively long processing time, without a preview mode it's very much hit and miss when you mess with the controls. So a preview mode with (more or less) realtime feedback on changes to the result when moving a slider is needed.

Got some big spenders here, app is well worth two bucks and more!

Simply outstanding. Easily used. Distinctive, appealing images easily created. A bargain.

I would be more than willing to give this app a solid five star rating if the developers would simply update and make this app iOS 7 compatible. The app still functions and does the job, but I feel like that app has been abandoned, and I would be ok with that fact, but the developers are still charging the same price for an app that seems to have zero support. Stay fresh and I guarantee this app will be a top app again! (7/17/14- I came back and gave this app one star from my original three stars, the app has yet to be updated and no sign of any developer support.. Pretty pathetic considering people still have to pay for the app.. This app should be pulled from the App Store!!!)

I love this app I highly recommend it. I hope they make more filters tho I think it would be fantastic

Finally updated and works great and super fast with iOS 8. Such a fabulous app. Works great for pets and for cityscapes.

I've tried several of these apps and so far I like this one the best.

Hate all the choices I find them very amateurish at best! Waste of money!

It's fun it lets you fine tune the photo they way you like It. If your into photoshop for fun and eye catching pictures it does Rock. A real plus in addition to any photoshop bag of tricks.

One of my favs to go to. Does what it says it does. Clean & simple. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Every photo I put thru this has come out great. Very quick and easy and a lot of fun!

Excelente aplicación la recomiendo.

Really the best stylized, impressionist like rendering program I've seen for old houses, room interiors, and sculpture. You could illustrate a book with this thing!

It only does what it wants, not what you want. This is a lame one-trick pony.

Want to edit .... You get a tiny little picture of your photo in a box, up at the top. You can barely see what's happening until you hit done. Each step, have to hit done, then wait while it loads. You spend 90% of time waiting for stuff to load. Same with a preset. Doesn't scroll through. You have to load each and everytime. There are so many other apps out there that are far better than this mess.

UPDATE pleaseeeee!!!

The 2.0 update with "Style" function is unbelievable! The ability to get under the hood and fine-tune the settings and save presets (plus the addition of several useful stock presets) makes this a whole new ball game for Painteresque. _______ Painteresque is original and different--the kind of boutique-y app you get after you have all your core editing tools and you're looking for some special pizzazz. It provides an output that's riveting and unlike any other. As a Photoshop user for 19 years (used to its price, plus plugs $) I'm always game to spend a couple of bux to try an innovative iOS app like Painteresque. As with all other fx apps, I don't look at the output as final; I subtly layer it into the image. And again, when Painteresque hits the mark, it's a beautiful sight! As a painter, I can't say Painteresque images are discernibly painterly--even in an "-esque" fashion, but that obviously takes nothing away from Painteresque's extreme utility. No matter how you slice it: recommended. And a big cigar to the Dev! best, Nick Rusko-Berger painter, photographer, illustrator ruskoberger d otco m IG: ruskoberger

The latest features in this app make it outstanding. Super job.

Upgraded to iPhone XS Max. App no longer saves images after processing.

Painteresque was always a good app. I've been using it for several months, loved the effect but found it too strong so I often blended the Painteresque version back into the original. So this morning I noticed styles and fine tuning - OMG! A bunch of presets and ways to fine tune the effects. Wonderful update. Now this app gets five stars and will get more use.

I live in a American Victorian town. This app allows us to take an old photo and make it more interesting and artistic for marketing brochures.
