I’ve been thinking a lot about texture in iPhone paintings now the iPad is on the way. It’s no use trying to give a tiny picture interesting brush strokes or textures. There just aren’t enough pixels.
Paintings made in Brushes app are saved quite small if you sync them via the iPhone gallery to your desktop.
Help is at hand if you have a Mac. It looks as if help will be even handier if you have an iPad with its much bigger screen than iphone or ipod.
Meanwhile my helper when using Brushes app is the Brushes Viewer, as far as I know still only available on the Mac.
Brushes Viewer syncs with your Brushes gallery via wi-fi. Not only does it play an animation of your brush strokes as you painted your picture. It exports the finished result at surprisingly high quality in a choice of much larger sizes.

COME ALONG NOW, PUT YOUR WORST FACE FORWARD!
PAINTER 12 BRUSHES
Yes, Barb. This is saved in the Brushes desktop app as a .jpg file – or it can be a .png. And yes, it can be displayed as a fully painted piece.
The Brushes desktop app will export at same size and up to 6x magnification, which in camera terms is around 5 megapixels I think. I find that the 6x magnification is getting a bit blocky, but up to 3x usually looks good.
Hey there… that is an amazing painting process. You gotta’ love technology! So, this transfers to your Mac and sits on your screen as a fully painted piece in Painter might?
This stuff energizes me, Valerie — I have to get up and do jumping jacks or something. Hoping you posted this at Painter Talk.
BTW, I just watched a little movie on Mag+ — MS version I guess, of the iPad. Both are exciting.
