Amazing Paint Blending
Try Inspire Pro and you will quickly see that it is a painting app like no other! The key feature is the simulation of wet oil paint on canvas, allowing amazing blending effects with five real kinds of brushes. You will be stunned by what a dry brush can do!
Gallery
Show off all of your saved paintings in a beautiful gallery. You can name each of your paintings, save them to your Photos, email them to a friend or upload them directly to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. Paintings can also be duplicated, deleted and quickly browsed by thumbnail.
Hotspots
There are 8 hotspots around the edge of the screen that can be tapped to perform commonly used actions quickly and easily. Undo your last brush stroke, switch to a dry brush or reset the zoom level instantly by tapping a hotspot. If you rotate your iPad, the hotspots will automatically rotate as well.
Painting Menu
The intuitive painting menu completely disappears when dismissed and rotates to accommodate the current orientation of the device. The combination of the painting menu and hotspots means less time looking for tools and more time painting. Inspire Pro's user interface is clean, fast and can be customized to fit your painting style.
Color Picker
Choose any paint color you can dream of quickly and easily with the natural color picker. Your latest colors are saved automatically as you paint and you can also save your favorite colors with drag and drop. Transparent paint colors can be selected to simulate a glazing effect on the canvas.
Paint
Not only can you control everything about the brushes in Inspire Pro, but the paint on the brushes can be configured as well. Loading a brush with no paint at all causes it to start dry and allows brush strokes to produce amazing blending effects with ease. Blending with a dry brush is effortless.
Brushes
There are five realistic kinds of paint brushes to choose from and each brush comes in many different sizes and can be rotated a full 360 degrees. The pressure can also be adjusted with a dry brush to achieve a variety of different blending effects. Use a small amount for a subtle blur, while a large amount of pressure can be used to actually mix paint colors on the canvas together.
