Ideal photo app for quick sketches? (Think slideshows!)
3yr

Maybe slightly off topic for the thread, but, it’s about optimizing your session of quick sketches.
Like probably many others in here, I’ve bought some of the reference packs with Aaron, Seeka, Mallory and the rest. And they’re worth every penny.
However, It’s quite a fidgety process of setting up a timer, picking out a photo, turn off the alarm when 30s has gone, back out of the photo, pick another one, rinse and repeat.
It would be much better to automate it. And since it’s a pretty straightforward function I thought that there would be tons of apps that handles this. But, if you, like me, have tried finding an app on the App Store that does this, you’ve probably noticed it’s not that easy to find.
Does anyone in here have any recommendations? What does your setup look like?
I tried making a slideshow with the standard Images app but, it doesn’t cut it. At its slowest it switches after 10s, you can’t select multiple albums and no random order.
Preferably you should be able to select a folder on your device, start a random slideshow without any effects with the images in that folder and subsequent folder. Time it however you want, pause, and skip.
For everyone’s gain, give tips on apps on all devices. Personally I’m looking for a solution when working on an iPad. That would make my day!
I found your post while searching for the same answer. I'll let you know if I find anything.
Hey Ken! I actually found an app that suits my needs a couple of days ago, and I’ve tried it out in my latest sessions. It’s “Quick Poses” on the App-store by Frederic Ruaudel.
It pretty much does all the things I asked for in the first post. A little bit glitchy in split-screen on the iPad when you press it down to it’s smallest width; you can’t really progress from the config-screen and start your session; so you have to widen it first. But after you set it off there’s no problem with it.
Don’t know if this post will be marked as “spam” or something but; no I’m not affiliated with the app in any way. I hope the mods doesn’t mind; it’s a useful tool I wanted to share with others.
