[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
This is also a program I am looking into at the moment (I recently made a thread about drawing apps specifically to find a decent vector app). Unfortunatly the play store says I cannot get this app, as it is not authorised for my country... I am currently trying to find a way around this. When I do, I will let you know what I think of the app.

edit: oh I see, the samsung store seems to say being in england is ok... I'll ignore the play store then I guess. £5.50 seems steep, but the program does seem to have a lot of good features.

Alternatively, I would recommend "Infinite Design" as a vector app. Its a bit rough around the edges (the UI is a bit clunky still, but the guy is still working on it all) but it does have a lot of good features.

Those squares are photoshops way of showing that the "background layer" of your image is transparent, meaning that if you paste your image on top of another picture, you will be able to see through it. The alternative is a solid background.

Personally I prefer programs which keep a transparent background, as it gives you more options in the future. If you print the picture, or view it in a normal gallery, the background will just appear plain white.

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Thanks figured it out photoshop cs6 reads .tiff too.

I wanted to save my sketch as a bigger jpg cause I'm doing a sketch for someone and now I know if I want to carry on touching up a painting on my laptop from photoshop can just do it with the .tiff file and save it to a bigger gpg from there.

Not sure what you mean by transparent with the dots or how could carry on painting that way?

Sorry only ever used photoshop for painting and only just started using sketchbook pro.

Not even tried painting in layers with it, didn't even know you could. Really have to learn how to use this plus not being able to rest my palm is bugging me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
I'll try and explain in a helpful way, but its not one of my strong suits lol.

Basically, when you open up a blank page in sketchbook pro to start a new drawing, the page *looks* like its a blank white canvas. Actually its not white at all, but transparent (as in see through).

Imagine it like you are drawing on a piece of glass. Every black line you put down is visible, but the white background is invisible.

So if you took your line-drawing, and put it into photoshop and pasted it onto a photograph, you would only see the black lines, and not the white background.

Of course, if you add a background to the sketchbook pro drawing (by filling it all in red or green or even white) then this would stay as a solid colour when you import it into photoshop.

I really hope this was helpful... and that it made sense to you. If anyone can explain it better then please do :)

edit: The "checkered boxes" that photoshop shows, is its way of saying that those parts of the image are "see through", like glass. You can actually make photoshop pictures have transparent backgrounds like that by default, but I guess you dont have it set up that way. Those little squares dont show up when you actually print out the picture, it will just leave the paper blank in those places.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Oh cool thanks I must have seemed really stupid there, I'm just new to using it.

It's pretty cool really

Just figured out how to do layers, I missed them not using photoshop :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
This is what I'm working on with my note 10.1 the colours are a bit wrong as I'm colour blind and used to use Photoshop colour picker to do my colours so this is my first attempt with my tablet and using my own eyes for colour so please don't judge me on that.

Hopefully I'll finish it soon as I'm still learning how to use sketchbook pro
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
It's looking good to me, but just to say... Sketchbook pro has a color picker as well... Or at least the iPad version does. I've noticed a few things have been left out of the android version so far.

I just checked in fact cos I was curious, and it does have it. If you bring up the color wheel, the picker is on the bottom-right.

What I would normally do is import my photo I'm using for colors onto a new layer, pick the color I want, and then hide that layer for future reference.

Hope that was some help :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
I know but I was using it to take colour samples from the photos so I thought I'd use my own eyes instead.

Thanks, I find using the tablet to paint easier as to get a colour like pink I can start at white then use the colour spectrum and add some darkness which I couldn't do using normal painting method as all my colours came out wrong.

This is just a test using a photo as reference but hoping to paint landscapes and things when my accuracy is better.

I've just discovered using layers but thought it might be better to use my own eyes as it will give my art a kind of unique look to it.

Thanks for the tip about the importing to layers might come in handy if I'm really struggling.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
No problem, I've been playing around with this since I got my iPad1, back when there was very little support for using tablets for "proper art", so I've had to teach myself all sorts of tricks and shortcuts.

Of course now I got this Note, I'm having to relearn most if it to take into account a whole new set of apps! Most of which are not quite up to iOS standard yet, but seem to be catching up fast, which is fine by me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Only problem I've got is I can't rest my palm on it and when I do a line or marks appear, was annoying me until I discovered how to use layers and just erase the marks.

You would have thought Wacom would have applied this or helped Samsung as my wacom tablet can know diffrrence between my hand and the pen.

It's almost as good as photoshop illustrator though apart from that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fambot:
Got my 10.1 yesterday. Here's my first sketch on it (autodesk sketchbook)...mind you I was doodling and decided to add wolverine after the fact...making it a little awkward but oh well...it has potential ....maybe ill just wear gloves lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
Hmm... Actually I thought I had heard that there were options for palm recognitions and things like that, so that the tablet only accepted pen input.. maybe it is only on certain apps or something?

I'm sure someone with more experience with the tablet will point it out to us.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jonphinguyen7:
For Sketchbook Pro the secret is to put the pen tip close to or on the screen, then rest your palm on the glass. That will (95%) ensure you do not get that annoying streak/line. LayerPaint has a pen-only mode, and I don't think PS touch has the palm issue either.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Or buy a glove with extra grip and use your other hand to zoom in and out :D

Another one from here. I find i really miss features of painter i used to use on my trusty hp2710p tablet. Sold that to finance buying the 10.1..

Android hardware is nearly there but software side needs more work.

painted in sketchbook pro.. Wished there was a blending brush.... Unless i haven't found it yet.

Painting time 5.5 hours using 60% battery life.

Anyone having irritating problems when resting your palm on the screen while painting with sketchbook pro go into note 10.1 settings and pen settings and turn on pen hovering icon and I don't seem to leave any marks on screen or lines appear when resting my palm.

Was wondering how it used to only reject palm in ps touch but that's because it uses the pen hovering icon as default.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Valkern:
I switched from sketchbook pro to layerpaint. You can turn off single gesture touches with fingers so that only multi touch and pen are recognized.

This has eliminated all of my palm recognition issues and with unlimited canvas sizes (seemingly) I could not be happier!

I will not be going back!

This was my first quick sketch while waiting for my tires to be changed over. I was hoping that someone might think I was crazy and rush the job! Lol.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] plebianJay:
Yes, layer paint is awesome! It supports tons of layers as well... I've done life drawing sessions of 3 minute poses for 2 hours, with a new layer for each pose at 1024x1024 res, and it holds up fine. Saving is a bit slow though.

The maddening thing about Layer Paint is the interface. I like that it's minimal, but things like switching tools, from brush to eraser and back, or to bring up the color picker, and quickly switch back to brush is *so* annoying. Also the way it seems to randomly forget the size/opacitysettings on brushes when you switch to another brush and then switch back is a pain.

The pressure response and the line quality it gives is amazing though. Sketchbook Pro got a lot better with the last update, but still has a ways to go.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Valkern:
In layer paint if you press the stylus button then tap the screen one time and then release the button you can switch between brush and eraser using this method.

I have never had a brush setting forgotten unless I started a new drawing, which in itself is annoying. Wonder why yours is giving you problems?

Hope my tip helps! :)

I'm using GT-N8010 btw, I hope it is the same for other models!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
I love sketchbook pro, it doesn't seem to make long marks now like it used to and ruin my painting, sometimes even using the eraser didn't help.

Papyrus us a really nice app
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cybeo:
Hey guys!

Well I got my Note 10.1 about a week ago and have installed some drawing apps. So far done 2 or 3 sketches using Papyrus and 1 on Sketchbook Pro. I've experimented with LayerPaint and Infinite Design + Inifinite Paint. So far I really like Sketchbook Pro after selecting the right options and Papyrus is super duper for sketching.

There's a slight difference in colors when importing pictures to my widescreen IPS LED monitor. Seems to be a little fade on certain colors, so I'll run the adjuster app to sort that out.

Note 10.1 is hugely impressive. It's already helped me decide on packaging designs for my studio work, I've taken notes using the Lecture Notes app and found the multi-screen function to be essential. My rating for this tablet is 9.8. Rating for Nexus 7 is 8.8. iPad is 6.7. Sorry Apple. :P

I'll post more drawings. Have heavy deadlines at the mo' so maybe a week or 2 and will have a lot more.

Aletheus, the pen only thing only works on Sketchbook Mobile, that looks like the option scren for Pro.

BTW, I figured out a hack to work on larger images in sketchbook mobile! I keep my Sketchbook directory synced with dropbox using Dropsync. I can keep my images synced between my note2 and the 10.1 that way. I noticed that the image sizes were slightly different, but they opened fine, so I ran an experiment:

I opened one of the synced files in gimp on my pc, then resized it to 2048 x 2048, saved it and then uploaded it to dropbox. Then I did sync, and opened it in sketchbook...... and it opened fine! Then with that image opened, whenever you create a new image it uses the higher res as the reference.

Tldr: high res images work in Sketchbook mobile!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Reiman76:
Cool. I've never been good with mixing colors. What app did you use?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
How much testing did you do on this?

I tried the same thing for the "sketchbook pro for tablets" app, resizing the 1280x750 .tiff images into larger files (i tried 1440x900 and 1920x1080), and then reopened them in sketchbook.

And it did open the files... though for some reason they were flipped upside down. And while I was able to scroll around and draw on them, if I clicked the button to transform them (in order to flip the image the right way up) the app would force close.

Does sketchbook mobile have this issue? If not, then it might be a good temporary solution until the new update for sketchbook is released.
