Waterlogue by Tinrocket

This app is FANTASTIC, but frustrating. It frequently crashes when rendering, with no error or clue as to why. It would be 5 stars if it were more stable

I usually work in Photoshop and I have to say that many of these watercolor choices are great. The results can really look hand painted. I have found that not all pictures will "work" and produce a stunning result. It seems that pictures with medium to a lot of detail and a lot of colors come out the best. No tutorial so I had to plunder through the first photos to figure out where they were saved. Once found, it was easy to go back to. After I saved a few photos with different effects I was able to open them in another program to review, and name the ones I wanted. Used as just an effects tool in conjunction with a photo editing program, it's great! Overall it's REALLY GREAT for just $3!!!!!

It was working wonderfully and my photos were great, had a bunch printed as 8x10's at Costco and they look fantastic. Now it won't work, open it and within a second or two it closes. My friend just bought the app a few days ago and it worked the first time she used it and now she can't get her photos, that part is missing.

My photos (and I tried many) were so blurry they didn't come close to examples given. I wrote support and they replied promptly with the advise to use "Giant" on ruler and try "Illustrated" as preset. I tried not only "Illustrated" but all the presets and Giant through Small on ruler. People, the "free" version is as good as it gets, it is the only version. No additional features on the paid version, so try it on the "free" version first. If youre not happy with the trial, don't waste your money or time. I came out with lumpy heads, dark shadows where eyes were, people were unrecognizable. You pay only 2.99 for it so you aren't out a lot for the chance, but DO NOT EXPECT the quality of the samples given. They are misleading to the point of ridiculousness. Ill keep playing with it, but I can see it will be hard to find a photo that translates as their sample. Ive tried many so far. Only 2 variables in settings..any combination of the above made no difference for me.

I loved the app. It used to work great, but now it opens and immediately closes. I reset the app, and it still failed. I deleted the app and reinstalled, and it still failed.

A moderate learning curve by trial and error but an enjoyable one. Not being able to name the file upon saving was a disadvantage as I had to rename each file so the next picture would save and/or copy. Also, it would be nice to be able to combine the different presets for more potential variations. A have many pictures to try out and so far the ones I've tried look great. Knock on wood, I haven't had any problems with crashes during rendering.
