About this app

CalcaApp: Your Customisable Tool for Transferring Images to Paper
Welcome to the latest CalcaApp update!

Overview:
CalcaApp is an innovative, customisable tool that allows you to transfer any image from your device or captured with your camera to paper, acting as a camera lucida or projector. With a wide selection of features and tools, CalcaApp is designed to inspire you and facilitate your artistic creations.

You can draw on a table on a piece of paper yes, but you can also make a small mural on the wall if you hold your phone upright and look through it at the image you have chosen on the wall.

3D effect: You can use a basic stand to support the device at a 45 degree tilt or whatever you choose, and you can make a 3D effect on the drawing. examples with videos and images on CalcaApp.com

Free for All:
I'm excited to announce that CalcaApp is now completely free for all its users - enjoy all the features at no cost!

Earn Points, Remove Ads:
Coming soon, you'll have options that will require more than ten points. With an active subscription, you'll have access to everything unlocked at the same special price.

Annual Subscription:

Multicultural Languages:
We've added new languages, including Italian, as well as Russian, French, Indonesian, German, Arabic, English, Spanish and Portuguese, so you can enjoy CalcaApp in your preferred language.

Follow me on the Networks:
Ask us for new features from our social networks and get to know them on ApliArte.Com.

Recommended supports:
Use supports recommended by CalcaApp or, failing that, something suitable, such as a glass, a jar or a box, to hold the device horizontally or vertically depending on where you want to make the drawing, but it is important that the device is fixed.

Tips and Recommendations:
Consider using a stand recommended by CalcaApp for a better experience.
Consider choosing a colour you like for a better user experience.
Consider using soothing music and make sure you have enough lighting to enjoy the experience.
Remember that CalcaApp is not magic and requires practice. You can find demonstration videos on our website for best results.
IMPORTANT:
-You must give permission to the camera of your device, to be able to see through it, the image chosen or captured in the area where you are about to draw.
-This app is not magic (It needs practice, there are demonstration videos to see results).
-Your device MUST FOCUS ON THE DRAWING AREA, be it paper, wall, floor, etc... FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY.
-You can search with the app from the web for any drawing to colour and start practising.
-You can remove advertising with a point system and at no cost.
-It does not project the image (a projector is necessary for this).
-To avoid autofocus you have to prevent your hand from passing under the camera (explained with images on CalcaApp.com).
-You do not need to register for the app.
-This app is under continuous development, we welcome and value your comments and suggestions at erbolamm.com or apliarte.com.

Works great. I worked as a graphic designer in the 80s and 90s. We had a optical contraption the projected an image on your drawing board. This works similar by overlaying a transparent picture to your cameras field of view. You have to watch an ad before using it. Big deal. If I were to use it professionally for hours on end I would want an ad free version. But for the occasional use it's perfect. I really like the opacity slide to adjust transparency. Great to get a sketch on paper.

Genius. It works with a little practice. I like how the ads are structured in the app. You earn points that you can use to have an ad-free experience. So I just watch ads in bulk to earn the points. It's like playing a small game before making art. It's still great, especially if it's free. We starving artists sometimes don't have the $$ to splurge on the other paid apps.

The app is PERFECT, it helps and improves my artwork a lot and I am now a really good artist, sometimes the picture I picked for drawing and when I'm in the progress it will blur a little bit ruining the art but its a very good app that you can pick your own picture and even just take a new one, the instructions at the start were also very helpful. I like the app great work 👍
