Locate a sketch and tap it.

Import a layered file

SketchBook exports layered files, such as PSDs and SketchBook iOS, which are great for sharing or using elsewhere. Share work-in-progress with friends or clients. Have them view your files on their iPad and add comments, using an annotated layer. Re-import the file, check out their feedback, and get back to it. Before importing layered files into SketchBook Pro for iPad, its important you read the sections to follow. Since you can import layered files from and export them to different types of devices with varying capabilities, this section will provide tips for how best to do this. Use the Gallery to import layered files using iTunes (SketchBook iOS and PSD), Dropbox (SketchBook iOS and PSD), or iCloud (SketchBook iOS only) to create a new file.

Editing from the cloud

SketchBook respects the size of a canvas and does not crop it. If the file is too large for your device to support, SketchBook will not open it. If your device supports the same number of layers, the file is fine. Finally, if the file contains more layers than your device can support, the uppermost layers are dropped. The layers can be merged before importing the file to preserve the image.

Pulling from the cloud

In the Gallery, tap a file displaying , then tap to pull a file from the cloud. Keep in mind, you can only pull files from the cloud that your device can support.

Importing from desktop

Before saving an image created with SketchBook Pro desktop to the cloud, following these steps for ideal import conditions: For Mac App Store users: 1. When saving, tap Go to iCloud Gallery. 2. In the Save (iCloud) window, select the SketchBook iOS file format. 3. Tap Options and select a device. 29

Importing PSDs
You have the ability to import layered PSD files. The canvas size and number of layers will be respected, as long as they are within the capacity of SketchBook Pro on your device. This means, you can only import files as large and with as many files as the current projects canvas. NOTE If you have forgotten the resolution of a project and its number of layers, go to the Gallery and select the project to display this information. IMPORTANT Canvases that are too large for your device will not be opened. If the file contains more layers than your device can support, the uppermost layers are dropped.

Importing from Dropbox

When importing a file, you must actively save it before it appears in the Gallery. See Save your sketch for more details. Once you select Dropbox, sign in, locate the file, and tap Import.

Importing from iTunes

1. Before importing, connect to iTunes. 2. Select your iPad, then tap Apps along the top. 3. Scroll down to File Sharing and tap SkethBook. 4. Tap Add, sync your device, and disconnect. 5. O  n your iPad, follow the instructions in Importing an image from the Gallery. 6. Tap a sketch, then Import.

Using layers

Layers and the Layer Editor

Click to access the Layer Editor. Build a sketch with individually layered elements. Simplify changes and explore variations.

What are layers?

Layers provide a way to mark up or make changes to an image without modifying the rest of the composition. Use multiple layers to build complex sketches or test variations of a design. Use the Layer Editor to create, duplicate, merge, turn on and off, reorder, blend, and delete layers. Its Layer Editor Preview displays layer content and updates as changes are made.

Empty layer

Layer with content

IMPORTANT Performance within the layer stack slows as you increase the number of layers and blend layer applied, as well as layer size.

How do I use layers?

Three-finger swipe up to open the Layer Editor. The current layer is highlighted. NOTE Upon startup, the Layer Editor displays one layer. Use to add up to 2 more layers. You can: Preserve layer transparency Delete a layer Blend modes Hide and show a layer Add a layer Reorder layers Duplicate a layer Change layer opacity Add an image Merge layers 32

Add a layer
Create a new empty layer that appears over other layers. In the Layer Editor, tap see Reorder layers. . To reposition it,

Duplicate a layer
Create a copy of the active layer by tapping .

Add an imported image

Use to add an image from the Photo Library to a layer to modify content and add it to the overall composition.

Merge layers

Use to combine layers. This frees up layers for creating other content. Ensure the layer to be merged is above the one it will be merged with. If it isnt, reposition it.

33

Hide and show a layer

Change a color, add a logo, place something else in the scene, or remove an element to create different variations of an idea.

Hide and show layers to see only what you want to see.

Tap

to hide a layer and

to show it.

Delete a layer
Remove layers to make room for new ones by tapping the layer, , then Delete.

34

Reorder layers
Next to the layer you want to move, tap and drag the layer to change its position.

 o make a layer appear in front of another, T move it above another.  o make a layer appear behind another, move it T below another.

Change layer opacity

Select a layer and drag its Opacity slider left to increase transparency or right to decrease it.

Preserve layer transparency

Use Preserve Layer Transparency to edit only the visible contents of a layer. Any transparent pixels on a layer remain transparent when this option is enabled, instead of becoming white and opaque. This makes it easier to composite various layers together, combining background and foreground images with blending occurring between pixels with various levels of transparency. When applied to a layer containing paint, only the painted portions of the layer are filled. Tap to change it to .

35

Blend modes

Use blend modes to determine how layers are composited together. Create complex multilayered textures. Choose from Multiply, Screen, or Add. Apply them and experiment without the fear of permanently altering your composition. When layers are combined, the results can vary. Change the order and experiment with the settings to achieve the result you want.

Multiply layers
Use Multiply to produce an overall darkening effect to the layer appearance. When using Multiply, the value for each pixel in the layer is darkened by a value equal to or greater than the value of pixels on other layers occupying the same location in the layer stack. It produces a similar effect to combining one or more photographic transparencies together and looking through them.

Screen layers
Use Screen to produce an overall lightening effect to the composite. When using Screen, each pixel in the layer is brightened by a value equal to or lesser than the value of pixels on other layers occupying the same location in the layer stack. It produces an effect opposite to that of Multiply.

36

Add layers
Use Add to lighten the overall composition, similar to Screen, but in a more extreme manner. When using Add, each pixel is brightened by a value equal to or lesser than the value of pixels on other layers occupying the same location in the layer stack. This is applied as a linear calculation.

Apply blend modes

Tap Normal and select a blend mode to apply it.

37

Transforming a layer
Rotate, scale, and move a layer using Layer Transform. Resize, pivot, or reposition a layer without affecting the content on other layers. Dont confuse this with transforming a canvas, which changes the view, without affecting the placement or size of the layers.

Move, rotate, or scale a layer

Use two-fingers to drag along the canvas and transform a layer. NOTE When transforming a layer, any resized or expanded content beyond the size of the canvas (not in view) will be cropped. Undoing this action will restore the content; otherwise, it is lost.  From the toolbar, tap . The canvas changes to indicate you are in transform mode.

Courtesy: (c) Susan Murtaugh To rotate, with two fingers, twist to the left or right.

To move, with two fingers, drag in any direction.

38

To scale, with two fingers, pinch the canvas for a smaller layer and expand your fingers for a larger layer.

To exit Layer Transform mode, tap

39

Time-lapse Recording

Time-lapse Record captures a movie and saves it to your Photos. As you work, it captures frames only when you are drawing. Every 16 frames captured, gives you one second of footage.

Pausing recording
When you pause a recording, everything you draw during this period appears at once to the view, when watching the recording. Use Pause for times when something repetitive or unimportant needs to be done to go into the next point in the recording. It enables you to gloss over things and jump to the next key part of your recording. 1. Tap to pause recording.

2. Tap it again to continue recording.

40

Adding frames
When recording, use (Add Frame) to hold on the current frame for a set amount of time. Use this to hold on a view, so your viewers can study whats on screen for longer. 1. Tap to add frames between segments. 2. Select the length of the delay. 3. Continue drawing.

Zooming in
As you draw, if you zoom in to do detailed work, the recording catches it. You may want to add frames to create a pause before you zoom.

Feedback
The controller provides feedback on the actual time recorded, so you can keep track of the length of your movie. Actual Time displays the running time of your recording. Frames displays the number of frames captured. NOTE A  ctual Time and Frames are linked. For every 16 frames recorded, youve captured one second of footage.

Saving a movie
When finished recording, save your movie as a .mov (H.264 movie) files, with a resolution of 1024 x 768. Tap to stop recording. A window appears enabling you to either save your recording to Photos or discard it.

Importing and sharing

There are a few different ways to import and share your movies. Their resolution is dependent upon the method used for this.
