Carmen Grid 4+

Apply 3 different grids in 4 colours. Zoom in to see details close up. Lock the screen so it won't rotate and the photo won't dismiss. Keep 3 photos loaded at a time.

Carmen Grid is an app I made for my mom, Carmen. She is a painter and one day when I was visiting I watched as she tried to use her iPad to zoom in on details of the photo she was painting.

When she was concentrating on something she would touch the screen to use her finger as a guide but if she moved her finger at all the photo would dismiss and take her back to the iPad's photo gallery.

If she wanted to look at the photo from a different angle she would try to rotate the iPad and keep it flat on the table so that the screen would not rotate. But then she would get lost in concentration and pick the iPad up to look at it more closely and the image would rotate.

Not only that but when she started a new painting she would print the photo out and then either draw guide lines on it or use string to pin string on it to use as guide lines. It was a long process.

I knew these were problems I could solve for her! And so Carmen Grid was born. :)
