You can add paintings to your photo album, email them, or directly access your gallery via a built-in web server. Add to Photos To add a painting to your photo album, make sure that you are in viewing mode and not painting mode. If you’re painting, tap Done in the navigation bar to switch to viewing mode. Tap the action button in the toolbar. Activate the action pop up. In the menu that appears, tap Add to Photos: Brushes User’s Guide 23 Brushes will show this panel: Tap the thumbnail to rotate the painting to the proper orientation before exporting. Add the painting to your photo album. Cancel export. Tap the painting thumbnail to rotate it. When you’re ready, tap Export to add the painting to your photo album. The next time you launch the built-in Photos app, the painting will appear in your album. It will also get sent to your computer when you sync with iTunes or iPhoto. From the Photos app, you can assign it to a contact, set it as your wallpaper, and more. NOTE: When added to your photo album, paintings are saved in the JPEG format, which uses lossy compression. Some amount of detail may be lost, and the painting may lose transparency if it isn’t completely opaque. To get the highest-quality results, use a different method to export your painting. Emailing a Painting Emailing a painting works just like adding it to your photo album. In the menu, just tap Email Painting.
