Tranferring and Managing Data
Email, upload, or export your work to share it. Use Dropbox. Since SketchBook Ink is resolution independent, output to the resolution you need, without sacrificing image quality. When determining your exported canvas size, the larger the canvas, the larger the file size, and the longer it takes to render and upload when exported. When selecting a canvas size, take into account your device’s limitations and only choose the size you need. Try one of SketchBook Ink’s default export presets.
Selecting an export resolution 1.
Tap
and select an option: Photo Library, Dropbox, or Email
2. If prompted, swipe through the following export Resolution presets to select one.
3. Tap Export.
Setting a custom resolution For users requiring a unique canvas size or higher resolution image, use Custom. Knowing your output destination can help you optimize things, since a larger resolution means longer rendering and uploading times.
1.
S et the resolution by either dbl-tapping a field and entering the pixels or tap-dragging the slider.SketchBook Ink maintains a 5:3 aspect ratio.
2. Tap Export.
