C’mon, who among us hasn’t snapped a photo on Instagram and thought “wow, that’d look great on my wall” — I know I have. So Art.com came up with Photos to Art, a slick app that painlessly, almost magically transform your digital snapshot into a piece of art — all you need to provide is some money and a bit of imagination (and they’ll even help you with that last one).
Once selected, you’re given the option of placing your work on a generic virtual wall — livingroom, bedroom, etc. — to see what it’s look like. But the real magic is the app’s smart use of augmented reality to superimpose the art you’ve made over a live image of your own wall through the iPhone’s camera.
Everything is well presented and easy to use, and Art.com says it’s prices are pretty reasonable. For instance, an unframed 16-inch square poster print is $11; the same size as a wood mount is $45.

The app doesn’t work.. No matter what picture you pick it gives an error saying its the wrong size., whether I pick one from Instagram or from my camera roll.. All the reviews say the same thing.. Too bad too, because I was interested in getting something like this
Love my job, since I’ve been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I’m making it online(Click on menu Home)
