The 3rd tab is a preview of what your
completed puzzle will look like. If you would like you can
export it on this screen. The rose photo illustrated
requires 41 regions to be colored. If you would like to
influence the number of regions go back to the 1st tab and
adjust your coloring profile or go to the 2nd tab and pick a
custom crayon set. While any puzzle may be valid not all
pictures make for simple coloring sheets. If your just
starting out you will want to use photos that have large regions
of similar colors with obvious regions that should be distinct
from others.
The final tab is your color by number puzzle which can be
exported to your coloring book or your image gallery.
Your coloring book is your digital coloring book that is
stored on your phone. Because your images are stored
on your phone you can color while on an airplane or without
internet.
For the purposes of this tutorial go
ahead and select export to coloring book. When you
export a new coloring sheet to your coloring book you will
automatically be take to the coloring board.
The coloring board is where you will
spend most of your time coloring your work of art on your
phone. The circular arrows depict undo and redo.
The pink eraser lets you clear all the coloring in your
entire puzzle. The color all crayon will color all
regions of the selected number. If the color "C" is
selected the color all will complete the entire
puzzle. The tree is a three state button that can be
toggled between incomplete, current, and complete
states. The export to photo gallery is the last button
in the upper right. The color palette is exported in
all states expect the current coloring state when pressed. A
bold black circle will appear around the currently selected
color. In the image below color 1 is the currently
selected color.
To color a region simply press the screen in that
region. You can pan the screen using a single finger
drag and zoom in and out with a two finger gesture.
When you move away from the coloring board your coloring
state is always saved to your digital coloring book.
The crayon sets feature lets you create a color palette from
a list of predefined colors. You can get to it by
selecting the "Crayon Sets" menu option.
To modify a crayon set simply tap the color
set you would like to edit.
You can give your crayon set a name and a
short description. To add or remove crayons simply use
the toggle button to select or unselect a color.
Hitting the duplicate button will add a copy of the current
crayon set in your sets which can be edited on its own
independently. Once you have finished your selection
navigating away from the screen will store your
selection. Next time you import a new coloring sheet
you it will be available in your list of crayon sets.
You can view all of the sheets in your coloring book by
going to the "Coloring Book" menu item.

see a preview of where you left off and have an opportunity
to change the name and description. Your progress and
the number of deviations from the ideal colors is shown
above the preview. Feel free to add your own
variations to the puzzle or try to color the puzzle exactly
as predetermined by the app.
The "Help" menu is always there for quick reference if you
forget what an icon means. The ability to export
