Lightbox for Tracing

Display a reference picture or web pattern and lock gestures while tracing from the screen.

Our take

Useful for lightweight embroidery/drawing references

Image/URL/File intake gives several ways to load an authorized pattern.

Keep in mind: Not a physical lightbox or child-proof system lock; paper opacity, screen brightness and pressure affect use. Do not press tools into the display.

What you can do

  • Image and Files reference selection
  • Web-URL pattern display
  • Locked mode ignoring touch gestures

Good for

  • People tracing gently from permitted reference material

Consider alternatives for

  • Guaranteed full-app/system locking or paper-independent transparency

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.6.
  • Not a physical lightbox or child-proof system lock; paper opacity, screen brightness and pressure affect use. Do not press tools into the display.

Privacy & permissions

Web patterns involve external browsing; personal images and copyright require care, with actual permissions to review.
