Screen On..... Use your tablet as a photo reference  without it going blank.

Finally figured out how to use my tablet for reference photos as I am painting. Normally, a phone screen or tablet screen will "time Out" so you don't use up all your battery power. There are times, like when you are covered in paint and really don't want it all over your key board or screen, and you wish you could keep the photo on! Been there many times...... there is a cool app, actually several of them. Go to Google play store or apple apps and search Time out. Download an app and when you run the app and click on your photo you are using for reference painting it will STAY ALIVE without your screen going blank on you. The one thing I noticed on my screen is it will dim on me. I can use use the back side of my knuckle which is about the only part of me that doesn't have paint on it and tap the screen when I need to check my photo. It will brighten up. It sure beats printing out a photo all the time. Just thought some others might benefit from that little tidbit. KEEP PAINTING!
