Guide
Select photo from your camera roll
Pick from the film simulation that best suits the look you are going for
Here are a few examples for black and white, color, infrared, and creative films. I developed the film profiles inspired by real films but are not affiliated with the company names.
Add Film Grain
The app uses a custom film grain algorithm I developed to match the texture of real film not just overlaying a fixed image.
Option to use Advanced Haltation, Bloom, or HSL
Here is an example of Bloom on the example photograph and Halation on a separate image that is better suited to the filter processing.
Use Basic Photo editor to dial in the look
Here I used white balance to add a slight cool tone and magenta, darkened the shadows, added slight vignette and fade.
Option to Save a Preset
With the advanced features you can save the editing configuration as a preset for future use.
Export
Export options for high resolution or lowres copy. If demoing advanced features without purchasing the upgrade it will be limited to lowres export.
Examples
