## What is Daguerre?

Every photograph has a story written in light — and in metadata. Daguerre turns that story into a finishing touch: an elegant, film-inspired frame with your camera, lens, and exposure typeset beneath the image like a caption on a gallery print.

Shoot with a Leica, Hasselblad, Fujifilm, Sony, Canon, Nikon — or your iPhone. Daguerre reads the EXIF data automatically and presents it with the care it deserves.

EIGHT SIGNATURE FRAME STYLES
• Heritage — a soft white border with refined typography
• Silver Plate — a brushed-metal border, a nod to the daguerreotype
• Gallery — a museum-style mat with classic serif type
• Folio — a wide archival mat with a deep caption footer
• Warmtone — warm ivory tones with gentle contrast
• Instant — instant-film cream with a generous footer
• Noir — deep charcoal, made for monochrome work
• Cinema — a borderless black letterbox with tracked type

CRAFTED FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
• Automatic EXIF reading: camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and date
• Choose exactly which details appear — show only what matters
• Add your own copyright line or signature
• Batch mode: frame and export an entire shoot in one pass

BUILT FOR YOUR LIBRARY
• Browse by album — All Photos, Favorites, Recently Added, Screenshots, and your own albums
• Tap a photo and it zooms open full screen — swipe to page through your library, pinch to float back to the grid
• Pinch to zoom the photo grid, just like Photos — keep pinching to dive straight into a photo
• Long-press any photo to frame it instantly

DESIGNED FOR iPAD
• Side-by-side editing: your photo on a gallery wall canvas, controls in an inspector panel
• Drag photos in from Files or other apps — they are framed right away
• Keyboard shortcuts for fast batch work

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything happens on your device — your photos never leave it
• Import only the photos you choose — full library access is optional
• No account, no upload, no tracking
• Export at full resolution or share directly — HEIC stays HEIC, PNG stays PNG, EXIF preserved

From a single frame to a full portfolio, Daguerre is for photographers who believe presentation is part of the picture.
