Amazing nostalgic app!

I started as a wet photographer years ago and remember the excitement that first time I processed my own film and then that first black & white photo appeared in the development tray. Nothing, NOTHING is quite as rich as B&W photography and this app replicates that in the digital world almost perfectly.

Erinnerungen an frühere Zeiten

Es ist wie einst in der Dunkelkammer. Nur ohne Chemie, ohne Gerüche und ohne Sondermüll, aber das gleiche, schöne Ergebnis. Leider werden die Bilder nicht als JPG oder TIFF abgespeichert, was bei meiner chronologischen Archiving problematisch ist, da kein ordentlicher Timecode im PNG implementiert ist. Speichern in verschiedenen Dateiformaten wäre verbesserungswürdig.
