What's New in Darkr

20.0

September 14, 2026

Added new Copper tone in the darkroom. I increased the strength on the Selenium tone as well. And a couple of bug fixes in the pinhole camera. I hope you like the update and continue to make awesome photographs.

Wirklich enorm

Wer weiß, wie ein analoger Dunkelkammer Prozess funktioniert, kommt hier voll digital auf seine/ihre Kosten.
Und dann noch mit do vielen unterschiedlichen Formaten. 👏🏽

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.
