## What is Fotograf?

Besides having 36 amazingly versatile, high-quality filters and a buttery-smooth interface, Fotograf does a bunch of useful things your other photo apps don’t, including:

- Allows you to make your own presets by tweaking built-in filters or saving a set of adjustments as your own custom filter.
- If there are, say, 3 filters that you use all the time, save them each as their own custom presets (without any additional adjustments) and they’ll show up at the very front of your list of filters for easy access at all times.
- Has the perfect no-fuss manual camera mode, with a single exposure slider, to let you get perfectly-exposed shots without having to mess with a bunch of other settings.
- The app automatically opens to either the in-app camera or your photo library, depending on which you last used, to get you quickly to the part where you’re choosing or taking photos.
- Features a brilliantly simple way to take well-exposed flash photos: when you enable the flash, it turns it on and leaves it on until you take the photo, so you can see the effect the flash will have (and adjust exposure if you want) before taking the shot.
- Works in portrait or landscape mode - so if you want to take photos in the app and edit them, you can do so without having to keep changing your phone orientation back and forth.
- You can take photos and have them auto-saved in any filter - just long-press on a filter to enter the in-app camera in auto-filter mode for that filter, and every photo you take will then be automatically filtered and saved to your library.
- There’s no silly and annoying extra step of having to import photos into a separate in-app library - just load and save things directly to and from your camera’s existing photo library.
- The filters are grouped into collapsible sets, so you can hide whole sets of filters you don’t want to worry about.
- Everything in Fotograf is tuned for photo fidelity - from the way the in-app camera takes photos to the bit depth of the adjustments (96-bit), Fotograf’s entire pipeline is engineered for incredibly high fidelity.
- Use our desktop app, CameraBag Photo, to fully craft your own filters using a huge array of adjustment tools, and import them for use in Fotograf.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2022-05-19, version 1.4.1*

Mit der App lassen sich Fotos relativ professionell bearbeiten. Ich habe die App über zehn Jahre auf dem iPhone, nutze sie aber erst seit einem Jahr. Für mich die beste Foto App.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-05-16, version 1.4.1*

One of my favourite apps 🤩

### 1/5 — Problems by importing pictures

*2022-03-03, version 1.4.1*

Lots of issues by importing pictures, it happens 4 out of 5 to have a pixelled picture of some colourful cubes instead Of the picture I was importing. Paid $8 for an app that does not work.

### 5/5 — App Store'daki En İyi Fotoğraf Uygulaması

*2021-04-28, version 1.4.1*

Fotoğraf kalitesini bozmadan ayar yapabilen nadir uygulamalardan biri. En önemli özelliği, diğer uygulamalarda olmayan yüksek renk derinliğiyle çalışmasıdır. Fotoğraflarda ışık ve renk düzenlemeleri yaptığınızda parlak ve koyu alanlardaki renk geçişlerini mükemmel ayarlıyor. Işık patlamıyor, gölgeler aşırı kararmıyor. Hazır filtreleri boş verin, fotoğraflara kendiniz daha güzel ayarlar yapabilirsiniz.

### 5/5 — Lo que necesitas, para salir del apuro.

*2020-07-08, version 1.4.1*

Me gusta porque es básica, te permite sacar provecho a tus fotos y realmente destacable sus funciones. Además de que no es invasiva al momento de usar su versión gratuita. Lo recomiendo.

### 4/5 — 還不錯

*2020-05-13, version 1.4.1*

濾鏡套用很直覺，修改也很方便

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2019-07-13, version 1.4.1*

The app is great when it works. Turns photos into strange digitized garbled lines. Please fix!

### 5/5 — Excelente servicio

*2019-06-20, version 1.4.1*

Muy buena!

### 5/5 — Le joyau photo de l’App Store.

*2019-03-11, version 1.4.1*

Cette appli est juste inimaginablement bonne. La qualité des filtres et la finesse du rendu sont incroyables, et atomisent littéralement VSCO et le reste de la concurrence. Le feeling analogique (même sur les presets 
les plus subtils) est inégalé et ne verse jamais dans l’excès, et si vous importez des photos prises avec un appareil haut de gamme, le rendu et la finesse de la gradation des teintes atteignent des sommets.
On peut chipoter sur un ou deux petits détails ergonomiques mais pour moi ils empêcheraient juste d’atteindre la sixième étoile 😄 du grand art, chapeau bas aux développeurs !

### 5/5 — Update plz

*2018-11-29, version 1.4.1*
