## What is Mobile Darkroom?

Mobile Darkroom is a local, non-destructive photo lab for iPhone and iPad. Import JPEG, HEIF, or RAW files, work with desktop-level tools—and keep the original at all times. Everything happens on your device: no account, no cloud, no tracking.

TONAL RANGE & COLOR
• Exposure with a gentle highlight shoulder—raised highlights don’t blow out
• Contrast, highlights, shadows, white point, and black point
• Temperature, tint, dynamics, saturation, and RGB gradation curve
• Selective color correction per color channel

LOCAL CORRECTIONS
• Brush, radial, and gradient masks—each mask with a full set of sliders
• Subject and sky masks, calculated locally on the device
• Repair tool for distracting details

DEPTH & BOKEH
• Depth-of-field blur with selectable aperture shape and bokeh rings
• Uses the embedded depth map from portrait photos—or estimates it locally using AI; you decide
• Set the focus point directly in the image

LENS CHARACTERISTICS
• Six simulated vintage looks: swirling bokeh, soap bubble rings, soft portrait glow, toy camera, anamorphic, and vintage standard
• Distortion, chromatic aberration, vignette, and flare are finely adjustable

ANALOG FINISH
• Optical filter gallery: gradient filter, sepia, diffusion, halation, cross-screen, and more
• Film emulation with grain, halation, and paper characteristics
• Straighten and correct keystoning to fix converging lines

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% processing on the device; works completely offline
• No account, no analytics, no ads
• The original remains untouched—the export is always a new copy

Mobile Darkroom is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
