No More Filter: Film Camera

Most filter apps give you a grid of forty looks and leave you to it. This one doesn't. Take a photo and No More Filter reads it first: where the light comes from, how warm it is, which colors win, whether there's a face in it. Then it puts on the look that suits that photo. Out of 35, it lines up six. Not the one? Double-tap. The next look spreads out from wherever your finger landed. Keep going, and after the sixth you get the photo back exactly as you shot it. Press and hold to see the original beside the edit. Slide your finger and the dividing line goes with it. Keep up to three, then save one or all of them at full resolution. A CAMERA THAT ACTS LIKE ONE • A zoom ring around the shutter that clicks at every lens • Drag the viewfinder up or down for exposure, in third stops • Hold anywhere to lock focus and exposure • Background blur at ƒ4, ƒ2.8 or ƒ1.8, live before you shoot • 3:4, 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16 • A grid, and a level that turns pearl when you're straight • Turn the phone sideways and the photo comes out landscape • Flash: off, auto, on Shot it already? Open any photo from your library. Same thing happens. 35 LOOKS, NOTHING TO SCROLL Warm film stocks, slide film, silver black and white, colors washed out like fog, neon nights, and one that looks like it came off a phone that still had a home button. Each has a name and one line about what it does. IT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Reading, editing and saving all happen on your iPhone. No account, no uploads, no analytics. The app asks to add photos to your library, never to read it. Saved photos carry no location data.
