## What is Stan?

Stan is a handy point-and-shoot camera in your pocket. It allows you to forget about post edits and focus on actually shooting the photos.

Beautifully crafted film effects — Stan is packed with beautiful effects that are applied instantly when you take a photo. The result is ready-to-share photos with fine tuned colours and details.
>> Camera: Ascend — The default, free-to-use camera with vivid and lifelike colours. 
>> Camera: Helix — All-purpose camera with subtly enhanced warmth and centre lighting. The fine-tuned colour palette makes it suitable for shooting landscape, objects and portraits.
>> Camera: Pasca — High-key portrait camera in black and white. The enhanced centre lighting makes your subject pop on the shot.
>> Camera: 55 B — Camera with high contrast and dramatic effects in black and white. By stripping away colour, this camera is great at presenting the structure and texture of the shot. Most suitable for shooting architecture, landscape, and compositions of drama.
>> Camera: Santa Cruz — Vintage camera that shoots photos with enhanced warmth and faded colours. Your shots will resemble the work from the 1960s, yet full of vivid details.
>> Camera: Mini Q 800 — Toy camera with a playful fisheye lens that captures everything in a globe. The low-quality colours makes it easy to create still object shots with unmatched nostalgia. 

Import allowed — import photos from your system camera roll by adding photos to the “Stan” album. You can use the app to apply details and edits to any shots you’ve taken before. 

Packed with technology —
>> iOS Photos Library integration: Stan is fully utilizing the Photos Library and syncs directly to your photo album. Edits, organization, favourites and deleted items are synced to your system album, and stay updated on your other devices if you have iCloud enabled.
>> Non-destructive editing: Edits you make in Stan are fully reversible — uncropped, untouched — even for the photos you take in-app.
>> Geo-tagging: Your photos are geo-tagged so that you can tell — years from now — where you took each shot.
>> HEIC support*: Stan saves photos in the high efficiency image container (HEIC) format. It means much less space to keep your work, and less noticeable artifacts from compression.**

* On supported devices only (that is excluding the iPhone 6s models).
** HEIC is only utilized on the original untouched version of photo, as permitted by iOS.

Another great app from this developer!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent film 🎞 emulations!! I have three camera apps from this developer, and they are all unique and excellent!! They’ve replaced all of my other iOS camera apps. Keep it going!!

One request:  PLEASE bring the filters from HRZN to Stan. The HRZN filters are awesome (so are the FRMD filters).
