Cat Scan

Mr Grote has the capabilities to create a brand new type of camera app. The shutter button (volume button?) would trigger a sound that captures the attention of cats and dogs.
An instant AFTER grabbing the pet’s attention, the shutter snaps. The pet is therefore looking right into the camera when the portrait photo is taken.
The next sound the pet hears from iPhone camera would be different from the first, as pets get bored easily. Literally, the same sound twice no longer captures their interest.
A cutesy UI might appeal to general end users, but pro photographers need to take photos of pets too. Hence, RAW support and manual exposure and vignette and square aspect ratio are good ideas.
Please make this dream a reality.

Neat idea but needs work

I like the idea of this app but for me it doesn’t cut it. A file size of 768 x 1024 pixels isn’t acceptable in this day and age. It also doesn’t seem to work correctly with an iPhone 14 Pro. The image quality looks a little soft and the masking seems funky in spots. For now I’ll stick with my actual large format cameras and vintage lenses, or just using photoshop to achieve the look.

软件模拟效果不错

如题。功能比较单一,效果不错。如果能加入蒙版控制就完美了。现在怎么不能用了?闪退!

Stopped working

iOS 14.8 or whatever the final 14.xx is for iPhone 12 max pro. The app doesn’t function properly. Turn off depth and it freezes for 15-20 seconds before going back to the main title/option screen. When it does tak a photo there isn’t a visible effect bokeh or otherwise. My normal camera can do all of that without crashing. Portrait mode does bokeh as well if you go in and adjust the f-stop down to 4 or below. There isn’t a need for this app that doesn’t work on the newer phones. If you still have a 6S that works, that was the phone I got this app for.

好用但是闪退

Great.

Despite of such high price for one single effect, I ‘m really enjoying this app. I hope saved photos are high resolution ..

Really enjoying this app

Super effects in an interesting variety of colours

Great app

This app is so awesome and I can take old time pictures without having to buy the real thing and I love how I can take old time pictures and share them with friends and family and I would strongly recommend this app to anyone who loves to take old time pictures.

效果差强人意

最好别买,实在不行打折或者等限免,体验下就好……还有怎么申请退款

とても使いやすい。

iPhoneの標準のカメラではある程度近くに被写体が無いとDepth情報を保存しているのにぼかしてくれないことがあるが、このアプリを使えば深度を自由に調整できるのでとてもよい。また、ボケ味も昔のフィルムカメラのようでチルトボケもあってよい。

要望として、背景のぼかしのみならず前景ぼかしも追加してもしい

Great app

Works very well,

Does a beautiful job

Update: the app will save at about 10mp if yo use the Save icon in the upper right corner, and select save. If you chose More and use the save image icon in Share menu, you get the 2.8 mp save. Not sure why. Love this app, it mimics the Helios 44-2 and the Petzval style of swirling bokeh. Very realistic.

Original Review: I really like the effect created by the app. It does a terrific job of mimicking my old Russian lenses that produce that same swirling bokeh. With plenty of on-board editing controls, it makes for a pleasant editing experience. The only serious (fatal) flaw for me is the terrible output resolution. I get only about 2.8mp after starting with a 20mp image. This is just unacceptable with today's hi-res images, even iDevice cameras are capturing images in the 8-12mp range. This needs to be fixed for this app to compete.

More than one thing.

The actual swirly bokeh is not the only significant feature of this app. It also has 'negative' which partially reverses the image giving an effect much like that of solarizing a negative-think of Man Ray's portraits. It has a slider which increases the range of tones that are reversed, proceeding from the darkest tones to the mid tones.

気にいってます

とても雰囲気のある写真が撮れます。動作も安定しています。(iOS 10)

Wow!!

Sometimes there is an app that really hits the mark of simulation!! This one does that!! Great job developer!! Makes me want to pull out the old 8x10 and my Ross of London lens from 1800’s and shoot with it again:)

Crashes

Won't open.

CAN'T EVEN GET PAST SWRLY NOW...JUST CRASHES AND WON'T OPEN

Response from developer

We're looking into this and hope to have a fix soon.

Exactly what I was looking for!

This app is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wanted that swirly bokeh effect and I finally got it! I was searching for it for a long time. Thank you for creating this.

I will be recommending this app to my friends!!

It isn't work.
