## What is vDarkroom?

vDarkroom brings the complete traditional film darkroom workflow to iPhone — capture, exposure, development, enlargement — striving to recreate an authentic silver-halide
 photography experience.
· Capture: records the raw image in RAW format, preserving the sensor's richest tonal data for reuse.
· Exposure: applies multiple metering modes and assist tools to the captured raw data, exposing your selected film.
· Development: supports multiple developers with fine-tuned parameters, including D-76, Rodinal, DD-X and more, to process the exposed film.
· Enlargement: pure digital output with multiple paper choices, producing the final black-and-white image.
· More: classic film packs (Kodak/Ilford/Retro/Fujifilm), HDR bracketing, B&W filters, multiple metering modes, neutral-gray indicator, lossless PNG export, Chinese, English & Japanese support, and more.
