Do you miss your old darkroom or ever wanted to try one yourself? Analogue is the first app where you truly go analog. By developing your photos as one did in a real darkroom, you will learn to see and understand what makes a great photo. DARKROOM For the first time you will develop the negative in a real darkroom. In a fun and intuitive way you will pick the strip that has the best time and contrast. And just like a real darkroom, you can make parts of the image brighter and darker by blocking or adding more light to the image. You will be presented in a very easy way with lots of tutorials on how to use the tools. The images will only be in black and white (but you may tone them). DARKROOM FEATURES + Develop either your images from your camera-roll or taken by the Large-Format camera + Only Black & White + Stripes - As in a real darkroom you'll have to find the best strip. It will be challenging, fun and very powerful + Crop / Rotate - Both crop and rotate the image in the same tool + Dodge - Make a selected part of the image brighter. + Burn - Make a selected part of the image darker + Blur - Enhance the background with some beautiful blurriness. + Tone - Tone the images with various strength. The toners that can be used are Selenium, Cyanotype and Sepia. + Layers - You can add as many effects as you want. Each effect will be treated as a layer that can be edited, deleted and changed its visibility. + Zoom - You can zoom the image ten times. This will make it really easy to make the detailed work. + Metal - Analogue uses Metal, the drawing is fast and very fluid. CAMERA By shooting with a large-format camera where the image is upside-down you will actually get more control over the image. The camera is only manual and back in the old days you could not even zoom with the camera, you had to walk. You will be forced to slow down the process and by doing so, your photographs will be so much better. At first it may feel a bit odd to look at the upside-down image and it can even be a bit challanging to know if you should move the camera to the left or right when framing the image. Sometimes you will even laugh at yourself, but the more you use it, the less you will even have to think about it. MORE CAMERA-MODELS Analogue has now added two more camera-models. + Medium-format which will produce a square image and just as the large-format camera it is manual. + Pinhole camera which is a real basic camera where you pretty much only shoot at what you see. Nothing to set up with, nor zoom. CAMERA FEATURES + Manual - Just as in a real old analog camera, it is only manual + Shutter / ISO - You will set these individually + Focus - With a beautiful crafted loupe, you will get full control over the sharpness + Tilt / Shift - Just as a large-format camera you will be able to straight up any lines + 4x5" - The negative's size will be in the 4x5-ratio as the most popular large-format camera does DIGITAL NEGATIVE For the first time, you can produce real digital negatives for your darkroom. Analogue will make it possible to print the images in 35-mm, 6x4.5, 6x6, 4x5" or 8x10" sizes. EXAMPLES Download free examples and view them in the darkroom to understand how to fully use the darkroom to its best. SHARE You can naturally share both the negatives and prints. You can optimize the resolution to lots of social media's sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter Tag your photos with #analogueapp on instagram See what type of beautiful images that can be made at https://www.instagram.com/miiamapps/ SUPPORT We are eager to hear from you.
