Camare is a creative photography app with unique image filters you can combine to take photos. You can creatively take single, dual, or multiexposure photographs like no other apps. It is the first to provide program cards for storage and files but also to use with all compatible photo apps. App includes by default 17 creative filters (Nerve, Dolce, Bewi, Sqare, Booty, Geoh, Ouibak, Moop, Dnaz, Semi, Morkmall, Habaen, Bomber Baba, Herate, Gulbul, Karbad Bob, Cainswoe), 10 film-sensor simulations, and 12 border-framing filters. In-app packages are available and offer multiple extra combinations of filters and user interface skins. They enable me to focus more on the app development and of its functionalities. There is also an experimental editor / post-processor, still in its infancy but offers myriads of creative results. This app was originally developed for my personal experimental photographic works and is constantly being updated: an app from a photographer for photographers. It also lets you use more than one lens at once for dualphotography or multiphotography. Its tens of creative filters are of three types you can combine to your desired effect: - input saturators (aka insaturators) - frame and skins (aka frameskins) - film simulators (aka filmulators) You can also modulate them using the easily accessible color-coded variator. Once taken, the basic whole-screen editor lets you rerender the last photograph with a new filter combination. Image aspect ratios can be changed at capture or at output and you can save three presets for your future shots.

Simply use the brush tool to apply light or heavy amounts of blur effect to any portion of your photo - foreground, background and mid-ground. Adjust the brush size and intensity. And select from a number of brush shapes from the editor for fine picture control. Vasoline Lens is inspired by soft focus, a lens flaw, in which the lens forms images that are blurred. To recreate this effect people would smear petroleum jelly on a clear filter or on the front element or even the back element of the lens itself. Messy times!
