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.

Dottre turns photographs into simulated CMYK halftone prints. Split images into Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Adjust dots, density and registration. Experiment with paper stocks, and use Portrait depth to separate subjects from their backgrounds before printing. Built for photographers, designers and printmakers. WORK IN DOTS, NOT PIXELS Every image is rebuilt from halftone dots. * Control dot size and density. * Create clean screens or heavy print textures. * Shape contrast through the printing process. THINK IN PLATES Build the image one plate at a time. * View or isolate CMYK channels. * Print in colour, mono or negative. * Decide how each plate contributes. PERFECT IS OPTIONAL Real print is rarely perfect. * Offset channels. * Introduce registration drift. * Create subtle movement or bold separation. BRING THE SUBJECT FORWARD Portrait photos can use depth information to separate subjects from the background. * Isolate people naturally. * Print onto coloured or textured paper. * Create bold poster-style compositions. CHOOSE YOUR SURFACE Print onto more than white paper. * Newsprint * Kraft * Matte * Fine Art * Custom colours MADE FOR PRINT Create posters, zines, artwork and experimental graphics. Because sometimes the print is more interesting than the photograph.
