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.

PACam turns your iPhone into a point-and-shoot 35mm camera. It's a film emulation built around the one thing digital photography took away: you don't get to see the picture. Pick a film stock. Load it. Then shoot the whole roll, and see nothing until you do. No preview, no deleting the bad ones as you go. When the last frame lands, the roll winds back into its cartridge, goes through the developing room, and comes out as a stack of prints you can finally look at. EMULATION, NOT FILTERS Every stock is a full colour pipeline, not a filter laid over a finished photo. Grain, halation, highlight roll-off and colour response are modelled into how the frame is rendered, so the same scene reads differently on each stock, the way it would on different film. PHOTO BOOTH Front camera, auto-timer, and a printed strip at the end. One shot, three, or five. SHARE IT LIKE A PRINT Classic 35mm-style date stamps in any colour, corner and orientation. Film-box stickers. Collages built from any of your rolls, sized for Stories or the feed. FREE, FOREVER Pac Gold 200 with unlimited 16-exposure rolls. Photo Booth on Pac Gold. Three free test rolls to try any premium stock, and the shots are yours to keep. Then one free 16-exposure roll of the stock you liked best.
