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.

Your photo, freshly printed. PRINT DOT is a small print shop for your photos. The halftone dots you see up close, the color plates sitting slightly off register, the way ink sinks into paper: PRINT DOT rebuilds that feel on top of a picture you already have. ■ Eight dot styles Fine Dot for a delicate screen. Bold Dot for big, poppy dots. Newspaper Dot for coarse monochrome. CMYK Dot for overlapping plates and misregistration. Soft Fade Dot for a gentle bleed. Grain Dot for film-like texture. Line Screen Dot for a poster look. Mono Ink Dot for one clean ink. The same photo comes out differently in every one. ■ Choose the ink Eleven ink palettes, including Vintage Red, Café Brown, Ocean Blue and Mono Black. Quiet one- and two-color runs, or something loud and neon. ■ Choose the paper Seven paper textures: smooth, rough, matte, recycled, newsprint, kraft and aged. Each one changes how the ink settles. ■ Tune it by hand Dot size, screen angle, contrast, ink bleed, paper character. Move the sliders until it looks right, and compare against the original photo at any time. ■ Keep your prints Saved work lines up in the in-app gallery. Favorite it, export it to Photos, or share it straight from there. ■ Everything stays on your iPhone All rendering happens on your device. Your photos are never uploaded. No account, no sign-in, and it works in airplane mode. ■ What's free Four dot styles, five inks and three papers. Pick a photo, adjust it and save it without paying anything. ■ PRINT DOT Premium (one-time purchase) One purchase unlocks all of this: · All eight dot styles · All eleven ink palettes · All seven paper textures · Export at a larger size · No watermark on your work It is not a subscription. You pay once, and on the same Apple ID you can bring it back with Restore Purchases after switching devices.
