About

Labe Editor

Read full description

Labe turns everyday photographs into considered editorial images, with a curated library of film, retro and analog effects that carry the texture and character of real media rather than the polish of an ordinary filter. SHUFFLE At the heart of Labe is Shuffle, a single button that reads the light and color of your photo and composes a complete, art-directed look for it, so you can keep what works, adjust what does not, and roll again whenever you want to see the image in a new direction. PRESETS YOU CAN TAKE APART Every preset is built from real layers that you can open, reorder, switch off and refine, from grain and halation to signal noise, CRT scanlines and dither, and any stack you shape can be saved as your own look and applied to the next photo in a single tap. CRAFTED CONTROLS Draw tone curves by hand for each channel, place the sharp area of a motion blur exactly where the eye should rest, guide the source of god rays across the frame, crop to the formats you publish in, and press and hold the photo at any moment to compare your edit with the original. REAL PROCESSING, NOT GENERATION Each effect is rendered as live mathematics on the pixels you actually captured, so nothing is invented, the image responds the moment you change a setting, and the result remains the photograph you took. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Labe works entirely on your iPhone and asks for no account, and your photos are never uploaded, never stored on a server and never used to train anything. EXPORT Finished images are rendered in high resolution and saved straight to Photos or shared as JPEG, HEIC or PNG, ready for a campaign, a cover or a feed that looks like no one else's. Labe is free, with every effect and every preset included and no subscription to manage.
