Slow Shutter Cam brings new life into your device's photo toolbox by letting you capture a variety of amazing slow shutter speed effects that you only thought you could get with a DSLR. Continue reading to learn more about this unique app! ----------------------- • Featured numerous times by Apple: - App Store Essentials: Camera & Photography - Photography for Professionals - Total Control - Extraordinary Photo Apps - Best New App ----------------------- "It’s one of those rare photography apps that creates effects that few others are capable of, and it does it easily and with better results." — Marty Yawnick, Life In LoFi ----------------------- How many times have you tried to capture artful images with your iPhone camera but were left wishing you had more features to work with? Slow Shutter Cam puts an end to mere snapshots and gives you some of the most powerful features of a DSLR camera. All this, in a package that fits in your pocket. Slow Shutter Cam offers three capture modes to capture unique images: MOTION BLUR: Equivalent to the shutter priority mode on a DSLR, the Motion Blur mode is perfect for creating ghost images, waterfall effects or suggesting movement in your photographs by adding a blur. LIGHT TRAIL: The Light Trail mode allows you to 'paint' with light, show car light trails and fireworks or capture any other moving light in a unique way. Unlike shooting with a DSLR and being tied to specific rigid settings to obtain good results, the Light Trail mode takes care of the essentials, letting your creativity soar! LOW LIGHT: In low light conditions, this capture mode allows the camera to accumulate every photon of light hitting the sensor. The longer the shutter speed, the more light it will accumulate. You can even fine-tune the result using the exposure compensation slider to achieve the exact effect you want! Highlights: • Unlimited Shutter Speed and manual ISO • Option to resume capture and create multiple exposure photos • Real time live preview - See the result in real time • Innovative 'Freeze' and ‘Blur Strength’ controls • Tap to adjust focus/exposure • Time-lapse Intervalometer • Apple Watch support and handy Self-Timer • Full resolution support on every devices • Camera Control support (iPhone 16) With Slow Shutter Cam on your iPhone you get the features of a DSLR camera with the convenience of a device that you can drop in your pocket and take with you wherever you go.

長時間曝光以前要腳架、要減光鏡、還要算快門。BlurStack 讓你跳過這些——你相簿裡的原況照片,本身就是一段幾秒鐘的連續影像,把它們疊起來,就是一張長曝光。 【怎麼用】 1. 從相簿選一張原況照片 2. 拖曳時間軸掐頭去尾,決定要用哪一段 3. 逐幀檢視,把手震、有路人亂入的畫面排除掉 4. 選擇合成模式,即時預覽 5. 儲存回相簿 【兩種合成模式】 - 平均 — 把所有影格取平均。適合流水、瀑布、雲、人潮:移動的東西化成柔順的絲狀,靜止的部分同時變得更乾淨、雜訊更少。 - 取亮 — 每個像素只保留最亮的一次。適合車燈軌跡、光繪、煙火、夜間光點:亮的軌跡會完整疊加保留,不會被暗部稀釋。 【接續內建長曝光,補上缺的那一段】 相簿內建的長曝光效果按一下就有,很方便,但它是全自動的:整段影片一律拿去平均,你不能挑範圍、不能剔除某一幀,也只有那一種疊法。於是常遇到—— - 想留車燈軌跡,光軌卻被大量沒有車經過的暗幀稀釋,成品又淡又灰 - 前半段還沒站穩、或最後手一抖,整張跟著糊,卻沒辦法只保留中間穩定的那一段 - 有路人剛好走過鏡頭,整張就報銷 - 只想要浪打上礁石的那 1.5 秒,它卻硬是把全部秒數都用上 BlurStack 把這些決定權交還給你: - 取亮模式 — 每個像素只保留最亮的一次,光軌、煙火、光繪完整疊加,不會被暗部拉灰 - 範圍選取 — 時間軸兩端自由裁切,只用你要的那一段 - 逐幀排除 — 手震、亂入、失焦的影格,點一下就踢掉 同一張原況照片,內建效果給你一個結果,BlurStack 給你一整組可能。 【為什麼用原況照片】 你不需要為了長曝光重新出門一趟。過去幾年拍下的原況照片全都是現成素材,翻一翻相簿,隨手一張夜景或溪流可能就藏著一張作品。 【逐幀控制,不是一鍵套用】 時間軸上每一幀都有縮圖。手震的、有人走過的、對焦跑掉的,點一下就排除,剩下的才會進入合成。你決定這張長曝光由哪些瞬間組成。 【隱私】 所有處理都在你的裝置上完成。BlurStack 不會上傳你的照片,不需要網路連線,也不收集任何個人資料。選取照片走系統選取器,不需要完整相簿讀取權限;App 只要求「加入照片」權限,用來把成品存回相簿。 【免費版與 BlurStack Pro】 免費版即可使用完整的時間軸編輯與兩種合成模式,限制為: - 每日 3 次合成 - 輸出長邊上限 2048 像素 - 輸出檔案不含原始拍攝資訊(EXIF) 升級 BlurStack Pro 解除限制: - 無限次合成 - 以原況照片的原生解析度輸出 - 保留原始拍攝資訊(EXIF) BlurStack Pro 為一次性買斷,非訂閱制,不會自動續訂,也不會定期扣款。購買後可在使用同一 Apple 帳號的裝置上以「恢復購買」取回。 【使用建議】 合成時不會自動對位影格,因此拍攝當下請盡量拿穩相機或靠著固定物,素材愈穩定,合成結果愈銳利。輸出畫布會放大到原況照片靜態幀的尺寸,實際清晰度仍取決於配對影片本身的解析度。 隱私權政策:https://gridfixapp.com/blurstack/policy/ 使用條款(Apple 標準 EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
