OverCam uses the flow of images captured by your iPhone’s video camera and combines these images in transparency to create an entirely new picture. The assembly of images is done in real-time and seamlessly, producing a shot that features all objects captured in movement. You can choose at what moment the final image is saved—simply by tapping the screen. An integrated viewer enables you to browse through, select, and share different images. • The number of combined images can be modified at all times; use sliders to control your stacks of images and capture speeds. • 4k UHD capture on iPhone 6s and over. • Optional Binary Effect module allows you to create awesome images with extreme contrast. • Optional Posterization Effect module allows you to create images with extreme color saturation. • Optional Black and White module. • An auto-enhance filter has been integrated to automatically improve the quality of your superimpositions. • A selection of frames are available to add to your images. This multiple exposure technique is being used more and more in professional photography, particularly in highly artistic and sports photography. And, for the very first time, you can now do superimposition in REAL-TIME to create high-quality, predictable, and absolutely stunning shots. Photography professionals and amateurs alike will be amazed at OverCam’s results.
