Artcam vs Paper Press

Art Effect Camera is an app that transforms your photos and images into artistic masterpieces in an instant. It offers five unique effects: oil painting, watercolor, posterization, monochrome, and sepia. You can edit both newly captured and existing images freely. The intuitive UI allows easy application of filters, making your photos look like they were painted by a professional artist. In camera mode, real-time preview lets you see the effects before capturing your photo. The app is simple to use, with adjustable filter intensity. Turn your photos into stunning works of art and explore new creative expressions.

Put anything on the front page. PAPER PRESS is a camera that prints. Point it at your dog, your lunch or your roommate, and the viewfinder already shows a newspaper front page or a wanted poster: halftone dots, real ink colors, warm paper. FRONT PAGE A masthead, today's date, a headline and your photo. Write your own headline ("LOCAL DOG WINS EVERYTHING") or keep the one that's there. You can rename the newspaper, too. WANTED A classic wanted poster: a big title, a framed photo, a name and a reward. Made for pets, siblings and snack thieves. THREE PRESSES NEWSPRINT — charcoal ink on warm off-white paper, with bold dots like a local paper. MONO — a finer, cleaner black-and-white press for portraits and buildings. COLOR — two inks, blue and red, printed on top of each other. Where they overlap, you get the shadows. Every press works with every page. Or pick PLAIN and print the photo edge to edge. SEE IT BEFORE YOU SHOOT The viewfinder shows the finished page, and that's exactly what gets saved. No sliders, no surprises. GOT A PHOTO ALREADY? Pick one from your library and run it through the press. FULL RESOLUTION, NO WATERMARK Save or share at the original size. Zoom in and the dots are still there. The newspaper's name at the top is yours to change. PRIVATE Everything happens on your device. Your photos never leave your phone. No account, no cloud, no uploads. WHY IT LOOKS PRINTED Most print effects lay a dot pattern over the image. PAPER PRESS works in the order a real press does: tone first, then screen, then ink, then paper. PAPER PRESS is free and supported by ads. Everything is included, with no in-app purchases and no limits. A short full-screen ad plays after you shoot, before your print appears. There are no ads over the camera, the printing screen, or your finished photo.
