AlignShot vs RefTake

Align your photos with pinpoint precision using a reference image overlay and create complex compositions in a powerful layer-based editor. AlignShot combines a real-time "Ghost Overlay" camera with an advanced editing canvas. It is the ultimate tool for replicating poses, maintaining consistency in product photography, documenting progress, or creating perfect "before and after" comparisons. ALIGNMENT CAMERA (GHOST CAMERA) Capture the perfect shot using a live visual reference. • Real-Time Overlay: Place any photo (from your gallery or the previous shot) as a semi-transparent guide over the camera view. • Full Gesture Control: Move, scale, and rotate the ghost image with two fingers to match reality exactly. • Adjustable Opacity: Slide to see more or less of the reference (from 5% to 95%). • Precision Tools: 3x3 Grid (Rule of Thirds) and Horizon Level for straight photos. • Capture Modes: Timer (3s/10s), visual flash, and haptic feedback. CANVAS AND LAYER EDITOR Take your photos further with a complete non-destructive editor. • Layer System: Combine multiple images and text in a single project. Reorder, lock, or duplicate with ease. • Blend Modes: Create artistic effects using modes like Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, and Lighten. • Professional Adjustments: Control brightness, contrast, saturation, and opacity per individual layer. • Aesthetic Filters: Apply styles like Sepia, Noir, Fade, Chrome, Instant, and Mono. • Flexible Formats: Canvases adapted for social media (1:1, 4:3, 9:16 Story, 16:9). AI MAGIC & PRO TOOLS • AI Background Removal: Automatically remove the background from any photo to integrate it into new scenes or create stickers (Pro Feature). • Unlimited Import: Add as many photos as you need to your canvas. PROJECT MANAGEMENT • Non-Destructive Editing: Your projects are saved locally. You can reopen them, move layers, or change text at any time. • Fast Workflow: Switch from Camera to Canvas automatically or start a project from the Gallery. TYPICAL USE CASES • Before/After Comparisons (Fitness, renovations, art). • Consistent Product Photography for catalogs. • Recreating old photos in the exact same spot. • Manual Stop Motion and Time-lapse. • Creative collages and photomontages. PRIVACY AND DESIGN • 100% Private: All processing is done locally on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to external servers. • Clean Experience: Modern native-style design, Dark Mode support, and no intrusive ads. --- Legal Information: This app uses the Apple Standard End User License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://sites.google.com/view/overlaycameraprivacy/home

Play your voice recording and film yourself acting it out — all on one iPhone. RefTake is made for animators who act out their shots — record your reference, auto-split it into takes, review, and export. You know how shooting reference usually goes: your computer plays the voice recording while your phone films you, so you're stuck juggling two devices. Then comes the hunt for the take you actually want — back and forth through that one long recording, or endless digging through millions of short ones. And before it's any use, you're bouncing through another app just to get a format your 3D software will accept. RefTake pulls all of it into one workflow — just shoot, review, and export, all on the same device. CAPTURE - Drop your storyboard on screen while you film, and drag it wherever it's easiest to work from as a guide. - Play your audio through the speaker or your headphones so you can hit your timing, blocking, and movement. ORGANIZE - Lay things out like a real production: project, sequence, shot. - Tag and note your takes so you actually remember which was which. - Keep your reference footage out of your camera roll — it lives in RefTake, separate from your family photos and videos. - Select exactly the takes you want, then export, delete, or compare them in one go. REVIEW & RATE - Auto-split one long recording into separate takes so you can flip through and find the keeper faster. - Give each take 1 to 5 stars, and swipe or tap through them as you review — star the good ones and filter out the rest. - Compare two takes of a shot on one screen, frame-locked on a single transport. Pinch to zoom in on both at once, or on each pane alone. EXPORT & SHARE - Export takes as MOV video or JPEG image sequences — any shot, any project, as often as you like, at full quality with no watermark. - Name your exports however you work: project, sequence, shot, take, tag, and note — no more "IMG_####.mov" clips. - Send them out through the share sheet, or save them straight to Files. PRO — SPEED UP YOUR REFERENCE WORKFLOW EVEN MORE - Remove the background and export PNG image sequences with an alpha channel — keep your reference simple and clear. - Save your export settings as presets — set your format, delivery, and options once, and every export after that is one tap. - Save to Project Folder: skip the share sheet and land every export in your production folder with one tap, correctly named. PRIVACY & SECURITY - Background removal happens right on your device — your footage never leaves your phone. - Your projects and footage stay on your device. We don't track you or collect your personal data. RefTake is free to download, and the free plan is the whole creative app, not a demo. Record, auto-split, rate, tag, organize, compare, and review without limits — and export MOV or JPEG sequences from any shot in any project, as often as you like. RefTake Pro speeds up your workflow: PNG sequences with alpha, saved export presets, and delivery straight into your project folder. Monthly, annual, or a one-time buy. Built for animators — and anyone who works from reference. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
