AlignShot

Read full description

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. β€’ Real-Time Overlay: Place any photo (from your gallery or the previous shot) as a semi-transparent guide over the camera view. β€’ Full Gesture Control: Move, scale, and rotate the ghost image with two fingers to match reality exactly. β€’ Adjustable Opacity: Slide to see more or less of the reference (from 5% to 95%). β€’ Precision Tools: 3x3 Grid (Rule of Thirds) and Horizon Level for straight photos. β€’ Capture Modes: Timer (3s/10s), visual flash, and haptic feedback. CANVAS AND LAYER EDITOR Take your photos further with a complete non-destructive editor. β€’ Layer System: Combine multiple images and text in a single project. Reorder, lock, or duplicate with ease. β€’ Blend Modes: Create artistic effects using modes like Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, and Lighten. β€’ Professional Adjustments: Control brightness, contrast, saturation, and opacity per individual layer. β€’ Aesthetic Filters: Apply styles like Sepia, Noir, Fade, Chrome, Instant, and Mono. β€’ Flexible Formats: Canvases adapted for social media (1:1, 4:3, 9:16 Story, 16:9). AI MAGIC & PRO TOOLS β€’ AI Background Removal: Automatically remove the background from any photo to integrate it into new scenes or create stickers (Pro Feature). β€’ Unlimited Import: Add as many photos as you need to your canvas. PROJECT MANAGEMENT β€’ Non-Destructive Editing: Your projects are saved locally. You can reopen them, move layers, or change text at any time. β€’ Fast Workflow: Switch from Camera to Canvas automatically or start a project from the Gallery. TYPICAL USE CASES β€’ Before/After Comparisons (Fitness, renovations, art). β€’ Consistent Product Photography for catalogs. β€’ Recreating old photos in the exact same spot. β€’ Manual Stop Motion and Time-lapse. β€’ Creative collages and photomontages. PRIVACY AND DESIGN β€’ 100% Private: All processing is done locally on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to external servers. β€’ 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

Recreate the photo you have in mind. SaveMe is a camera built for matching a reference shot. Save a photo you love - a Pinterest find, a pose from a friend's feed, a place you want to remember the same way - import it, and SaveMe lays it over the live viewfinder as a translucent ghost. Line your subject up to the guide and shoot. Whoever is holding the phone can match the angle, framing, and pose you actually want, instead of guessing. It feels like the camera you already know. - Swipe between Full Body, Half Body, and Seated modes, like the built-in Camera. - The framed viewport Auto-matches your reference's aspect and orientation, or pick 4:3, 16:9, or 1:1. - Floating zoom, a clean shutter, and a last-shot thumbnail to jump back to what you just took. - A soft rule-of-thirds grid and a level indicator help you keep it straight. Get the shot, then keep the best one. - Each tap fires a quick burst and surfaces the strongest frames, so you are not scrolling through near-duplicates. - Fine-tune with simple sliders - brightness, shadows, contrast, vibrance, sharpness - plus fade and grain. Long-press to peek at the original; reset returns to the auto-tuned start. Everything renders locally. Private by design. - Photo capture, scoring, and editing all happen on your device. Your photos never leave your phone - no accounts, no photo uploads, no cloud. - SaveMe collects anonymous usage data (via PostHog) to improve the app. It's not linked to your identity, and your photos are never uploaded. You can turn it off in Settings. - The reference overlay is a composition guide only. It stays on your device, is never uploaded, and is never baked into the photo you capture or save. - SaveMe only adds to your photo library - it never reads or changes anything else there. What you will need - iPhone on iOS 17 or later - Camera access to take photos - Photos access (add only) to save the photos you take - Motion access to power the level indicator What's new in 1.3 - The recreation camera now looks and feels like the built-in Camera: a swipeable Full / Half / Seated mode carousel, floating zoom, and a cleaner shutter and bottom bar with a last-shot thumbnail. - The framed viewport Auto-matches your reference photo's aspect and orientation - or pick 4:3, 16:9, or 1:1 - so the ghost overlay lines up with your shot instead of being cropped to a fixed frame.
