Mono Lab vs Masters Eye

Mono Lab is designed for exploring the unexpected. Experiment with images in black and white. From subtle relief to structural collapse, topology drift, mesh warps, fracture effects, misregistration, and controlled instability, every tool is built for focused experimentation. Responsive. Direct. Tactile. // Interactive Filters (X) Distortion that responds to you. Shift the image through movement and contact. Tilt to bend structure. Rotate to redirect tension. Touch to anchor, drag to stretch, hold to resist. Each gesture leaves a trace. Each motion reshapes the result. // 3D Surface Mode A dimensional approach to distortion. Map images across 12 surfaces and interpret them through 13 lenses. Adjust depth. Refine spatial tension. Each surface behaves differently. Each lens reshapes the outcome. Monochromatic. Structure, tone, dimension, possibility. What You Can Do • 158 filters for black and white distortion • Touch and motion control transformations • 12 surfaces. 13 lenses • Press, drag, and hold to reshape the image like a surface • Refine light, contrast, and structure • Warp topology and form • Collapse, fracture, and distort • Create raster and vector outputs • Build layered misregistrations • Adjust pressure, grain, and tone • Stack transformations • Save your favorite filters to the Index • Save directly to Files Mono Lab is for designers, artists, photographers, illustrators, and visual experimenters working in black and white.

Masters Eye is a focused reference study app for artists who want to draw and paint with stronger structure, clearer values, and better decision making. One-time purchase. No subscription. Import a reference photo and switch through purpose-built Study Modes to simplify what you see: • Values: Group complex references into readable value masses • Squint: Reduce visual noise to see big relationships faster • Pencil: Translate references into practical tonal steps • Notan: Test light/shadow design and composition clarity • Proportions: Check alignment, spacing, and shape relationships • Original: Instantly compare against the untouched reference Built for deliberate practice, not distraction: • Fast mode switching for targeted observation drills • Split and compare workflow for quick visual checks • Save results to your Photos library when you choose Privacy-first by design: • Image processing happens on-device • No accounts required • No ad tracking Whether you’re studying portraits, still life, or landscapes, Master’s Eye helps you simplify references and make better artistic decisions with confidence.
