See your progress clearly. ProgressCam lines up every new photo with your starting photo, so your before-and-after photos actually match ā same angle, same framing, real change you can see. Most progress photos drift: a little closer, a little higher, a slightly different angle ā and suddenly you can't tell what really changed. ProgressCam fixes that at capture time. A ghost of your starting photo sits right in the camera, so you can stand in exactly the same spot and shoot a frame that matches it.
