ICM Photo Forge transforms still photos into expressive motion-blur artwork inspired by intentional camera movement photography. Choose a photo, select a motion effect, and shape the result with simple controls for movement, ghost frames, softness, subject hold, exposure, color, and contrast. The live preview updates as you work, making it easy to explore painterly blur, abstract trails, radial motion, noir smears, light leaks, and soft watercolor-style motion. Crop directly on the image with draggable handles, then save only the composition you want. Motion effects are rendered from the crop itself, so effects such as Radial Swirl, Zoom Bloom, and Umbrella Spin are centered within the selected crop rather than the full source image. Features: - Import photos from your Photos Library - Live ICM-style rendering preview - Crop directly on the image with draggable corner handles - Crop-aware rendering so effects operate from the selected crop area - Optional second image for Double Echo with adjustable mix control - Second images are aspect-filled into the crop so mismatched orientations are not squeezed - Long-press the photo to compare the original and rendered version - Motion effects including Street Ghost, Umbrella Spin, Vertical Rain, Zoom Bloom, Quiet Noir, Brush Stroke, S-Curve Drift, Radial Swirl, Pan Follow, Double Echo, Crosshatch, Light Leak, Noir Smear, Watercolor, and Tilted Drag - Fine-tune movement, ghost frames, softness, subject clarity, exposure, color, and contrast - Undo recent tuning changes or reset the current effect - Export as JPEG or PNG - Preview reflects the selected export format - Export quality choices for Fast, High, or Original rendering - Smaller exports are upscaled to 4096 pixels on the longest side - Larger exports are preserved and are not downsized - Save finished artwork directly to Photos - Built-in About page explaining each effect and control - Designed for iPhone and iPad ICM Photo Forge is made for photographers, artists, and curious image-makers who want to experiment with motion, blur, rhythm, and abstraction from photos they already have.

Film doesn’t write EXIF. Your lab scans come back anonymous. Digital cameras stamp every frame with camera, lens, shutter, aperture, and time. Film does none of that — so Lightroom and Photos have no idea what body, lens, or exposure made the shot Edgeprint is the missing link: meter and log while you shoot, then match lab scans to that log and export files labeled like digital. YOUR COMPANION FOR SHOOTING FILM • Meter light for the roll you’re shooting • Log frames in one tap — sticky ISO, shutter, aperture, and lens • Notes, gaps, and optional GPS — incomplete is fine BACK FROM THE LAB • Import lab JPEGs, HEIC, TIFF, or a ZIP • Pair scans to your log (one-drag alignment when the lab is off) • Export tagged JPEGs with real EXIF: camera, lens, exposure, time, GPS, film stock • Originals stay on your device — TIFF/HEIC archive is never overwritten ALSO IN THE APP • Keepers & learn notes • Share contact sheets • Stats across your bag • iCloud log backup (optional device backup) BUILT DIFFERENTLY • No subscription · No ads · Local-first • Works in airplane mode • On your device — no account, no upload iOS first. Edgeprint — EXIF for film.
