Always Cam vs vDarkroom

Always Cam features an always-on viewfinder, even while reviewing a photo, so you never miss a moment. Instead of pinch to zoom, one-touch anywhere on the photo for a 100% view, handy for checking blur, etc. Framing with a small viewfinder actually helps with composition, so your shots will look more professional.

vDarkroom moves the complete traditional darkroom workflow — capture, exposure, development, enlargement — to iPhone, in pursuit of a faithful silver-halide experience. · Capture: record RAW (Bayer RAW 14-bit / Apple ProRAW) to retain the sensor's fullest tonal data for reuse downstream. Supports physical aperture stops on the iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max main lens (f/1.48 · 1.8 · 2.8 · 4.0). · Exposure: meter the captured data with zone, centre-weighted or spot metering, then expose the selected film; a graduated ND filter and black-and-white contrast filters are also available. · Development: six developers (D-76, Rodinal, HC-110, Microphen, DD-X and more) with fine adjustment of temperature, time and agitation. · Enlargement: ten papers and processes (silver-gelatin RC/FB, cyanotype, platinum, vandyke, salt, multi-coat gum, digital), with multigrade contrast, enlarger aperture and exposure time, and a round black card for local burn and dodge. · More: 25 classic films, bracketed HDR, neutral-grey marker, 8K and lossless PNG export, silver-halide grain model. Free features: HEIF capture, 1080P/2K export, JPG, three metering modes, six developers, four films, silver-gelatin papers and cyanotype.
