About

Rollvane

Features
Read full description

Build a three- or five-frame exposure bracket at a fixed aperture and record the complete sequence after shooting. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Helper and tap Bracket. Enter the subject, lighting, aperture and anchor shutter. 2. Choose three or five frames and inspect the exposure offsets and available roll slots. 3. After taking the shots, explicitly confirm the completed bracket to add its frames to the active roll. Roll logs, the exposure helper, focus, filters and reciprocity references remain available. WHAT TO KNOW Calculated shutter times may not be supported exactly by your camera. Long exposures can require film-specific reciprocity correction. This does not trigger a camera or meter a scene. The complete bracket needs available frame slots; existing frames are preserved. iPhone and iPad.

Then & Now turns any two photos โ€” a "then" and a "now" โ€” into a shareable before/after comparison. Pick a starting photo from your library or take one using the built-in camera, then either choose a matching "now" photo or use the camera, which overlays a live ghost image of your original shot so you can line up the exact same framing. Once you've got both photos, compare them two ways: a classic side-by-side view with editable labels, or an interactive slider you drag to reveal the transformation. Name your comparisons and save them right in the app to build a library you can revisit anytime โ€” perfect for tracking renovations, fitness progress, garden growth, and more! When you're happy with a comparison, download it straight to your Photos library or share it instantly via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, and more. Features: โ€ข Camera overlay for perfectly aligned "now" shots โ€ข Two comparison styles: side-by-side and interactive slider โ€ข Editable photo labels โ€ข Save comparisons in-app with custom titles โ€ข Export to Photos or share anywhere โ€ข Simple, clean interface โ€” no accounts, no ads, no clutter. โ€ข Completely FREE
