Holl Cam does one thing, deliberately: it puts color looks โ€” including your own LUTs โ€” on a mechanical dial, and gets out of your way. BRING YOUR OWN LUTS Most apps in this space lock you into their built-in presets. Holl Cam is open: import any industry-standard .cube LUT โ€” from a colorist you follow, a film-emulation pack you bought, or one you built yourself โ€” and it becomes a camera on the dial, right next to the originals. Same click, same speed. A DIAL, NOT A TOOLBOX No filter grids. No tab after tab of editing tools. One tactile wheel: spin it and each look clicks into place with a real mechanical thud, landing on your photo the same instant. Switching looks is a flick of the thumb โ€” audition ten LUTs in ten seconds. TWO CONTROLS. THAT'S THE POINT. Choose the look. Drag on the photo to set its intensity. That's the entire app โ€” no confusing tool stacks between you and the picture. โ€ข Press and hold to compare with the original โ€ข Keep the looks you love in Favorites, always on the ring โ€ข Every edit saved automatically to your gallery โ€ข 130+ original looks created for Holl Cam across CLASSIC, CINEMA, CITY, MOOD, and MONO โ€” available nowhere else PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your photos never leave your phone โ€” ever. ONE PRICE, FOREVER 25 looks are free, and LUTs you import are always free. A single one-time purchase unlocks the full collection โ€” including every look we add next. No subscription. Terms of Use: https://hollcam.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://hollcam.com/privacy

Retro Camera 1960 turns your iPhone into a film camera from another era. Each film is built on color-accurate 3D LUTs โ€” the same color science used in professional grading โ€” combined with real film grain, halation, and vignette. Not a one-tap filter. Choose from over 20 film simulations spanning vivid slide film, faded negatives, and grainy high-speed black and white, each tuned to match the character of the stock that inspired it. FEATURES โ€ข Color-accurate 3D LUT film emulation, not a one-tap filter โ€ข 20+ film simulations (slide, negative, black & white, cinema) โ€ข Switch between wide, standard, and telephoto lenses โ€ข Retro 7-segment date stamp burned into every photo โ€ข GPS location embedded in EXIF (optional, can be turned off) โ€ข Save the unedited original alongside the filtered photo No settings to fuss over.
