That Summer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Shoot with the camera you had that summer. Fifteen cameras from the 90s and 2000s, recreated as they really looked: six old phone cameras (from a 0.3 MP flip phone to an 8 MP full-touch phone) and nine more from beyond the phone β a film camera, a disposable, an instant camera, a toy camera, a camcorder, a point-and-shoot, a PC webcam, a DV camcorder and a CCTV. Yellow tints under fluorescent light, photos that smear when your hand shakes, faces blown out by the flash. Date stamps and shutter sounds differ by camera. The phones β’ First Phone Cam β yellow and mushy. If you can tell it's a face, that's a win. β’ School Days β the flash fires and only the face goes white. Sometimes it shakes. β’ Late Study Night β purple blotches in the dark, hard contrast. β’ Field Trip β heavy colors, electric blue skies, light bleeds against the sun. β’ First College Summer β fairly sharp, but nights are a storm of noise. β’ Last Summer β almost sharp, with a faint green cast. Beyond the phone β’ Dad's Film Camera β warm, grainy, with an orange date printed in the corner. β’ Disposable Camera β harsh flash, dark corners, the odd light leak. β’ Instant Camera β white frame, faded colors, a handwritten date. β’ Toy Camera β black corners, popping colors, frequent light leaks. β’ Family Camcorder β bleeding colors and scan lines. A red REC light blinks while you record. β’ Point-and-Shoot β sharp but cold, with blown-out highlights. β’ PC Webcam β hazy and bluish, highlights blown out. Video-chat quality. β’ DV Camcorder β crisp, with faint scan lines. DV and the date on screen. β’ CCTV / Dashcam β green night-vision look with CAM 01, REC, date and time. Features β’ Fifteen cameras, each with its own screen and shutter sound β’ Pinch to zoom (1β4Γ) and shoot with a self-timer (3, 5 or 10 s) β’ The viewfinder now looks like the photo you will get β’ Old-camera video, up to 1 minute, with sound β’ Color filters β Normal, Warm and Mono are free; sepia, faded, sunset, classroom, night bus, blossom, light leak and tape are Premium β’ Film filters β Gold 200, Slide and Milky are free; Aqua 400, Cross, Photobooth, Dawn Mist, Midsummer, Flash Burst and Prism are Premium β’ Intensity slider β dial the look to your taste before or after you shoot (free) β’ Face retouch (Premium) β skin, glow, slim, shrink, eyes, with adjustable strength. Live on the viewfinder, and in photos and video β’ Pick the date printed on photos and videos (Premium), and change it later on photos in your gallery β’ Album frame and story-size export β’ Turn photos from your library into old-camera photos β’ Favorites, grid, selfie mirror mode, silent shutter β’ No login. Photos and videos never leave your phone. Eleven cameras (six phones from back then and five beyond the phone), photo and video (up to 1 minute) shooting and saving, the Normal, Warm and Mono filters, 3 Film filters and the intensity slider are free. The Instant Camera, Family Camcorder, DV Camcorder and CCTV are Premium cameras. Saving or sharing a photo that uses a Premium camera, Premium filters, a custom date or face retouch needs Premium (a one-time purchase of about $3.99, yours forever, not a subscription); you can still shoot and preview with the effects for free. If you already bought a camera or a pack, Premium is applied automatically. This app is not affiliated with any camera or phone manufacturer or brand.

Find a color mood you love, make it your own, and share it with calotype. Explore 150+ free official filters inspired by film, vintage digital cameras, Y2K, and everyday moods. Try a filter in the live camera or on a photo from your library, then compare the result with the original. In Try It, a creatorβs preview image is for preview only. Save results from your own imported photos or camera captures. No sample photo appears before you choose a photo. The camera takes processed JPEG still photos and applies the selected filter to the captured photo. Shape your photos with light and color adjustments, HSL, tone curves, color grading, texture, and special effects. Sign in to save your settings as a preset. Add drawings, text, or imported stickers. Register your own preview images to save a public preset. Once the server saves a valid public preset, others can discover and use it. Follow creators, save favorite filters, and exchange likes and comments. Continue without signing in to browse bundled filters, use the camera, adjust effects on your own photos, and save photo results to Photos. Guests can bookmark up to 10 official or other creators' public filters on this device. Guest bookmarks are not automatically merged with or uploaded to an account library. Sign in with Apple or Google to save your own presets, use account backup and cloud synchronization across devices, publish presets, and use community features. The standard free account library has 10 base entries shared by your own presets and bookmarked filters. If your account library is full, you can still save a public preset to your profile, then add it to your library after freeing a slot. Editing an existing preset keeps the same slot. Basic photo exports have a maximum long edge of 4,096 pixels. The free version includes banner and native ads. Saving photos does not require watching a rewarded ad. calotype pro is a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. During an active subscription, enjoy ad removal, unlimited preset storage, private cloud presets, supported higher-resolution photo saving, automatic saving to Photos, face and skin adjustments, makeup, and digital lens effects. Output resolution depends on the source photo, device, camera, format, and crop; small photos are not enlarged. When Pro expires, saved filters are not automatically removed. If your account library exceeds the free limit, review all saved entries and choose up to 10 to keep, plus any previously earned bonus slots, then explicitly confirm. Only unselected library entries are unsaved; your original presets, community posts and photos already saved to Photos remain. Unsaved bookmarks are not automatically restored if you subscribe again. Face adjustments and makeup use temporary on-device analysis with separate consent. Face landmarks and analysis results are not sent to our server. Preview images, profile photos, and stickers that you choose to register are stored with your account. Report inappropriate presets or comments, block creators, and contact support inside the app. Your subscription price and billing period are shown before purchase.
