Manual Exposure vs Darkroom Studios

Manual Exposure does the math for long exposures and night photography. Choose your equipment and settings, and the app gives you the exposure time. No tables or cheat sheets. Calculators • ND filters: exposure time with one or more ND filters. • Handheld shutter speed: the slowest shutter speed you can use without blur. • Multiple exposures: exposure compensation for multiple-exposure shots. • Still stars: the longest exposure before stars start to trail. • Star trails: exposure and number of frames for the trail length you want. • Nightscapes: exposure for landscapes in moonlight. • Moon: exposure for photographing the Moon itself. Features • Built-in timer. Start the countdown and close the app: you'll get a notification when time is up. Run several timers at once. • Home Screen widget and Apple Watch app show the running timer. • Equipment sets. Add cameras, lenses, filters and teleconverters from the catalog, and switch sets in any calculator. • Specs for every item in your sets. • Save your favorite calculators and reopen them with one tap. • ND filter compensation and lens stabilization settings. • Light and dark mode, support for larger text sizes. Full version The ND filters calculator is free. One payment unlocks all calculators, the equipment catalog, the widget and the Apple Watch app. No subscription.

Darkroom Studios is a workbench for analog printing. It keeps track of the gear you own, the darkrooms you build from it, and every print you pull — so a result you liked six months ago is a setup you can repeat tonight. REGISTER YOUR GEAR Add your enlargers, lenses, easels, timers, and chemistry. Each item carries the details that actually matter at the baseboard, so you are not guessing which lens was on the column for a print you made last spring. BUILD REPEATABLE DARKROOMS Group gear into named darkrooms — a full working setup you can select in one tap. Set one as your default and every new session starts from known ground. RUN GUIDED SESSIONS A printing session walks through nine steps, from exposure to wash. Each stage is timed against the wall clock, and the app notifies you when a stage is over, so you can keep both hands on the print instead of watching a timer. DIAL IN THE PRINT Set contrast grade, exposure time, aperture, and darkness before you commit, and see a live preview rendered from your own photograph. Burn and dodge to shape the result. The preview works from the actual image you are printing — it is not a stock simulation. KEEP EVERY RESULT Photograph the negative or the finished print with the camera, or pick an image from your library. Each completed session is saved with a rendered print and the full parameter set that produced it. Save finished prints back to your photo library or share them. NO ADS, NO TRACKING There is no advertising in Darkroom Studios and no analytics or tracking SDK of any kind. Your gear, your sessions, and your images are yours.
