Shy Camera

Sending a photo of yourself, or posting one. Have you ever felt a little shy about how big it shows up, filling the whole screen? Shrinking it does not help. Social apps stretch every image back up to their standard size, so a shrunken photo comes out rough and blurry. You only wanted to be modest, and it stands out more than ever. Shy Camera places your photo small inside a canvas and turns the whole thing into one image. What gets stretched is the canvas. Your photo stays small and sharp, at the size and position you chose. ■ Good for - A profile picture for social apps, at a modest size - A face photo beside an introduction in a group - A seller photo for a listing, not too big - Kids or pets with a margin, not edge to edge ■ Three steps 1. Choose a photo or take one on the spot 2. Set its position and size on the canvas and tap Next 3. Retouch if you like, then save ■ Place Your photo appears on the canvas at 50%, centered. - Drag to position it. It never leaves the canvas - Pinch to resize, from 10% to 100% - Canvas ratio 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 3:4 or 4:3 (landscape), to match where you post - Background: black, white, grey, pink, light blue, or any color - Mirror, flip, and rotate in 15-degree steps - "Center" resets position, size and rotation at once - Tap Next to compose. "Placement" brings you back ■ Four ways to bring a photo in Choose Photo: pick from your library. System camera: the best quality. Shy Camera: for shooting in a quiet place without feeling awkward. A 3, 5 or 10 second timer, and burst from 1 to 30 shots, so you pick the one you like. Pinch to zoom, with 0.5x, 1x and 2x buttons; the lens is chosen to match, as on the system camera. Quality is below the system camera. Extract a frame from a video: pick a moment from footage you already have, by eye, from a strip of frames. The canvas ratio is chosen to fit your photo. You can change it with one tap. ■ Four tools for the finished image Retouch Finds the face and lets you smooth the skin and enlarge the eyes. Eyes, brows and lips stay sharp; only skin is softened, so it never looks fake. Detection runs on your device. Brightness, contrast and warmth are on the same screen, and work without a face. Watermark Add your name or handle so nobody reposts your photo as their own. Adjust size and opacity, drag it anywhere, or tile it over the image. A corner mark can be cropped away; a tiled one cannot. Blur Trace anything you want to hide: a sign, a nameplate, someone who walked into the shot. Only what you trace is blurred, at ten strength levels. Compress Make the file smaller for email or forms with a size limit. Move the quality slider and see the result and its file size right away. ■ Save and share "Save" puts the photo straight into Photos. Long press Save to choose Files or iCloud Drive instead. "Share" hands it to someone through the iOS share sheet: AirDrop, Mail, Messages and more. Closing before you save or share asks first: a photo taken here is not kept on the device. ■ Your original is safe, and nothing leaves your device No tool touches the original. The result is always a new image, drawn from scratch, so it carries no location, date or device information. No upload, no account, no sign-in: everything happens on your iPhone or iPad, even in airplane mode. ■ Japanese and English, iPhone and iPad, dark mode The app follows your device language. On iPad the controls stay within reach in the middle. Dark mode is supported. ■ One-time purchase Placing, Retouch, Watermark, Blur, Compress and saving are all free. A single purchase unlocks the following. Nothing renews. - Sharing the finished image (AirDrop, Mail, Messages and more) - Tiling the watermark over the whole image - Removing the banner ad The price is shown by the App Store. "Restore Purchase" carries it to a new device. ■ Contact Questions and requests are welcome. https://tenmais.jp/contact/ Made by one person, and every message gets read.
