A recipe is the whole photograph.

Color. Grain. Glow. Frame.

Not a filter added after the moment.

Compose with the final feeling already in view.

Film recipes, rendered live.

Every recipe brings its color science, grain, highlight glow, vignette, frame, and capture preferences into the viewfinder.

  • Six curated built-in film recipes
  • Manual ISO, shutter, focus, and white balance
  • HEIC, ProRAW, and 48 MP on supported devices

Develop, don't edit.

Refine exposure, contrast, warmth, saturation, grain, and glow without losing the original intention. Hold to compare at any time.

  • Six primary controls for quick development
  • Tone curves, HSL, split tone, vignette, and frames
  • Undo history that protects experimentation
