Analogue is the first app where you truly go analog.
By developing your photos as one did in a real darkroom, you will learn to see and understand what makes a great photo.
DARKROOM
For the first time you will develop the negative in a real darkroom.
In a fun and intuitive way you will pick the strip that has the best time and contrast.
And just like a real darkroom, you can make parts of the image brighter and darker by blocking or adding more light to the image.
You will be presented in a very easy way with lots of tutorials on how to use the tools.
The images will only be in black and white (but you may tone them).
DARKROOM FEATURES
+ Develop either your images from your camera-roll or taken by the Large-Format camera
+ Only Black & White
+ Stripes - As in a real darkroom you'll have to find the best strip. It will be challenging, fun and very powerful
+ Crop / Rotate - Both crop and rotate the image in the same tool
+ Dodge - Make a selected part of the image brighter.
+ Burn - Make a selected part of the image darker
+ Blur - Enhance the background with some beautiful blurriness.
+ Tone - Tone the images with various strength. The toners that can be used are Selenium, Cyanotype and Sepia.
+ Layers - You can add as many effects as you want. Each effect will be treated as a layer that can be edited, deleted and changed its visibility.
+ Zoom - You can zoom the image ten times. This will make it really easy to make the detailed work.
+ OpenGL - Analogue uses OpenGL, the drawing is fast and very fluid.
CAMERA
By shooting with a large-format camera where the image is upside-down you will actually get more control over the image.
The camera is only manual and back in the old days you could not even zoom with the camera, you had to walk.
You will be forced to slow down the process and by doing so, your photographs will be so much better.
At first it may feel a bit odd to look at the upside-down image and it can even be a bit challanging to know if you should move the camera to the left or right when framing the image.
Sometimes you will even laugh at yourself, but the more you use it, the less you will even have to think about it.
MORE CAMERA-MODELS
Analogue has now added two more camera-models.
+ Medium-format which will produce a square image and just as the large-format camera it is manual.
+ Small-format which is a real basic point and shoot camera where you pretty much only shoot at what you see. Nothing to set up with, nor zoom.
CAMERA FEATURES
+ Manual - Just as in a real old analog camera, it is only manual
+ Shutter / ISO - You will set these individually
+ Focus - With a beautiful crafted loupe, you will get full control over the sharpness
+ Tilt / Shift - Just as a large-format camera you will be able to straight up any lines
+ 4x5" - The negative's size will be in the 4x5-ratio as the most popular large-format camera does
DIGITAL NEGATIVE
For the first time, you can produce real digital negatives for your darkroom.
Analogue will make it possible to print the images in 35-mm, 6x4.5, 6x6, 4x5" or 8x10" sizes.
EXAMPLES
Download free examples and view them in the darkroom to understand how to fully use the darkroom to its best.
SHARE
You can naturally share both the negatives and prints.
You can optimize the resolution to lots of social media's sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter

Coolest photography app I've used!
Marek41757
Taking and editing a single picture can take quite some time with this app, which helps you focus on the small details which quick snapshots night not pick up. The app is very in-depth with clear explanations of every feature, even with examples of the manual methods used to dodge and blur elements in a photograph. Color photos would be a nice plus but not very historically accurate. Overall a great experience, actually having to sit down and manually expose and focus every image makes you appreciate the skill needed to develop a quality final picture!
In the darkroom again!

If you ever used a view camera or dreamed of using a view camera you're in luck...almost. This app emulates the olden days of using film and making prints with an enlarger. Great fun without getting your hands dirty.
It’s a Digital Darkroom

If you’ve never used a view camera before, Analogue might seem a little difficult to use at first. I love the fact that the app emulates the look and feel of shooting on film. I also love that it slows down the process of making images. I wish there was a color option because I don’t always want to shoot in black and white.
Great app

This is a wonderful way to relive old film photography. Of course you could create a much better film look in Photoshop, but the experience you get with this app, and the amount you can edit on a little mobile app is amazing.
Thumbs Up!

This unique black and white app offers an amazing and fun way to convert your images to pleasing monochromatic ones. Don't expect your editing workflow to be as fast as you use the other apps since this emulates the developing of negatives in a real darkroom. It gives you better control of how your image will turn out. I would also like to commend Marcus Carlsson for coming up with a tutorial that ordinary people like me who never used a darkroom would easily understand. This version addressed my request to include the images from my camera roll. Thank you Marcus! I hope in the next update, the masking would be better. I noticed that my swipes aren't as clean as I expect it to be when dodging or burning even if I use different stylus. Once it's addressed, I'll change my rating to five stars!
Fix Resolution & iCloud import
Crucialconflics
Perfect for iPad Pro 12.9'' viewfinder, Very cool app. Edited a few images every time I do dodge & burning some vertical and horizontal lines show up right in the center. And for goodness sake, in this day and age please make it possible for us to use our full resolution images without down sampling or downscaling. Imported from DSLR. Or Mirrorless system. Also every time I try to import a photo from iCloud the app crashes
Awesome
Sfvillano
This is simply an amazing app. Far beyond most of the many I have tried. Simple and clean with extremely sophisticated results. The idea to model a darkroom in the digital realm is just plain lovely. Not to mention that when I messed up my app by not paying attention to the system requirements the developer graciously helped me get back up in short order.
Absolutely incredible app
Sfvillano
I cannot say enough good about this camera system. The results are awesome. Beautiful images. The developer is personable, efficient and very helpful. He responded to my email quickly and respectfully. Even though it was my fault :)) that I had broken the app. And the interface is transportational!! I spend time working images and not like photoshop. Actually knowing the image better.
