Dozens of custom, multilayered photo effects unlike anything available on the App Store, ranging from basic color and tonal to authentic vintage film emulations, textured finishes, and painterly and artistic styles. Built with scientific precision by some of the most talented artists in the mobile photography community, these effects truly deserve the “Formula” accolade. Each is meticulously constructed from components that are expertly-crafted by renowned photographer Dirk Wuestenhagen and that themselves are fully-fledged effects in the traditional sense including textures, filters, gradients, adjustments, and much more. Each formula goes through a vigorous testing process to ensure compatibility with a wide range of scenes, subjects, and editing styles from landscapes and cityscapes to street photography and portraits.
Dozens of custom frames expertly-crafted by renowned photographer Dirk Wuestenhagen, which include high quality scans of vintage paper, worn fabric, weathered stone, and a multitude of other materials and substrates that are then refined, blended, and fine-tuned to perfection in an arduous post-processing regimen aimed at exposing naturally occurring character lines, blemishes, and impurities. Moreover, a great deal of attention is given to specific color tones within an overall limited spectrum of earthy hues that are deemed to work best with images.
One-tap Auto Adjust tool that automatically analyzes color and tonal levels in an image and makes adjustments accordingly, thereby producing professional results with no effort whatsoever.
Beautifully designed and streamlined UI that is intuitive and easy to navigate. A lot of thought and effort went into making the UI appealing to and accessible by users of all skill levels.

I don’t get much use out of this app because there’s no way to separate the colors from the textures. Often times I’d like to get rid of the color and keep the texture, or vise versa. Or just lower the opacity of the color or texture separately.
The simplicity and the subtle

Whenever I see an app more than 5 years old only upgraded for the next operating system I worry. This is a lovely app but it could use perha0s some textures like peeling paint, shattered glass or fresco ?
My two favorite filter apps

I’m very glad my Stackables formulas are in this app but I’m very sad Stackables is not being updated. There is nothing comparable on the market. It was hands down the best app for layering effects on photos. Please keep both apps available!!!
Does NOT work. It is not updated

This app says optimized for iPad Pro but it won’t run at all. Nothing.
Painterly

Love this app for making painterly effects on my photos, especially my flower photos.
Amazing!

This (and sometimes in combo with Stackables) is my favorite artistic editing app hands down! I’ve been using it for several years and it’s let my creativity soar! I’d like for it to be updated just to let other iPhone users have access because I’ve noticed that the only way to access it (them) is by going into my previous purchases. Links IN the app don’t work- haven’t for awhile. Why have you abandoned them?
New Features?
The Brice Is Right
3years last notes. I can’t wait to see these new features mentioned in the app screen. Especially since stackables isn’t available in the US. Update the app. Surprise us :-)
Absolutely top of the line filter app

I absolutely love this app! Wish Stackables was available to users here in the USA. I’m concerned that there’s been no updates in quite some time. Have the developers abandoned this application??? It’s the only reason I can’t give a 5 star rating.
