Mono Lab

Experiment in black and white.

$4.99 · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A black and white image playground. 150 ways to break, bend, and re-form an image. Experiment with images in black and white. Mono Lab is designed for exploring the unexpected. From subtle relief to structural collapse, topology drift, mesh warps, fracture effects, misregistration, and controlled instability, every tool is built for focused experimentation. Responsive. Direct. Tactile. Interactive Filters (X) Distortion that responds to you. Shift the image through movement and contact. Tilt to bend structure. Rotate to redirect tension. Touch to anchor, drag to stretch, hold to resist. Each gesture leaves a trace. Each motion reshapes the result. 3D Surface Mode A dimensional approach to distortion. Map images across 12 surfaces and interpret them through 13 lenses. Adjust depth. Refine spatial tension. Each surface behaves differently. Each lens reshapes the outcome. Monochromatic. Structure, tone, dimension, possibility. What You Can Do • 150 filters for black and white distortion • Touch and motion control transformations • 12 surfaces. 13 lenses • Press, drag, and hold to reshape the image like a surface • Refine light, contrast, and structure • Warp topology and form • Collapse, fracture, and distort • Create raster and vector outputs • Build layered misregistrations • Adjust pressure, grain, and tone • Stack transformations • Save your favorite filters to the Index • Save directly to Files Mono Lab is for designers, artists, photographers, illustrators, and visual experimenters working in black and white.

Ability to purchase Filter Packs! Filter packs have been optimized. Edits and improvement to: // Surface Yield - A new tool to push, pull, and break images. Your image becomes a liquid surface. Press, drag, and hold. 10 New Filters // Selection based Break Select - isolate a subject instantly Echo Rupture - scatter and pressurize a region Depth Breach - tear depth layers apart // Subject Isolation Figure Drift - subject holds, background stretches Dimensional Break - split the image into spatial slabs // Depth Aware Depth Map - rebuild the image as spatial tone Depth Breach - depth distortion within a selection Dimensional Break - depth + segmentation combined // Pure Form Isoform - contour banding Isobloom - expanding contour outlines Residual Spine - reduced to skeletal structure ...What’s New at the Core Surface Yield introduces real-time deformation. New filters bring depth awareness and selection control. Images aren’t just edited. They’re shaped.
