Description
FilmLab is the best app for viewing and digitizing film negatives. FilmLab lets you view negatives as positives, capture scans to save and share, and convert high resolution images from scanners and digital cameras.
FIlmLab is actively developed by a small team that is passionate about film photography. We believe every film image is special, and we feel a responsibility to help you get the best possible results using the equipment you have available. With that goal in mind, we've invested years of research and development to create an app that does film scanning right.
FilmLab supports scanning color negatives, black and white negatives, and color positives (slides). It supports all film formats, including 35mm, medium format, and large format. It works with a wide variety of film scanning setups (including kits sold by Negative Supply, Valoi, pixl-latr, Lomography, and Kodak). FilmLab also supports importing scans in most image formats, including camera raw files.

Ratings and Reviews
can be utilized creatively and/or by using peripherals
i found the app through a photography instagram page shouting the app out awhile back. i got the app as soon as it was released and had pretty high hopes.
overall, it gets the job done but lacks features such as importing photos. i remember when it was first released the developed stated that the app is best when using a clip-on type lens of sorts and a light box.
for most consumers, i think the bad reviews come from people expecting a high resolution “scan” of a single negative. i think the app has it benefits on a more creative level, as you can create pretty cool collages of sorts with multiple negatives.
i find myself not really utilizing the app as much as i anticipated when i first purchased it for a steep price of $8. i hope there will be more support down the road for the newer iphones where the app can utilize the different .5x, 1.0x, and 2.0x lenses.
Love it!
I use this on both my iPad and my Mac Studio. Does a great job of converting DSLR scanned negatives to a positive - and so easy to use!
Works well, but is a subscription
If this app was a one time $8-$15 purchase I’d have purchased it and be writing a glowing review.
As it is, it costs much more than it would be worth to me. Given that it doesn’t really replace a full editing suite + high res scan, to me this is a good way to preview film. (with a 10x macro, and a nice light)… I can buy a fairly nice used flat bed scanner for $100. I don’t see the value here.
