Description

The best B&W photo editor on the App Store, featured by Apple as a top and trending photo app. Add stunning Black and White filters & effects to your photos with simple and efficient controls.

“Tried the B&W filters and found it amazing. Unlike the rough filters by some other apps, this one is really stunning and can do lots of different styles. I really like it. Minimalism system is a plus too.” – Elizabeth C, Carbon customer

Carbon is the ultimate addition to your B&W photography arsenal. This uncluttered photo editor app provides stunning monochrome filters that will take your work to the next level.

Apply over 50 black and white filters to add elegant, unique touches to your photos. Use B&W presets to bring out variations in lighting and skin tone with a single tap and get professional quality black & white effects instantly.

Developed in partnership with a collective of professional photographers, Carbon's minimal feature set allows you to hone in on what is most important in the world of black and white.

"When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. When you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls." – Anon

Easy to use and great effects

I am a total beginner and this app is perfect it allows a wide range of effects and I hadn’t realised how many versions of black and white there are. The additional colour effects can be subtle to crazy extreme but it is the black and white I like best. I haven’t used this app for long but have already created some fun images by transferring colour photos to black and white and inverting the colours.
Highly recommended.

Terribly overpriced - better apps out there

You’re hostler better off with a number of more sophisticated apps, most of them free. The in app purchase for the £20 premium filters is a joke. Most of the garish colour filters are unusable curve adjustments or slightly tweaked variations on B/W filters as infinity’s. Quantity over quality is the story here. I feel completely duped into buying something that I might use once. But probably not. Also, can’t get a refund. Awful.

Edit - as soon as I published this review I got an email from Ritvik - the app author, with a “How to make great photos” survey, promising a free hidden bonus if I just answer his questions. The questions are all leading questions that point towards him being able to tell me that it’s not his app - it’s my photography skills! Great way to get my hackles up. Not only is this app and developer a total rip off, now I have to deal with spam too. Apple - how do I complain about this and get a refund? We’re talking nearly £24 here...

Developer Response ,

Hi Jah. I'd like to apologize for your experience. I've reached out to you via email about how we can get you a refund asap. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day!

Best B&W app? Hmm...

Ok, I’m a keen photographer and always try various apps and software to edit photos. B&W being one of my favourite styles. Have to admit the bating to download the app is well thought out ‘Get all this for free’. Download the app only to find out that I have to buy extra features. And at £30+? No thanks! I’ve had a look at the feature you can purchase and there are many but you can get the same or better for free or at a fraction of the price! Eg: Snapseed! Far superior, flexible with editing and free! Well it was when I downloaded it. And since then I’ve had all updated and additional features added for free. I know this is a living for a lot of app developers, but don’t con people into spending money claiming to be the best app when it barely scratches the surface of what other apps can do for a lot less of a cost!!!
