"Darkr actually taught us how to frame pictures better"
- AppleInsider


Have you ever dreamt of trying an old darkroom, but don't have the equipment nor the time?

Now you can, and without getting wet.


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 - Darkr 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
Darkr 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


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

best app to emulate traditional photography

It is quite frankly a very minimal and laboriously crafted app with a multitude of functions to achieve a very sophisticated b&w look. It’s worth the money if you are a serious hobbyist or a photographer fiddling with your iPhone. I’ve owned this app for a while and honestly it didn’t took me much time before I paid for the pro pack. The large format and medium format cameras are really good and the whole experience with handling them requires a bit of understanding that besides being a camera app, darkr is supposed to a emulation of the original hardware it is trying to represent.
The only drawback I can think of is the lack of saving mask selection. This would for a refined workflow which is otherwise arbitrary. Thank you for the excellent app.

Developer Response ,

This sounds like a cool feature. Please email me and we can have some discussion about it.
Thanks for your review

Great great great.

Its been couple of months since I am using this app. Beautiful work by developer.
At first you may find this app tricky...
I will recommend all the first time users to go through tutorial at least once. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
And as you keep editing you will start getting better and better.
If you are looking for some quick filter fixes... Then surely you are just another person and this app is not for filter freaks.
This is for serious individuals who want to work on their clicks and develop beautiful out of it.
I am still learning and soon will be upgrading to pro.
Thank you developer once again from the bottom of my heart.
One feature I require a lot is..... Undo... Atleast one step.

One reason to equip on to latest piece of hardware and on the other side to learn the latest trend of science behind an powerful image.
The application certainly does the job of providing the vital and very essential alphabets to making of great media.
