- 📦Halochrome - Film Camera & RAW version 1.5Major Update: Variable Aperture, 6-Blade Optical Starbursts, 3D Wigglegrams, Y2K Digicam & VHS Camcorder
OPTICAL VARIABLE APERTURE & 6-BLADE STARBURSTS
- Stepped Aperture Ring (f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8, f/4.0): Stop down the lens for deeper focus and authentic 6-point optical diffraction spikes on streetlights, neon, sun glints, and specular highlights.
- Dual-Engine Pipeline: Combines physical variable aperture hardware support on compatible Pro devices with our real-time 4-pass Metal starburst shader and chromatic dispersion engine across all iPhones.
- Smart Exposure Compensation: Automatically balances ISO and shutter duration when stopping down so highlights stay crisp without underexposing your frame.
NEW RETRO CAPTURE MODES
- Y2K CCD Digicam Mode: Recreates early-2000s 3.2MP compact digital sensors with harsh direct-flash contrast, subtle Bayer sensor quantization, and a classic 2004 orange LED date stamp.
- MiniDV & VHS Camcorder Mode: Record retro video with selectable frame rates (15 FPS, 24 FPS, 60i), CRT scanlines, horizontal chroma bleed, magnetic tape-head switching noise, and a classic VCR on-screen display.
- Nishika 3D Wigglegram Mode: Aligns multi-frame bursts or synthesizes quad-lens parallax frames around your subject to export looping 3D stereoscopic MP4 videos and GIFs.
ORGANIC FILM PHYSICS & TACTILE MECHANICS
- Gyro-Driven Dynamic Light Leaks: Optional organic amber and magenta edge light leaks that shift across the frame in real time as you tilt your iPhone.
- Edge-Aware Red Halation & Gate Weave: High-contrast highlight boundaries bloom with authentic tungsten red-orange halation alongside subtle 16mm frame jitter.
- 24/36-Exposure Roll Lock & Film Advance Lever: Enable Roll Lock to shoot disciplined 24 or 36 exposure rolls, complete with an interactive drag-to-wind film advance lever and CoreHaptics gear ratcheting.
- Skeuomorphic Camera Skins: Customize your camera body between Rangefinder Brass, Disposable 98, SLR Leatherette, and Y2K Cyber Silver.
DARKROOM & SOCIAL EXPORTERS
- Editorial Borders & Film Rebates: Frame your shots non-destructively with Minimalist EXIF, Polaroid 600, Portra 400 Rebate, Fuji Pro 400H Rebate, or CineStill 800T Rebate templates with 35mm sprocket perforations.
- 3-Second Before/After Reel Exporter: Generate a 9:16 vertical 60fps split-screen wipe video comparing your raw unstyled shot with your graded film capture in one tap.
- 35mm Contact Sheet & Shared Friend Rolls: Develop a full darkroom proof sheet of your roll or start a collaborative 24-exposure Friend Roll.… more - 🆕Halochrome - Film Camera & RAW released on the App Store

About Halochrome - Film Camera & RAW
Halochrome transforms your iPhone into an authentic analog photographic instrument. Combining real-time silver halide emulsion simulation with uncompromising manual camera hardware control, Halochrome delivers the tactile soul of film photography directly to your viewfinder.
Unlike standard apps that apply generic cosmetic overlays after the fact, Halochrome renders grain structure, optical halation, spectral film response, and tone curves in real time at up to 60 frames per second using Apple Metal architecture.
FILM EMULATION ENGINE
Authentic Silver Halide Formulations: Shoot with curated profiles inspired by iconic emulsion stocks including Halochrome 400, Portra Gold, Tri-X Monolith, Cine Chrome 800T, Amber Tungsten, and Velvia Vivid.
Granular Physics Emulation: Organic dye-cloud grain simulated at the pixel level, matching genuine film response across shadows, midtones, and highlights.
Halation & Glow: Optical red-rim dispersion around intense specular highlights, faithfully replicating unbacked film layers.
Custom Recipe Creation: Build, fine-tune, and name personal analog film recipes by controlling warm/cool tone balance, contrast bias, grain intensity, halation bleed, and shadow fades.
FULL MANUAL HARDWARE CONTROLS
Tactile Pro Deck: Precise rotary and linear dials for professional exposure control.
Manual Shutter Speed: From 1/8000s high-speed action freezes to 1.0s long exposures.
ISO Sensitivity: Dedicated manual gain calibration with automated noise floor balancing.
Manual Focus Peaking: Smooth focus distance racking with instant sharp-edge verification.
White Balance: Kelvins temperature adjustment and tint compensation.
Exposure Value Reticle: Interactive tap-to-focus reticle with an integrated vertical EV bias slider (-2.0 EV to +2.0 EV).
VIEWFINDER & COMPOSITION
Format Aspect Ratio Masking: Switch seamlessly between classic 35mm (3:2), Medium Format (1:1), and standard sensor (4:3) with real-time hairline masking and non-destructive crops.
Live 60 FPS RGB & Luminance Waveform Histogram: Real-time exposure telemetry to eliminate highlight blowout and crushed shadows.
Viewfinder Zoom: Smooth pinch-to-zoom with optical haptic detents at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, and 5x focal lengths.
Self-Timer: Configurable 3-second and 10-second capture delays with acoustic countdown cadences.
DARKROOM & POST-CAPTURE LABORATORY
4.0x Interactive Grain Loupe: Double-tap or pinch to inspect film grain crystals, sharpness, and micro-contrast at microscopic magnification.
Hold-to-Compare: Dedicated inspection control to switch instantaneously between your styled capture and the raw sensor data.
Camera Roll Integration: Direct high-fidelity export to your iOS Photo Library with metadata preservation.
DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY & PERFORMANCE
100% On-Device Processing: No cloud uploads, no account registration, and zero remote data transfers.
Built for Apple Silicon & Metal: Hardware-accelerated image pipeline optimized for efficiency, zero shutter lag, and extended
