What's inside

Thermal palettes

Eight false-colour palettes: Iron, White, Black, Rainbow, Arctic, Lava, Glow and Amber.

Night vision

Classic green and amber night vision, a UV blacklight look, infrared and a ghostly look for dark rooms.

FX filters

Glitch, scanline, pixel, neon, x-ray, comic and crystal effects that restyle the whole picture.

HUD

A crosshair, a palette colour bar and markers that follow the brightest and darkest areas of the frame. It also brackets the people in view.

MSX detail overlay

An edge layer traces outlines over the effect, so faces, text and objects stay readable.

Video and import

Record video with sound exactly as it looks on screen, or run a photo from your library through any effect.

Apple Watch shutter

Frame the shot on your iPhone and fire from your wrist, with a live preview and a 3 or 10 second timer.

iPhone and iPad

A large viewfinder on iPad in portrait and landscape, 13 languages, and no ads, ever.
