FAQ
Asked and answered
Straight answers about the app and the beta.
Is Daydream a camera or a photo editor?
Both. Daydream has a built-in camera, but it is designed around editing: bring in any photo you already have, develop it as film, and save the result. Nothing about how you shoot has to change.
What happens to my original photo?
Nothing. Edits are non-destructive: Undo, Redo, and Revert are always available while you work, and saving writes a new photo to your library.
How is this different from a filter?
A filter pastes one look on top of every photo. Daydream simulates how film responds to the light in your photo, and every part of that response, from grain to halation to color, is a control you can adjust.
What is a preset card?
Any edit can be shared as a preset card: a small card with your photo, the recipe behind it, and a code that anyone can scan to import your exact look into their own copy of Daydream.
