The looks
Four signature looks

The engine
Not a filter. A film engine.
Each film is built from measured film behaviors, like grain, halation and color. Open any effect to see what it does and why.
How it works
Any photo in. Your film out.
Import from your camera roll, start from a film, tune it in the Lab, then share the recipe as a preset card.

FAQ
Asked and answered
Straight answers about the app and the beta.
Is Daydream Film a film camera app 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.
