I checked out the App Store and noticed you have to pay $99/year for unlimited exports. Wow everyone is switching to subscriptions. No thanks. I’ll stick with VSCO and my library of presets that I own for life.
I just love this app. Instantly my go to when I need a film look. I do have one problem that bugs me though when it comes to editing on mobile. I cannot figure out what level of brightness should I use during editing. Is there way of knowing/guessing the possible outcome of my edits, how dark or bright they would look ? How can I say if my image is universally OK in terms of brightness.
Just played with dehancer for a long while after watching your video. It’s a great start on iOS. I really was bummed to see the export was compressed from my original 6000x4000px to 4032x2688px. I really don’t want my edits to be reduced in size like that. No reason for it but it seems maybe that’s their max output? Idk but I like saving more detail than that especially since you can’t crop in dehancer and I have to crop elsewhere. Otherwise a great tool. Hope to see them improve the export. I pinged their support asking them if I can export at my original resolution and waiting to here back.
I wonder how to correctly adjust film grain on a tiny device like an iPhone - not to talk about brightness, contrast, and saturation. IMO, this is definitely not a pro tool, but a very powerful toy for some crazy RUclipsrs who want to make some extra money by referring to it. Re the price, just comparing to my MS365 suite which is in the same range - MS365 is what I would call SW with some complexity and multi-year experience and expertise that went into it to justify the price. I stick with my manual grading in Davinci Resolve, based on the experience and knowledge I've acquired over the past 2 years.
Which pro will buy this for 100 bucks a year? Even an amateur can figure out that for just a little more, you can have the Lightroom/Photoshop suite... This pricing is insane really. And then they suggest they have 400.000 happy users. Which idiot is going to believe that??
Because it is unarguably incredibly feature-rich... if all you're going for professionally is an analog look, then this app can make you incredibly happy. Pair it with a reliable bluetooth capable camera or get an SDXC to Lightning reader and you can effectively say goodbye to Lightroom and Photoshop as an "influencer"/amateur photographer. That somewhat justifies it - to be 60€, not 129€ lol Then again, you won't ever need to buy a film camera nor film stock plus you can use film stock that has been discontinued... if it was 129€ for a license - I still wouldn't get it... its just insane to ask that much for an app.
@@acidtears I like the analog look for some of my pictures, but not for all of them. I’m a hobby photographer, and I shoot a lot of pictures of my kids, some nature/landscapes and other documentary stuff. I like to edit my photos in Lightroom, both Classic and Mobile, and Dehancer will not be able to replace that for me. So to add Dehancer on top of Lightroom+Photoshop just to get the analog look for a few photos now and then would be insane. And I don’t get why so many software producers charge too much for their software. I mean. If they reduced the price to the half, I believe they would have more than the double amount of users willing to pay for it. If they reduced it to half of that, probably much more than double would pay for it. I see that there is a balance here, but the more users who are willing to pay… If they priced it 12900€ they wouldn’t make money at all 😉 It ´the same with Luminar. I see so many stop buying their software because they got greedy. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?
@@acidtearsAnd what professional want a max file size of 3.4mb exactly? I’ve tried the full version and it’s very good but useless if you want to print an image.
Awesome video but - can we all agree that the cinematic mode on the new iPhone models is nothing more than a gimmick? The artificial DOF looks horrendous...
Sounds like a fun app; but imho it is much too expensive - at least for my purposes. Some remarks on ORWO: That‘s short for Original Wolfen, the one and only manufacturer of film material in the former GDR (negative and slide, OWROChrome of course being a slide film). The factory was established already in 1910 by AGFA before AGFA moved to West Germany by the end of WWII. The brand ORWO was established in 1964 and their films were also exported to other countries (though they might not have reached the US and many other countries outside the Comecon). Living in West Germany, I occasionally used ORWOChrome material because it was quite cheap and I was a student trying to keep the cost down. However, the quality was rather mediocre (which may make the material attractive to the Lomo community nowadays), so I preferred using AgfaChrome Professional whenever I could justify the higher price of those films. By the way, when the US Army liberated the area at the end of WWII, the patents and other documents were confiscated and handed over to British and US companies like Kodak who based their first newly developed film after the war - as I understand it, that was the E-1 process that was later developed into the E-6 process. In that sense, one might say that there is a little bit of ORWO DNA in most slide films (with the notable exception of Kodachrome, of course).
For anyone interested in ORWO: They have been offering the Wolfen NC500 Color (color negative film) and the Wolfen NP100 (black and white negative film) since last year (no slide film, though, unfortunately). The packaging looks pretty much like it did back then.
Having purchase the iOS and davinci plugin separately is crazy. How are they still in business?
You did such a great job describing the adjustments. I’m definitely grabbing this app. 😊 and I subscribed.

Thank you for the wealth of information.
I could listen to you all day :) thanks for showing
$400 for unlimited exports is insane. I'd rather just import the images into my computer and edit them there.
Such a great channel. Thanks Todd!

This will be fixed in update in a few days
Pls, make a video, how you do that rich voice record?

$99 a year for some filters! 🙂
Thank you, it’s the price I wanted to know about. Dehancer is great software but this is a total rip off.
@@Station9.75 It is for sure!
You can sideload it for free i use it
This should be 9.99 one time purchase, they are only targeting super pro photographers right now with 100 bucks a year... crazy

Insane pricing. Stopped watching the video at 2:48. Why bother…..
200 USD for the plug-in
@@corgikun2579 129€ per year for unlimited exports lol

I love the field photography portions of your channel, but it's beginning to feel like a product review/commercial channel.
