What is Darkr?

Darkr is a photography app that has been featured as Today's app in many countries and has been downloaded over 3 million times. It is a fun and intuitive way to learn photography and experience the old darkroom without the need for equipment or time. The app offers a darkroom feature where users can pick the strip that has the best time and contrast, make parts of the image brighter or darker, and tone the images with various strengths. The camera feature allows users to shoot with a large-format camera where the image is upside-down, giving them more control over the image. The app also offers two more camera models, medium-format, and small-format. Users can share their negatives and prints on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.



Software Features and Description

1. At first it may feel a bit odd to look at the upside-down image and it can even be a bit challanging to know if you should move the camera to the left or right when framing the image.

2. + Medium-format which will produce a square image and just as the large-format camera it is manual.

3. And just like a real darkroom, you can make parts of the image brighter and darker by blocking or adding more light to the image.

4. By shooting with a large-format camera where the image is upside-down you will actually get more control over the image.

5. + Small-format which is a real basic point and shoot camera where you pretty much only shoot at what you see.

6. The camera is only manual and back in the old days you could not even zoom with the camera, you had to walk.

7. + Dodge - Make a selected part of the image brighter.

8. + Zoom - You can zoom the image ten times.

9. The images will only be in black and white (but you may tone them).

10. + Stripes - As in a real darkroom you'll have to find the best strip.

11. + Tone - Tone the images with various strength.

  • Great editor, somewhat misleading

    By KBiz13 (Pcmac user)

    Perhaps I just misread the description or I was being stupid but I thought this app could scan my actual negatives and edit them. I will no longer have access to a dark room and was excited to see an app that could help me “develop” my remaining negatives. ((Wouldn’t that be amazing? Bypassing the whole printing process then scanning and editing the photos on/to a computer THEN saving them to the cloud to post on Instagram and other platforms?!)) Anyways, it’s a good app and I recommend it for pristine black and white photography. I however will probably not use it - I’m too let down to use this at the moment.
  • Fascinating, Jim.

    By GeniusRabbit (Pcmac user)

    This takes me back to the supply room darkroom I started out in with my friends Pentax. The magic that happened in those smelly trays thrills me forty years later. Thanks for recreating the experience here: I love screwing around with exposures and emulsions. Throw in a gray filter when you get the chance so we can play around more with depth of field. Dream list- the ability to under or over develop the negatives. Hope you make millions on this fresh fresh look at photography in the digital age. Fun!
  • LOVE

    By CK the Poet (Pcmac user)

    I’ve wanted an app like this for a very long time. I stumbled upon this browsing the App Store and downloaded it instantly. It takes some getting use to but it’s worth trying. I really appreciate the tutorials. It has been a long time since I’ve been in a darkroom. For me, using this app is like traveling back in time to what helped me fall in love with photography, the darkroom. Thank you for this. I can’t wait to see what it develops into. Just don’t go away! lol
  • Brings me back to my darkroom days

    By Marymo123 (Pcmac user)

    I’ve only just started playing around with this but I think it has great potential. I think anyone that has ever done traditional black and white darkroom work will feel right at home. It is a great way for others to feel what it was like without the chemicals! There are also a lot of good pointers about improving your photos with compositional pointers.
