Dramatic Black & White

I have a photo that I have loved but I could never quite get the image that would do it justice using my darkroom skills. So after 20 years I tried again with this app. Now I have the photo that I always knew was there. Great app!

This app is quite remarkable. It allows a lot of latitude while editing. The effects one can apply are numerous while allowing additional adjustments. It is very easy to use as are all programs related to this company’s apps. I have several; I use them for different types of photos. More importantly I have never had an issue with this app.

I gave this app two stars even though I like it. The Spotlight makes it a pain in the rear to use. It should be optional and should not reset itself when you change to a different filter. That is the main reason I do not use the app. I also wish that it had a slider to change the strength of the filter. Adding an adjustable dodge and burn tool and a contrast tool (no, not the sliding bar the app has), and a saturation tool to fine tone the highlights and shadows would be great. I have also noticed that when you change the strength of the red, blue, or green filter, the other two move. It should not be that. They should be completely independent from each other. Changing one should not move the other two filters.
