Base Lets You Use Your Smartphone Camera as If It Was Analogue

— August 25, 2015 — Tech
Fans of film photography will enjoy the Base app that turns your smartphone into an analogue camera by allowing you to access 14 different film filters along with a slew of lighting and editing features.

The Base app is designed to return to the early days of photography with analogue-inspired camera quality. The app transforms your smartphone camera into a film lens by offering a variety of aged filters and lighting giving you the ability to take vintage-looking film pictures while being able to review them instantly. The app is meant to be used before an editing app, to help you capture that ideal retro picture right off the bat. Users can adjust colors, lighting and other aspects of the image directly in the app's camera functions to get the perfect picture every time.
