Vintage Filter

A vintage filter for iPhone: warm faded colour and film grain, live in the camera before you take the shot.

In Monet: Vintage Runs on the device

This one is not AI. It is a colour grade with grain, running on the phone, so you see the look through the lens and nothing leaves the device. There are 92 of these in Monet, from faded colour to named film looks, and each has an intensity.

How to do it
