Inspired by the 126 film format which was introduced in 1963 and associated with low-end point-and-shoot cameras, ‘Format 126’ brings that retro square format to the digital age in the form of this iPhone app.
Format 126 is easy to use, simply load or take a photo, convert it to square format and then apply any of the following effects or options.
Effects:
Neutral - Leaves the colors unaffected, allowing you to convert your photo to the square format with or without border
ColorPlus - Gives your photos an extra color boost
PolaColor - Gives you photos that retro Polaroid look
ColorHint - Bleaches out all but the strongest colors in you photos
LOFI - Gives your photos that extra toy camera look (taken from the LOFI app)
Mono - Gives your photos that good old Black and White look
MonoPlus - Gives your photos that Black and White look with added contrast
MonoHi - Gives your photos that ultra hi contrast Black and White look
Film Options:
Vignetting - Adds a subtle vignette to your photos
Border - This option allows you to add a white border to your Format 126 photos
Square Format - Just in case you don’t want that square format look, we have enabled this option to allow you to switch off the square format
Worried about your resolution? No problem, Format126 will output at 3GS resolution. Just check out the application settings!
