No, you cannot import existing photos to mood.camera. I wanted to discourage this kind of work flow as it goes against the core concept for the app. Read about the guiding principles here.
I intentionally wanted to add a feeling of surprise and delight when using the app, akin to the film camera experience. Read about the guiding principles here.
Due to their size, 48MP images were taking 10+ seconds to process. From testing they also didn't really offer much more detail than downscaling to a 24MP image before processing. The increased resolution was most noticeable when using quality settings DIGI/ 100/200. Beyond that, the additional detail becomes obscured by grain.
In low light, the iPhones 48MP sensor is automatically "binned" down to 12MP to improve lowlight performance.
Due to Apple's arbitrary Camera Control requirements, you are not able to simply launch an app using the Camera Control. Instead, a stripped down version of the app is required to be built so it can be launched while the device is locked. Unfortunately, this would take me weeks to develop and I'm not sure when I will find the time to do so. I am disappointed I cannot support this feature currently and Apple's approach feels somewhat anti "indie" developer.
You can try out mood.camera for free with a 7-day trial. After your trial has ended full access can be purchased for a one time fee of $14.99 / £14.99, or via a $1.99 / £1.99 monthly subscription.
I haven't fully decided which features should be added next. If you have a great idea reach out on the Reddit or contact me!
The emulations in mood.camera are inspired by the classic qualities of film, not the specific look of any particular film. My goal was to create a wide variety of looks, for different scenarios, that were versatile and inspiring.
Due to my limited time and the added complexity of the Android eco-system, I am only developing an iPhone version of mood.camera for the foreseeable future.
