Thank you, @drez, that evening will stay in my memory for a long time. 🫶

Having XP4N open and ready to quickly fire off a few frames helped immensely since you don’t have to fuss with it much. For street type stuff, it’s very helpful. I need a newer iPhone with better lowlight performance though

I feel like when I use XPAN for any amount of time my battery drains a lot faster. Maybe it's just coincidence though. Phone's getting a bit old.

Man I really, really wish there was an option to shoot all the filter types with one button press. I find that I'm not familiar enough with them to pick the right one each time, so I end up shooting them all. Takes a long time and a lot of fiddling.

(Not a complaint. Just a request.)

Hmmm.. it shouldn’t use more battery than the native photo app. Possibly even less. It also stops all activity when it goes to the background.

Does it show as a disproportionate battery hog in the list of apps using energy (in the battery settings page)?

I'll look into it further. I shouldn't have said anything without better investigation. Pls ignore.

I was wishing for this too, but the more I use it the more I’m learning what to expect. I feel like the processing is more predictable than actual film is (in a good way).

Yeh, and such lazy shortcuts as I've asked for are sort of counter to the spirit of the app. Probably not a real good request the more I think about it.

It’s been requested several times and got support from many other users.

I know it has been mentioned above, @brambos, but I would second any option to do a ‘multipass’ on a scene, as I currently find I take one using each filter in turn anyway, then wait until I get the images on a big screen with my IPad Pro or Mac mini before deciding which one(s) to pick for print or use for further digital dickering. A ‘one-click and you got ‘em all’ option would be great…

Yeah that was me but he just ignored it

@brambos just completely ignores it. His 💩 stinks just like ours and it just comes off as arrogant not to even acknowledge or discuss it. Shame really 🤷‍♂️

Thank you. 🫶 The photo was taken in Rijeka, Croatia.

Sorry my dude, perhaps I was a bit direct. Like the app a lot, appreciate it was only 0.99 but just pointing out the truth. Ignoring several customers comes across as rude. Not saying you have to implement it, but at least discuss 🤷‍♂️

Nice! Croatia has been recommended to me a lot recently, but I’ve also read that it’s become so popular with tourists lately that the prices for rooms and such have gone way up too

@brambos - you do not come off as arrogant or anything like that. You've been extremely communicative and accommodating. Please ignore the weird ones. Some people struggle with basic social skills, so they hide behind anonymous accounts and make baseless accusations.

Says the well known, easily identifiable ’tubespace’ about a proven, documented fact that the request was ignored. Yet I’m the weird one with basic social skills. Ok. 🤡😆

To all the sycophants, try and remember it started as a polite request not an order 🙄>

@null79 said:

@brambos Would you consider a new option under settings to capture ALL 6 film types with just one shutter press? I know it’s ‘cheating’ and not like the old days, when you picked your film and took your chances but, this is 2024 and I end up shooting the same shot 6 times anyway, just to see the results. I can’t be alone can I? 😬🤞

And, I did actually apologise!

brambos

Ok guys, please let it rest.

Obviously I don't make a living doing 99 cent apps, so I have a pretty intensive day job eating up most of my time. I have only a limited amount of time to keep track of - and respond to - all the communication channels where people try to contact me.

I try to read all suggestions, and consider them seriously, even if I don't openly discuss them or even acknowledge them. In fact, I have learned over the years to be careful discussing feature suggestions since even acknowledging them can raise expectations that I will actually implement them.
