# Safelight: Film Camera & RAW

> Safelight is a free Android camera app that shoots RAW (DNG) where the phone supports it and develops every photo through its own film-style color pipeline, with six original looks, live preview, grain, halation and a non-destructive editor. It has no ads, no account, no subscription, no in-app purchases and no internet permission, so photos never leave the phone. Published by Swift Apps (swiftsofts.com).

## What it does

- Six original looks, designed from scratch (no film-stock imitations): Neutral, Daylight (soft color negative), Silver (black and white), Lamplight (night and tungsten), Slide (crisp transparency) and Bypass (muted color, hard contrast), plus the Matte recipe. Every look has a strength slider.
- The look renders live in the viewfinder; hold the Look chip to peek at Neutral. Tap to focus and meter, lock exposure and focus, exposure compensation, lens switching, aspect ratios, volume keys as shutter.
- White balance and Adapt to light keep gray days gray and lamplight warm; temperature, tint, presets and gray-card sample for fixing casts later.
- Grain added in density and scaled to the frame; halation around bright lights; sharpening you set yourself; export is always full resolution.
- Every shot is saved before anything else happens, so switching cameras right after the shutter does not lose it.
- Non-destructive editor: the original stays untouched and each edit is a small recipe saved beside it. Hold to compare with the original; save your own recipes. Import photos and DNGs from the gallery and develop them the same way.

## Who it is for

Street, travel and family photographers who want a RAW camera with a real film look, and people tired of the over-processed look of the stock camera. Safelight is a camera first and an editor second.
