Toned.

A darkroom in your pocket.

Follow a photograph through film, development, and printing. Choose a stock, change how it develops, then find the paper, exposure, and tone that make the finished print yours.

Toned brings the photographic darkroom to an existing picture on your iPhone. Its creative journey moves from scene to negative to print, with film, development, and paper treated as connected decisions. The result is an invitation to explore how a photograph is made: choose the stock, change the development, and follow the image into the print. Film previews use the person’s own photograph. Develop includes Push and pull and process controls appropriate to the stock, while Print brings paper, exposure, contrast, and test strips into the workflow. Finishing choices such as toning and dodge and burn allow further shaping of the image. Toned also makes the intermediate stages worth keeping. Alongside the finished print, people can export a negative, film strip, a contact sheet that compares one photograph across the stock collection, or a seven-second clip of the photographic chain. Toned offers a free selection and an optional one-time Plus purchase for the complete collections, expanded controls, and full-size exports without its mark.
