How Apperture compares

Apperture is a film exposure simulator. It shows you how a scene will look on a specific film stock before you take the shot. It overlaps with film preset apps, manual camera apps, and light meter apps, but it isn't quite any of them.

Here's how it compares.

Film simulation apps

• VSCO alternative. VSCO applies film looks after the shot. Apperture simulates before.
• Huji Cam alternative. Huji gives one disposable camera aesthetic. Apperture has 30+ film stocks.

Manual camera apps

• Obscura alternative. Obscura is a capture tool for iOS. Apperture adds film simulation and supports Android.
• Halide alternative. Halide is for RAW shooters. Apperture is for film shooters.

Light meter apps

• Light Me alternative. Light Me meters the scene. Apperture meters it and shows you what it'll look like on film.
