DNG FILE MANAGER

DNG files stored into the app storage. File can be view and compose, share, remove.

Right bottom button can change view the calendar and list.

🎉Ver.1.2.0 – To compose multi images, tap the right top button then selects images which will be composed. After that, tap the center bottom button then choose the filter, tap OK.

1st selected image is source image. 2nd selected image is background image.

🎉Ver.1.3.0 – Blending UX improved. You can see preview before blending.

Blending mode:

“Addition Compositing” – Adds color components to achieve a brightening effect.

“Color Blend” – Uses the luminance values of the background with the hue and saturation values of the source image.

“Color Burn Blend” – Darkens the background image samples to reflect the source image samples.

“Color Dodge Blend” – Brightens the background image samples to reflect the source image samples.

“Darken Blend” – Creates composite image samples by choosing the darker samples (from either the source image or the background).

“Difference Blend” – Subtracts either the source image sample color from the background image sample color, or the reverse, depending on which sample has the greater brightness value.

“Divide Blend” – Divides the background image sample color from the source image sample color.

“Exclusion Blend” – Produces an effect similar to that produced by the CIDifferenceBlendMode filter but with lower contrast.

“Hard Light Blend” – Either multiplies or screens colors, depending on the source image sample color.

“Hue Blend” – Uses the luminance and saturation values of the background image with the hue of the input image.

“Lighten Blend” – Creates composite image samples by choosing the lighter samples (either from the source image or the background).

“Linear Burn Blend” – バックグラウンド画像サンプルを暗くして、ソース画像サンプルを反映させます。

“Linear Dodge Blend” – Brightens the background image samples to reflect the source image samples while also increasing contrast.

“Luminosity Blend” – Uses the hue and saturation of the background image with the luminance of the input image.

“Maximum Compositing” – Computes the maximum value, by color component, of two input images and creates an output image using the maximum values.

“Minimum Compositing” – Computes the minimum value, by color component, of two input images and creates an output image using the minimum values.

“Multiply Blend” – Multiplies the input image samples with the background image samples.

“Multiply Compositing” – Multiplies the color component of two input images and creates an output image using the multiplied values.

“Overlay Blend” – Either multiplies or screens the input image samples with the background image samples, depending on the background color.

“Pin Light Blend” – Conditionally replaces background image samples with source image samples depending on the brightness of the source image samples.

“Saturation Blend” – Uses the luminance and hue values of the background image with the saturation of the input image.

“Screen Blend” – Multiplies the inverse of the input image samples with the inverse of the background image samples.

“Soft Light Blend” – Either darkens or lightens colors, depending on the input image sample color.

“Source Atop Compositing” – Places the input image over the background image, then uses the luminance of the background image to determine what to show.
