BitCam

vintage one-bit photography

Published by: Heliographe

Description

A blast from the past!
Capture your photos with a unique 1-bit camera: only pure black and pure white pixels, no grayscale!
BitCam's interface is delightfully old school, featuring chunky buttons and mechanical sounds the likes of which haven't graced your screen in over 40 years.
Three different pixel resolutions let you experiment, and an 8-color mode brings you a little closer to the current day while preserving the distinct aesthetic.
Clean PNG output means you can print those files, use them in digital collages, or other art projects.
This app is dedicated to the memory of Bill Atkinson, inventor of the Atkinson dithering method that this app uses to render its photos, first made available on the original Macintosh.

BitCam Reviews

As a camera, it’s great!

This the exact effect I want to achieve, and it has a cool simple / retro interface, but I wanted to use the effect on images in my camera roll and was disappointed to see there is no import function. Maybe they’re trying to stay authentic to the simplicity of retro technology, but it’s frustrating that there are no other apps that achieve the same affect with imported images.

Superb little camera app that brings back the feeling of photos on a classic 16-bit Mac. Even the interface and sounds are fun and bring you back in time. For the people asking to be able to import photos, it actually includes a plugin for the Photos app so you can apply the dithering effects to your existing photos. Or just snap a picture directly within BitCam then save it to your camera roll using an effect. The app is very functional even without the color in-app purchase so give it a try! The $2.79 color option is well worth it in my opinion, I bought it to support the Iconfactory.

It would make my day/life if there were a video-recording function of this app.

This is a pretty neat app, but I wish there was a way to mute the sounds.

Love it to bits!

There is a lot of retro joy to be had in this app. The attention to detail is amazing. Even the way the dialog boxes appear on screen had me smiling. Nice work, Iconfactory!

Handy way to take photos

The resolution is much higher than anticipated. Although I must admit my 14.4k modem is having some trouble uploading the graphics interchange format files to CompuServe. Luckily one of the sysops there introduced suggested minimizing the colour table and now I'm all good. Great application guys!

New update seemingly broke color mode in Photos edit widget

After working great for many years and retroactively scanning photos I took with my SLR into 8-bit glory, the app kept asking me to install color graphics in the Photos edit mode. Color works fine when taking pictures still, just not for altering existing photos. I can still save black & white scans from the edit widget.

Perfect

I don’t think I can put into words the little tickle in my heart I get when I see the color photos taken with this app. It’s not a filter. You can zoom in and see all the chunky little bits of color making up the image and that alone is worth 10x the price I paid.
