What's New In This Version:
This update introduces a new dimension of creative expression to Darkroom: Content-Aware Frames. To celebrate, we're also launching a new premium filter pack to complement the frames: DuoTone Filters. We've also packed this update with a large amount of enhancements and bug fixes addressing many of our most reported issues.


● Frame Tool - Free
With frames you can extend or enhance a photo beyond its original bounds. Our industry-first *Content-Aware Color Palette* will analyze your image and generate frames that perfectly match your photo. We also include curates palettes like pastel, gray-tones, and bold colors.

We also make it easier to display or share your photos with *Frame Inset Presets*, making sure you can have a lot more fun sharing as Stories or Status.

● DuoTone Filters - Premium
The brand new Duo Tone filters are a bold, colorful, and playful alternative to black and white photos. And are a wonderfully graphic pairing to our new Frame Tool. The frames will perfectly match your photo's mood and truly enhance and extend them.

● Privacy Enhancement
Photos are some of your most private data, and with GPS location commonly embedded, can contain a wealth of information about your personal life. With an eye on privacy, Darkroom 3.6 adds a location toggle to enable and disable embedding location information in photos when exporting. That way location can be maintained privately on your phone for captured photos, but can be removed when sharing to third party platforms to prevent tracking.
