With a nod to the past we present the only app that recreates the look of the classic Type 55 film. Type 55 was a black and white 4X5 sheet film that produced both a positive and negative image. While the positive image was for review and intended to be discarded later, the border proved to be interesting and many famous photographers incorporated it into their final product.

With Photo55 you can finally create iconic Type 55 images with your iPhone and without all the chemical goop.

NOTE: Version 1.0 works best with photos taken natively with the iPhone. Photos in your albums taken with other cameras will be processed with mixed results. We plan an update soon to address some of these issues.

Since we are paying homage to a film that produced a 4x5 image, the app will not accommodate square photos taken with other apps.
