I was looking for such BW app on app store that utilizing lighting. hence i can make the light direction. i found Moir and Drmatic BW when I compared one-by-one, Drmatic BW wins the competition because it has multiple spotlight and more control to Noir. So i am happy with my choice here. Well done Jixipix.com
Love this!! Another great app from one of the best devs on the app store!!
I have been wanting a one-stop b&w app for a long time, and this is it. You can control color filters, exposure, contrast, vignetting (similar to Noir), toning, grain, and sharpening in a single app that saves at full resolution. And you can save your own presets. The infrared and HDR features are not very useful for me, but it doesn't matter because the other features are so awesome. Woohoo! ! (Note to the developers: this app, even more than Vintage Scene or Grungetastic, would benefit hugely from an HD version.)

JixiPix's Supercharged Retro Sophisticated Simple uberCool Dramatic Black & White was too long a name for the app store, so we were forced to edit it down.
Introducing: Dramatic Black & White.

Everyone knows it doesn't get better than classic Black & White. And it's deeper than nostalgia, simpler times and less color - it's the artistic soul of photography. Referencing one of our favorite (Ansel Adams) quotes, great Black & White photos aren't taken - they're made. Made where light and contrast, grit and form tell the story; where stone and sky, water and light transcend the material world.
JixiPix's Dramatic Black & White takes you there – and beyond. Easy-to-use, fully customizable presets serve up the classic Black & White looks of the past and the cutting-edge styles of the present. This app starts by leaving color in the rearview mirror, then enables you to make your photos through expert adjustments to contrast, light, texture and shape. Before your eyes, watch your photos transform into dramatic and timeless works of art.
We like to think of Dramatic Black & White as a jazzy, chemical-free, 21st Century darkroom in an app. Use it and your photos can be more than good or very good.
They can be Oh.My.Gosh. good.
We're pleased to say - it used to be much harder.
In photography's past, pressing the shutter button was always just the beginning. It was later, in the darkroom, where much of the magic happened. It took years of training, trial-and-error, and all sorts of chemical and physical processes for a fortunate few to finish 'making their photos' and, hopefully, bring their photographic visions to life. It was hard, and O.M.G. photos were rare - but it was the only way.
In today's digital world, most everyone is fortunate to have a camera to express their unique experiences and vision. However, along with film, we've lost the darkroom's completion. More photos are taken. Fewer are finished. Fewer are made. Their light is flat, their edges rough. Their subject stays in the shadows. Their sea flows into their sky…
We suggest you buck that trend.

Dramatic Black & White (of course) first removes color, immediately taking your photos to higher ground. Then the amazing and customizable Black & White presets and tools, including the exclusive JixiPix 'ellipse spotlight', enable you to easily and expertly focus and fine-tune light, contrast, texture and form. These are the tools you need to make a great photograph – your own personal drag & click & slide darkroom. There are no mistakes you can't fix, no limit to your vision, no stopping until you're finished, nothing to hold you back from truly 'making your photos' and making them - Oh.My.Gosh. good.
Perfect for shots of majestic Yosemite Valley, Roman street scenes, your wedding kiss – or a 2012 Camaro SS – anything you love. Give some love to your photos – start making them.
