Three simple modes
Light Painting, Timelapse, and Photo Capture gave beginners a clear place to start.
LightPaint 2.0
The original app
Succeeded by LightPaint 2.0, available now
Light Paint App 1.0
Light painting without the learning curve.
The original Light Paint App took the most joyful part of long-exposure photography and made it immediate. Pick a profile, point the camera, move a light, and watch the image appear. No photography degree, no setup maze, no account required.
What version 1.0 could do
This is where the story started.
These controls, experiments, and field tools are the foundation the new app grows from.
Automatic camera setup
The app handled exposure decisions so the person holding the light could focus on creating.
Purpose-built profiles
Starting points for words, vehicles, star trails, lasers, air traffic, and free-form light art.
Live results
See the painting build while it happens instead of waiting until the exposure is over.
Phone-first controls
Large, readable controls and fast switching built for dark locations and cold hands.
Free camera experience
The core promise that carried forward into LightPaint 2.0: open the app and make something.
