Frequently Asked Questions

Is Shottr free?

Shottr can be used for free for as long as you want. Most of its features are available to free users; the main caveat is that the app will ask you to consider buying it every once in a while. Shottr generally provides a better overall experience in the activated version, and I plan to add more features and raise its price in the future.

Can Shottr upload the image online and copy link?

Shottr has the upload feature, but it needs to be activated. Here are more details on how it works.

Which macOS versions are supported?

Shottr runs on macOS Catalina (10.15) and up.

When and why does Shottr contact Shottr.cc?

After launch Shottr contacts https://shottr.cc/api/version.json to check for an update. It won't download a new version, but will notify you with a red icon in the toolbar. Shottr needs an internet connection to validate and activate the license. It also sends home telemetry to help me find bugs, measure performance and gauge popularity of certain features. Telemetry does not contain any personal or identifiable information. It's not used for advertising or retargeting purposes, and is never sold to the third parties. There's an option to turn off telemetry collection in the app Preferences. Earlier versions of Shottr included Google Analytics code, but it was removed in v1.5.1.

Exposure X8 ships with dozens of "Light" overlays (lens flares, light leaks). Drag one onto your image. Set blend mode to "Screen." Use the "Mask" button to erase the light leak from your subject’s face. You get an analog light leak effect without destroying skin tones.

You can increase exposure by combining changes to:

Example combination (+8 stops total):

Click the "Presets" tab. Type "Portra 400." Apply it. Suddenly, your digital raw file has creamy highlights, lifted blacks, and a pastel color palette. This takes two seconds. Because of the layer system, you can now dial the "Opacity" of that film look down to 60% if it's too strong. Exposure X8: Unleashing the Power of Advanced Image

Creativity requires flow. Nothing kills the mood of editing faster than a sluggish interface or a cluttered hard drive. Exposure X8 continues its philosophy of being a "non-destructive" editor that lives lightly on your system.

Unlike catalog-heavy behemoths that require you to import every file into a master database, X8 works seamlessly with your existing file structure. You point it at a folder, and you are ready to edit. This approach feels incredibly liberating. It respects the photographer's organizational habits rather than imposing its own.

Speed is the unsung hero of this version. The rendering engine is snappy, allowing for real-time zooming, panning, and switching between presets without the lag that often plagues heavy image processors. It is designed to keep up with the photographer's eye, ensuring that the moment of inspiration isn't lost to a spinning loading icon.

Photoshop users know the power of "Blend If." Exposure X8 now brings this into the raw editing space. You can now blend layers based on the underlying luminance or RGB channels. This allows you to, for example, apply a grain texture only to the midtones or add a color grade exclusively to the highlights without complex masking.

Context: Bracketing exposures for HDR or low-light capture.

"Setting your camera to exposure x8 means you are capturing a dynamic range spanning eight distinct stops of light. In practical terms, this is an aggressive bracketing configuration: starting from a baseline metered value, the camera will produce four underexposed frames (e.g., -1, -2, -3, -4 EV) and three overexposed frames (+1, +2, +3 EV) or a symmetrical ±4 EV spread. At x8 exposure variance, shadow regions become pure black in the darkest frame, while highlights in the brightest frame risk full clipping. This technique is reserved for extreme contrast scenes—such as an interior with a sunlit window—where standard ±2 EV brackets fail to retain detail. Merging these eight exposures in post-production yields a 32-bit floating-point HDR image with virtually no noise in the midtones."
