Mono Lab

Experiment in black and white.

$4.99 · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A black and white image playground - 158 ways to break, bend, and re-form an image. Create. Distort. Reimagine. Mono Lab is designed for exploring the unexpected. Experiment with images in black and white. From subtle relief to structural collapse, topology drift, mesh warps, fracture effects, misregistration, and controlled instability, every tool is built for focused experimentation. Responsive. Direct. Tactile. // Interactive Filters (X) Distortion that responds to you. Shift the image through movement and contact. Tilt to bend structure. Rotate to redirect tension. Touch to anchor, drag to stretch, hold to resist. Each gesture leaves a trace. Each motion reshapes the result. // 3D Surface Mode A dimensional approach to distortion. Map images across 12 surfaces and interpret them through 13 lenses. Adjust depth. Refine spatial tension. Each surface behaves differently. Each lens reshapes the outcome. Monochromatic. Structure, tone, dimension, possibility. What You Can Do • 158 filters for black and white distortion • Touch and motion control transformations • 12 surfaces. 13 lenses • Press, drag, and hold to reshape the image like a surface • Refine light, contrast, and structure • Warp topology and form • Collapse, fracture, and distort • Create raster and vector outputs • Build layered misregistrations • Adjust pressure, grain, and tone • Stack transformations • Save your favorite filters to the Index • Save directly to Files Mono Lab is for designers, artists, photographers, illustrators, and visual experimenters working in black and white.

MONO LAB 5.1 Quick Fixes: Fixed an issue where the projects intermittently wouldn't move to directories. MYSM and and TMPS filter outputs were fixed to match the view finder version more accurately. // PROJECTS - Your work now lives somewhere. A full project system: every edit is saved as a recipe, automatically. Reopen a project days later and pick up exactly where you left off. Organize projects into folders. Browse everything in a new directory with thumbnails. // TEAR TABLE. A new surface tool. Tear your image into pieces like paper (draw the tear lines yourself) then rearrange the scraps into a collage and flatten at full resolution. //COPY BED - Run your image through a machine that was never serviced and move the image while you do. Duplication with degradation. // FINE CONTROL! Every slider now supports fine-precision scrubbing - drag away from the track to slow the scale down.
