About This Tool
The iPhone 4 era has a distinctive photo vibe: less aggressive sharpening, a more natural grain/noise texture, and color that feels a bit warmer and simpler than modern computational photography.
This iPhone 4 filter recreates that aesthetic. Start with the iPhone 4 preset, then adjust grain and softness until edges feel slightly relaxed — especially in skin tones and low light.
For the strongest iPhone 4 feel, try this recipe: Grain 35–45, Softness 25–35, Saturation 40–48, Warmth 55–62, plus a small amount of fade and vignette. Daylight scenes need less grain; night scenes usually need more softness and bloom.
