Find the proportion.
Try different photographic aspect ratios over the live camera view. See how a change in the frame changes the composition.
MatteView / Composition & previsualization
See before
you shoot.
See the live scene as a framed photograph. Compare matt colors and proportions, find the composition that works, then save with or without the matt.
What the demos show
A landscape pan settles on a composition. Matt colors, proportions, and guides change around the scene. The portrait shows the same framing tools with a person.
Compose first. Then shoot.
A frame changes
what you see.
When you are looking at the real world, composition can feel overwhelming. Your eye has to sort through edges, distractions, color, shape, light, and space all at once.
MatteView gives your eye a boundary. A realistic photo matt around the live camera view turns the scene in front of you into something framed, formal, and intentional before you press the shutter.
It is a previsualization tool for composition, framing, and photographic judgment.
For photographers, artists, designers, collectors, and anyone who wants to see more clearly before they shoot.
Give the image space.
Choose a matt color and use framing guides when structure matters. Adjust the camera zoom before you shoot.
Save it your way.
Capture directly from the live preview. Save with the matt to keep that framed presentation, or without it for the photograph alone.
A few controls. A clear purpose.
