## Description

Wise Camera is a Chrome extension that overlays 15 artistic photo compositions in your camera view to guide mindful framing and elevate your shots. It distills centuries of composition into practical rules with tips, in-depth descriptions, guides, and examples for each rule, so you can craft visually compelling photographs, paintings, or designs.

Includes 15 rules: Harmonic Armature, Rule of Thirds, Symmetry, Phi Grid, Fibonacci Spiral, Golden Triangles, Vanishing Point, Framing Depth, Landscape Depth, Leading Lines, Lines and Patterns, Fill the Frame, Negative Space, Left to Right, and Dynamic Symmetry. The first two rules are free; full access is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Support is available at the Digiguys site, and related apps are offered.

## Review summary

Wise Camera provides real-time overlays that teach composition and speed up capturing well-framed photos, with optional save-or-not overlays for comparison. Common drawbacks include orientation/overlay misalignment, a desire for manual camera controls, UX friction around adding guides, and occasional slow shutter performance. Overall, a strong learning tool with notable limitations.

### Pros

- Real-time composition overlays in the camera view guide framing as you shoot.
- Excellent for learning photography composition rules and improving your eye.
- Saves time by helping you capture well-composed shots on the first take.
- Flexible guidance with multiple grids/diagrams and the option to save photos with or without overlays for comparison.
- Simple, powerful, and well-thought-out tool praised for aiding composition.

### Cons

- Orientation issues: grid/overlay defaults to landscape and can misalign when the photo orientation differs, with rotations or mis-sized overlays.
- Lacks manual camera controls; some reviewers feel it isn't worth paying for without manual controls.
- UX friction around adding lines/grid and discovering how to use dynamic guides (extra taps and unclear steps).
- Occasional slow shutter release performance.
