What does the Date Stamp effect change?

Date Stamp recreates a recognizable camera or lab presentation around the source, preserving the photograph while adding its characteristic frame and recording details. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Date Stamp?

Choose Date Stamp for portrait sessions that need an analog mood, album covers and editorial stories, or social series that need consistent camera character when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains technical records, already damaged scans, or tiny compressed files where added grain and optical texture can hide essential detail.
