Optimized distortion filters:
// Temporal Shatter - Time fractures across the image. Moments split, repeat, and misalign, as if multiple exposures are trying to exist at once.
// Pressure Veil - Invisible forces reshape the image. Structure compresses, swells, and bends as if pressed through shifting fields.
// Consumption - Dark mass overtakes the image. Structure is gradually absorbed, leaving behind only fragments of what was there.
# Filter Info Overlay fix - Tap the "?" button next to any filter name to see an explanation of the filter concept, how it behaves, and tips for getting the most out of it. Tap anywhere to dismiss.

Performance and thumbnail optimizations
Mono Lab 3.3 - 3 new filters, 6 optimized
Dither Press - Tone decomposition filter with three distinct modes.
Overlight - Live animated luminance filter. Highlights shimmer and breathe with two animation modes.
Lines - Vertical polyline displacement filter flows around the contours of your photo, creating a warped wireframe-like interpretation.
Optimized:
Dot Field - Digital stippling filter
Bitmap Ghost - Destroyed bitmap print simulation
Moiré Drift - Live animated moiré interference pattern with optical shimmer and tonal displacement
Velvet Phase - Smooth, rich grayscale tonal filter
Hollow Tone - Edge-focused tonal filter with adjustable edge retention
New Filters
Dot Field (DOTF) - Digital stippling filter
Bitmap Ghost (BMGX) - Destroyed bitmap print simulation
Moiré Drift (MOIR) - Live animated moiré interference pattern with optical shimmer and tonal displacement
Velvet Phase - Smooth, rich grayscale tonal filter
Hollow Tone - Edge-focused tonal filter with adjustable edge retention
Performance Enhancements
Viewfinder Mode - Triple-tap the logo for a clean, distraction-free editing view
Fragment Union Scatter upgrade for more creative control
Optimizations across 6 X/Warp filters
Better preview-to-export consistency across all filters
X Filters - Motion based filter optimization.
The six reactive filters have been streamlined behind the scenes. Tilt to shift thresholds, melt surfaces, collapse ink, and create ghostly trails… all in real time. Capture any moment with the FREEZE button to export exactly what you see.
X Filters - Your Motion, Your Image
Six new reactive filters that respond to how you hold and move your phone. Tilt to shift thresholds, melt surfaces, collapse ink, and create ghostly trails… all in real time. Capture any moment with the FREEZE button to export exactly what you see.
Six new Distort filters let you tap anywhere on your image to set the effect center. Spin pixels into a vortex with Event Horizon, stretch them like elastic fabric with Gravity Stretch, or shatter them into corrupted signal fragments with Fragment Field: each with a shape picker and fine-tuned controls. Three new Live filters that let you Freeze and capture your image.
Five new vector filters: Trace Tone, Relief, Echo Grid, Parasite, and Residual Self.

Performance & Polish
Faster rendering, sharper exports, cleaner controls, and a streamlined filter library. 124 filters total. All processing stays on your device.
New Filters
Edge Halo - Creates a glowing edge-trace effect around subjects
Phase Veil - Organic band warping with subject emphasis for dreamy, layered looks
Signal Drift - Parallel scan-lines that follow image tone with natural drift
Signal Field - Flow-field lines that trace image gradients for a topographic, engraved look
Improved Filters
Local Threshold - New geometric shape options for varied pattern styles
Engraving - Advanced angle, jitter, and adaptive spacing controls
Refined Experience
Streamlined slider controls across multiple filters: fewer knobs, better defaults
Better stability when working with 3D surfaces
Performance and code quality improvements under the hood
This update expands Mono Lab’s halftone and surface tools.
• New halftone shapes: squares and plus grids
