Camera basics

  1. 01Open GhostFrame. On first launch, tap Allow to grant camera access — this is required for the live viewfinder.

  4. 04Tap the shutter to capture. Your photo saves to your library automatically.

The ghost overlay

  1. 01Tap the image icon (bottom left) to pick any photo from your library.
  2. 02The photo appears as a translucent ghost over your camera view.
  3. 03Use the opacity slider on the right edge to control how visible the ghost is.
  4. 04Tap the flip button to mirror the reference horizontally — helpful for selfies.
  5. 05Tap the reset button (circular arrow) to restore the ghost to its default position and scale.
Tip · Set opacity around 40–60% for the best balance between seeing your subject and the reference.
