Rian Johnson launches Chromagraph Camera app for iPhone

Chromagraph Camera Rian Johnson Steve Yedlin iPhone photography RAW image processing

Director Rian Johnson, cinematographer Steve Yedlin, and developer Eric Cameron have released Chromagraph Camera, a new iOS application designed to provide a cinematic aesthetic for iPhone photography. Unlike standard camera apps that apply filters to processed images, Chromagraph Camera captures RAW data from the sensor and bypasses Apple’s default computational photography, such as aggressive sharpening and tone mapping.

The app utilizes a custom image processing pipeline based on the mathematical methods used in Johnson’s films, including the Knives Out series. Users can adjust color, exposure, grain, and halation, which mimics the light diffusion seen in traditional film. To emulate the experience of analog photography, the final processed look is only visible in the app's internal gallery after the shot is taken, rather than in the real-time viewfinder.

Chromagraph Camera is available on the Apple App Store for a one-time payment of $12.99. The app preserves original high-quality RAW files while allowing users to non-destructively apply the custom look and export processed versions to their photo libraries.
