The landscape of professional photography applications for iPhone and iPad continues to expand with specialized tools for manual control and cinematic processing. ProCamera offers users manual adjustments for focus and exposure, supporting high-resolution formats such as RAW, ProRAW, TIFF, and HEIF. The application includes video capabilities up to 4K resolution at 240 fps and supports external microphone connectivity. Recent updates have integrated support for the iPhone 18 Pro variable aperture and iOS 27. Chromagraph Camera, developed by Rian Johnson, Steve Yedlin, and Eric Cameron, focuses on a cinematic aesthetic. The app bypasses standard Apple image processing by capturing RAW data directly from the sensor and utilizing a custom mathematical pipeline to manage color, grain, and texture. Similar to film photography, the processed result is visible in a gallery after the shot is taken, allowing for non-destructive adjustments to the original RAW files. The application, which is available on the Apple App Store for a one-time payment of $12.99, uses a pipeline developed by Yedlin to manage color, tonality, grain, texture, and halation. This process aims to mimic the visual styles seen in films such as ‘Knives Out’ and ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’. Released for iOS 17.0 or later, the app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It is available in the United States for $12.99 and in Japan for 2,000 yen. Users can export processed images as JPEG or HEIC files while retaining original RAW data for future adjustments.
