Thanks for choosing PhotonCam. This version addressed the issue where some LOG-based LUTs won't have a correct look in Photo Extension.

Thanks for using PhotonCam. This version: - Fixed an issue where focus peaking would appear in portrait mode when it's configured to be enabled in Manual Focus only. Portrait mode doesn't support manual focus. - Addressed an issue where sometimes the edge pixels were semi-transparent for photos with Blurred Frame applied.

Thanks for using PhotonCam. This version: - Tapping the date/time in the image detail view will also open the photo info sheet. - Preserves favorite and tag info when exporting filters, so your organization carries over when sharing. - Supports personalizing file naming in the app settings.

Thanks for using PhotonCam. This version: - Supports selecting input and output color space for your custom LUT. You can find this feature in the photo editor (Adjustments → LUT), Filter Management (multi-select filters and set them in batch), Batch Import filters page, filter editing page, and the camera app when creating a new filter with "+". - The input color space indicates the expected color space of the LUT. The app now has multiple built-in sRGB Gamma → LOG color space presets, letting you use LUTs developed for LOG-based images. Current supported list is: Apple Log, F-Log, F-Log2, L-Log, V-Log, C-Log, C-Log2, C-Log3, S-Log, S-Log2, S-Log3, N-Log, D-Log. - The output color space indicates the output color after applying the LUT. By default it is Display P3, but some LUTs may be in Rec.709, which has a different gamma from sRGB or Display P3. - When creating a new filter, the default filter name will be the Cube name if any cube is selected. - Fixed an issue where favorited filters won’t be displayed when editing the filter list. - Supported limiting the output captured / processed photo to 24MP max. - Supported sharing DNG files only for HEIF + RAW photos. Multiple-select photos in the gallery page to begin. - You can now shift the center of the contrast S-curve toward shadows or highlights, giving you finer control over where contrast is applied. - New LC0 filter. - More bug fixes and improvements.
