- For
- iPhone photographers who want a baked-in retro camera look
- Worth noticing
- The browser demo includes RGB histogram, luma waveform, and Cb/Cr vectorscope readouts that respond to changes in the preview.
Field notes
The darkroom controls let visitors change subject, film look, lens module, date stamp, and monitoring overlays; the page says each adjustment re-renders the preview pixel by pixel in the browser. Its scopes are described as measuring that preview rather than serving as decoration. Separate app descriptions list manual ISO, shutter angle, white balance, frame rate, Apple Log, and ProRes under the PRO mode.
