Today we're excited to announce Halide's big iPhone Duo update! Rather than add mere compatibility, we challenged ourselves to reimagine the experience on a foldable device. This meant building three big additions that take advantage of each Duo pose. www.lux.camera/halide-for-d...

When you open the Duo, Halide takes full advantage of the wide screen real estate by adding a secondary view for reviewing your last photo. You can favorite, share, delete, or edit your last photo with a single tap. There are also controls for going full-screen.

By default, Halide's camera controls sit on the same side as the camera itself. If you tap the arrows in the sidebar, the left and right sides swap. This turns Halide into a waist-level viewfinder!

When closed, the Duo features a squarer aspect ratio than typical iPhones. We've rearranged our own toolbar to embrace the new sidebar paradigm. Despite the wide screen size, you'll find the most important controls remain within thumb reach.

QUICKSILVER's high contrast and muted color simulate a silver-retention alternative process. It's an excellent midpoint between color and stark black-and-white.

Halide supports the fully variable aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro. Rather than lock you to presets, pick any value from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0. We've added an Aperture Priority mode for easy shooting, but if you need the ISO control missing from the default iPhone camera app, manual mode has you covered!

We've also added two new looks in this update! DAWN is a new look that features filmic warmth in mid-tones and highlights, paired with rich yet gentle shadows and subtle complementary cool colors.

The film looks in Halide are very good, but I’m really loving the manual controls. Excellent for blurry Metro shots.

Some shots from a few camping trips in the last weeks, all taken and edited with the new version of #Halide. Really enjoy the updated design - and the editing side especially. #photography

Haven't played around with Halide since the first version, but got Halide Mark iii today. Here are a few of the first shots I took with it. Enjoying it so far! #shotwithhalide

Rich, saturated flowers might be the most difficult subject to capture with a digital camera. A smart phone struggles to reproduce the color as your eyes saw it. Compare the Apple camera to Halide’s “Rembrandt” process, which eschews realism for a more film-like look.

The last few days have been a bit hectic, in a good way. We couldn't have hoped for a better Mark III launch! Thank you all for your support, and we can't wait to share what we have next!

While Mark III delivers amazing results straight out of camera, we know that photo development can be an important creative tool. We set out to build something better than an editor: an intuitive way to develop photos in seconds. We call it the Photo Lab!

With Halide Mark III, we rebuilt our image processing engine to take full advantage of the iPhone camera sensor's native gamut and dynamic range. We partnered with a renowned Hollywood colorist to develop a set of amazing looks, each with a specific intent. Enough words, here's photos!

Zephyr features subtle filmic contrast, paired with rich skin tones and foliage. It has the character of a traditional print, but its neutral tone scale and tuned contrast make it a great choice for a wide variety of scenes and visual intents.

For portraits, we have Rembrandt, where thick contrast in the mid-tones emphasizes bone structure and lighting. Abundant color in the low end converges to white as exposure increases, for perfect uniformity in skin-tones to emphasize contours of the face.

We developed Valencia for landscapes and cityscapes, but it also has interesting effects on portraiture and skin tones. It features thick contrast, deep saturation, and solid color separation.

Our iPhone 17e review is here! Since it's the same camera as the 16e, we mostly focus on the software. What makes its new portrait mode different from the rest of the iPhone lineup? What's up with this weird software limitation? Read on! www.lux.camera/iphone-17e-a...
