The Digital Darkroom for Purists. Acetate bridges pure RAW capture and the soul of analog film — now for stills and motion. Built for image-makers who understand that a frame is made, not taken. Every adjustment runs on-device: no cloud, no account, no tracking. PURE RAW CAPTURE Shoot Apple ProRAW (DNG) on every supported iPhone. Acetate bypasses standard processing and writes the sensor's uncompressed data straight to your library, preserving every stop of dynamic range for post. PRO SHOOTING MODES Full manual or assisted: Auto, Program (P), Shutter Priority (S), ISO Priority, Manual (M), Night, and Long Exposure to 30 seconds. Swap ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto with a tap, or flip to the front camera. Self-timer and burst on the hardware shutter. MOTION — SHOOT CINE Video with the same discipline as stills. Full manual ISO, shutter, white balance, and focus. Up to 4K, high frame rates on supported devices, 10-bit Apple Log, ProRes 422, or HEVC. Cinematic stabilisation, Cine mode with shutter-angle control, broadcast timecode, and multi-source audio with a live meter. Bake a LUT into the file, or keep it monitor-only and grade later. THE VIDEO EDITOR Open any clip — from your library or shared straight into Acetate. Trim with frame-accurate handles, scrub and step a frame at a time, apply any look or your own .cube LUT, push exposure and tone, hold to compare, and export at source quality. The same colour pipeline as the photo editor, frame by frame. FILM LOOKS Twenty 3D LUTs in two families: research-informed film-stock emulations (Soft 400, Warm 200, Slide 100, Mono, Noir…) and art-directed looks (Teal & Orange, Bleach Bypass, '90s Cinema, Golden Hour…). Press and hold to preview live. OPEN LUT Tap any filter and the editor sliders move to reflect the look — see exactly what each LUT is doing and tweak from there. A tick mark shows the filter's value; reset snaps back, long-press clears to zero. Works for built-in films, looks, and imported .cube LUTs. BAKE YOUR OWN LUTs Save any edit as a portable .cube LUT and apply it to photos and videos with one tap — or load it in the camera and shoot your own signature look. Import from Files, iCloud, or AirDrop, in the camera or the editor. Export to Lightroom, Premiere, or DaVinci. THE EDITOR Full-strength tools: three-way colour grading wheels with per-range luma, OkLab perceptual HSL, RGB curves, split toning, filmic highlight rolloff, dehaze, texture, edge-aware denoise, and selective masks — radial, linear-gradient, and one-tap Subject / Person / Background / Sky via Apple's Vision framework. ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE Smart tools that run on your iPhone — and explain themselves. Smart LUT writes a per-scene recipe, then drops it onto editable sliders so you see and adjust every move. Plus auto-enhance, auto-straighten, and one-tap Object Removal (A15 / M1 or newer). PRO TOOLS Live RGB and luminance histograms, a luma waveform, zebras, false-colour exposure, focus peaking, a manual-focus loupe, framing guides, and a haptic level indicator. Continuous Kelvin/tint white balance with lock, plus AE lock — in photo and video, no drift mid-shot. PRIVACY FOCUSED Your photos and videos are yours. No account, no cloud, no analytics. Location is used strictly for EXIF geotagging on what you capture, and never leaves your device. Capture, edit, AI, and export all work offline. Don't just filter. Develop. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-16 Video — capture - Photo/Video toggle; full manual controls in video (ISO, shutter, EV, WB, focus) - Resolution + frame-rate picker up to 4K 120/240 fps; default 24 fps - Apple Log (10-bit), ProRes 422, HEVC; LUT baked-in or preview-only - Cinematic stabilisation; Cine mode + shutter-angle picker; shutter in degrees / clean 1/x steps - Multi-source audio, record-level (gain), live audio meter, mute; broadcast timecode Video — editor & gallery (new) - Video editor: trim, LUT presets + import .cube, light adjustments, play/scrub timeline, frame-step, hold-to-compare, source-quality export to Photos + Acetate album - Gallery shows videos + photos, endless scroll, duration badges - "Edit in Acetate" share-sheet support for videos Pro camera (photo + video) - Pro white balance (Kelvin + tint + lock); AE/exposure lock - Luma waveform monitor; draggable histogram + audio meter (position saved) - Focus-magnify loupe on manual focus; aspect-ratio framing guides - Front (selfie) camera — manual controls, mirroring, flip - Import .cube LUTs from the camera filter strip; 14 built-in looks re-authored - Shutter snaps to ⅓-stop DSLR scale; lens-ring long-press step; incompatible settings auto-correct/grey out Fixes & accuracy - 48 MP ProRAW capture fix; orientation correctness on tilt/flip - EXIF + location metadata preserved on filtered photos and locked-camera shots - Permission strings updated to cover video; recorded videos join the Acetate album; gallery icon refreshes after a clip - Extensive stability/layout/colour fixes across camera and video ### 1.1.2 — 2026-05-26 What's New in 1.1.4 • Lock-screen camera reaches full parity with the main app. Every manual control (ISO, shutter, focus, white balance), lens picker, shooting modes, histograms, settings drawer — all available before you unlock. Trailing slot swaps from the gallery thumb to an "Open in Acetate" button. • "Saving…" / "Saved" toast now appears on the main app camera too, matching the locked-camera behaviour. • Bug fixes ### 1.1.1 — 2026-05-20 Big update. New camera and editor features, plus fixes throughout. Open LUT. Every filter now becomes a fully-editable preset. Tap a film and the editor sliders physically move to reflect the look — see exactly what the filter is doing, then tweak from there. A small tick mark on each slider marks the filter's value; tap reset to snap back, long-press to clear to zero. Works for both built-in films and your imported .cube LUTs (values are estimated from the cube for imports). Smart LUT. Tap Generate in the filter strip and Acetate's on-device AI writes a per-photo recipe tuned to your scene — Portrait, Landscape, Food, Night, Golden Hour, Architecture, Nature, or a subtle fallback. Regenerate for a different take. Save as a reusable filter via the existing Save flow. 10 new Artistic Looks alongside the film emulations: Dusk, Cinematic, Pastel, Vivid Punch, Faded, Teal & Orange, Bleach Bypass, Moody Night, Golden Hour, High Key. Each ships with hand-tuned slider values so Open LUT lights up the moment you tap. Selective masking with Vision. One-tap Subject, Person, Background, and Sky masks — on-device, no cloud. Apply local exposure, colour and sharpness adjustments through the detected region. Sky uses an on-device heuristic and works best on outdoor photos with a clear horizon. Self-timer and Burst. 3s / 10s countdown with a viewfinder readout and haptic ticks; hold the hardware shutter for rapid-fire capture. Favorites for your LUTs. Long-press any user filter to favorite — favorites pin to the front of the strip with a star badge. Custom focal length indicator. Pinch to a non-preset zoom and the lens chip now reads ×1.3 (or whatever) instead of silently showing the nearest preset. AE/AF lock hint in the Pro Mode card — points you at the iOS Settings → Camera Control → Light Press toggle that turns a half-press into a DSLR-style focus + exposure lock (iOS 18.2+). Bug fixes. • Manual mode no longer drifts — ISO and shutter now actually lock when you switch to Manual. • Switching back to Auto fully resets focus and white balance, not just exposure. • Tapping Default while a user LUT is active now correctly clears it. • Your manual exposure values (ISO, shutter, EV, white balance, focus, lens, focal length) now persist across launches. Privacy unchanged. Everything runs on-device. No cloud, no analytics, no accounts. ### 1.0 — 2026-05-18 No release notes. ## More apps by BMB ENTERPRISES LTD - [MySport - Sport & Fitness](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mysport-sport-and-fitness/id1595044455) All apps by BMB ENTERPRISES LTD: https://appshunter.io/developer/1447857231 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
