## What is Bring Back Red?

Your whole dive, restored.

Bring Back Red is AI underwater color correction for the photos, Live Photos and video you bring home from scuba diving, snorkeling, freediving or an action camera. It measures what the water took from each shot and restores natural color without repainting the scene.

AI FINDS YOUR DIVES BY ITSELF

You do not tag anything or pick anything. Bring Back Red reads your camera roll, recognizes your underwater shots and groups them back into the dives they came from: photos, Live Photos and clips together. Open one and correct the whole dive in a single pass.

Shots that are already balanced stay out of the way. Only the exceptions ask for your decision.

VIDEO THAT SURVIVES THE EXPORT

Supported 8K HDR video keeps its resolution, frame rate, audio and HDR intent. Correction follows the clip as the light changes through it, rather than freezing one look over the whole thing.

Every export is reopened and checked before Bring Back Red calls it finished. If a long save is interrupted, you can finish it without processing the video again.

IT TAKES WHAT YOUR CAMERA WRITES

RAW and ProRAW from a housing, ProRes and Apple Log from an iPhone Pro, Dolby Vision and HDR video, and the everyday JPEG and HEIC.

YOU KEEP CONTROL

Preview photos and video before you commit. Adjust Intensity when you want to, or leave it alone. Export a corrected copy to Photos or Files, at full quality. Your originals stay exactly as they were, byte for byte.

IT RUNS ON YOUR PHONE

Correction happens on the device, so it works on the boat with no signal. There is no account to make, and your photos are never uploaded.

ON IPHONE AND IPAD

One app for both. On iPad the inspector stands permanently beside the photograph or the clip.

AI that measures, never invents. Your dive is corrected, never repainted.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 0.3.0 — 2026-09-14

Exporting a large clip is up to twice as fast. 5.3K and 8K video now goes through the hardware video encoder instead of falling back to software.
On iPad, a clip opens the way a photo does: Adjust sits in a column beside the video instead of covering it.
Exporting on an iPad no longer closes the app. Share is the default destination, and it could not open at all.
Moving an Adjust slider on a clip you opened after a photo no longer closes the app.
Tapping Undo after you open another photo or close a clip no longer closes the app.
Large action-camera clips no longer run the app out of memory, whether you are browsing them, running a batch, or exporting one.
A video you corrected no longer turns up as a dive of its own.
Counts read the way they should: one file says FILE, and a selection of clips is described as clips rather than photos.

### 0.2.0 — 2026-09-05

- Play corrected video with sound directly in the editor. The clip loops inside your trim, and opening Adjust or Export no longer interrupts it.
- Tap a filename to see its format, dimensions, file size, capture details, and camera metadata.
- About now lets you buy me a coffee, if the app saved you an evening.
- Intensity now changes only the automatic correction: what you set in Adjust and Pro stays where you put it.
- See which media you have already corrected directly in Gallery, without switching to a separate Library screen.
- A copy you exported no longer appears in the grid as a new, uncorrected photo.
- Color reports now ask what looks wrong and attach the best available version of the photo, including a resized copy when the original is too large.
- A dive that mixes photos and videos now offers the full export options, including format, destination and location, instead of only the quick export.
- A running batch now names the file it is on and what it is doing with it, instead of one unlabelled progress line.
- Items you have already been through in a dive are marked as edited, and reopening a clip returns to the settings you left it at rather than to Auto.
- If the final save of a video to Photos or Files is interrupted, try it again without reprocessing the video.
- A corrected photo or video now opens the way you left it, at the intensity you set, instead of being analyzed all over again.
- The first edit after opening a photo can now be undone.
- A video you reviewed in a dive now opens ready to export, instead of being analyzed a second time.
- A photo you corrected now carries its mark on the Dives tab too, not only in the full library.
- Stopping a batch export now stops it, instead of letting items already in flight carry the queue on.
- A video exported from a dive now carries the corrected mark, the same as a photo does.

### 0.1.0 — 2026-09-01
