What's New in Film(ish) photo video editing

1.9

October 27, 2026

Embrace Imperfection LENS Lens simulation, in Effects. 5 lens presets: Helios, Biotar, Cooke, Dispo and Anamorphic. Every element of the lens character is fully tunable: Tilt, Lens Vignette, Color Cast, Bokeh, Chromatic Aberration, Fringing, Coma, Sharpness and Distortion. Bokeh is driven by lens shape – the Lens Blur effect will replace it with a depth-based bokeh but preserve all other lens characteristics. MATCH Match: new color grading tool – select a reference photo to match colors, contrast and brightness. Adjust each individually and use “Protect skin” to set how much these adjustments affect skin tones. DAMAGE AND PAPER Damage, in Effects, brings all the artifacts that come with scanning film: Dust, Fine Dust, Hairs, Scratches and Stains. The effect is fully procedural. On video, the dust changes every frame. Paper, in Effects, simulates the photo as a print. Surface sets paper type: Lustre, Silk, Linen, Matte or Laid. Print renders the photo as ink: Newsprint, Offset, Magazine or Book halftone. Folds, Wear, and Age complete the look. CURVES Curves replaces Levels in Grading: more precision and flexibility. Luma, Red, Green and Blue curves with two edit modes: Parametric or Spline. LAB Contrast, in Curves: adjust color contrast in Oklab color space. Use it to control saturation without affecting brightness. DEHAZE, HEAL AND CLONE Dehaze in Exposure (below Clarity) clears haze, mist and smoke, or adds it. Heal and Clone join Generate Fill in Erase. They fill by intelligently sampling the same photo, so no pixels are generated. PRINT Noritsu, in Print beside Frontier: a second lab-scan look – a gentler S-curve, lighter mids, slightly lifted blacks, cooler whites and peach skin. Frontier is free. The SP3000 print is called Frontier and no longer needs Pro, and a free slide film on a Normalized RAW prints on Frontier automatically. FILM FRAMES Film frames from 8mm to 120. The Film frame has a gauge row – 8mm, 16mm, 35mm and 120. – 8mm and 16mm are optimized for video to simulate an overscanned movie strip with unique variations on each individual frame. When the Super 8 frame is used on a clip, it will render at 18 frames a second and add motion blur to match the frame rate and shutter angle of a Super 8 camera. – 120 Shape places the photo in the film gate of a 120 camera. – 35mm edge print: the maker's marks along the strip, name and frame numbers, DX code. VIDEO Log clip decoding supports more profiles and the color conversion is more flexible. – Skin, Selective Color and Noise Reduction now available in the video editor too. – Frame rate option in video export. – Bulk export now works with video too. ALSO – Copy Edits on one device and Paste on another. Sync Copied Edits requires Handoff. – Edit the time and date printed by the Date stamp under Text. – New in Settings: Export ▸ Effects quality. – New in Settings: default Print for non-RAW photos. Off, Frontier or Noritsu. – HDR scopes: with HDR on, the histogram and scopes accurately display HDR stops. IMPROVED – Improved highlight recovery on iPhone HDR photos and on log and HDR clips. – Refined Halation and bloom on video. – Flare shape is improved and has new options: Min and Max Source Size. – Lens Blur combines subject and depth masks to refine complex outlines like hair. – Chromatic Aberration updated for more realistic rendering. – Weave effect is refined for extra realism. – Rec.709 HEVC video exports in 10-bit. – Heavy exports run in stages with memory checks for extra stability and fewer failures. FIXED – Fixed erased photos synced to another device arriving without the erase. – Fixed .cube LUTs saved on Windows failing to import as "Not a 3D LUT". – Fixed halation, bloom and mist smearing a glow along the frame's edge where the edge cuts through a light. – Fixed the anamorphic flare in an export picking different lights than the preview. – Fixed highlights above white flattening on HDR clips with an Analog frame and Halation or Diffusion.

Very comprehensive editor/all in one! - few suggestions

Loving the app so far!
A few things I’d like from the desktop integration:
-Button or hotkey toggles say like backslash or letter that would prompt us to see the original photo. A before and after swipe would help too.
-With batch editing a film strip for each photo would be helpful to edit multiples.
- Desktop integration to pull photos from files/download not just the photo app.
-Ability to mask or paint on halation effects.

Wish there was a Mac app now

Literally the best photo editing app I’ve ever used

This might be the best film app I've seen

I've tried so many apps that claim to emulate film and so far, this is the best one. Custom controls for glow, halation, and grain are levels above apps like Lightroom, Snapseed, and Liit (my previous fave). Highly recommend. I haven't even tried the pro paid version, a lot of these are available for free and they still transform your photo and give it that soft natural feel, removing the iPhones annoyingly over sharpedened mechanical feel. Highly recommend for photo enthusiasts! The presets make this a one-click solution, or let you go as deep in editing as you care to. Thank you for creating this app.

Vibe coded slop

Do not pay for this. Just someone trying to make a quick buck. The implementation of many filters is poor.

Why does the app crash when downloading from the tools section? There is an error causing it to close.
