This used to be a great program but now when I take a photo it crashes

I can’t take a photo it crashes. If I press the email support button an error message pops up. Their site doesn’t list this product anymore. I think I can still load and edit fusion photos on my camera role.

I really liked this as it allowed me to take excellent photos and do a quick hdr treatment to get really realistic photos snd match the scene. But alas I can’t use it now.

App quits on latest iOS release

I have used this app for a while now and it was working fine until the latest iOS update. Every time I take a picture, the app crashes. I tried to contact support and their support access page gives you 15 seconds to write your help request before you have to punch “I’m not a robot” before you continue. I don’t what joker thought that was a good idea, but until you fix the app and get a proper support request access port that lets you make a request for help, you get one star.., fix it and I will update my review!

Not flexible

Why does it HAVE to be 3 photos to merge?

6 years ago I had an identical app and it was 2 photos.

One light exposure. One dark exposure.

I don’t mind the clunky iOS 4 style interface, but WHY 3 photos?

My main usage for this app was to take my own pictures and fuse them. Lining up 2 photos perfectly was hard enough, now in order to use this at all I’ll need a 3rd... I guess medium light shot?

The app seems to work but right now I have serious buyers remorse. I’ll probably not open this app again until they update it to allow fusion of only 2 images. Ideally I’d like a refund, because I didn’t know they would have this weird 3 photo situation

Random photo sizes

I just too 3 HDR photos with this app, all of which saved to my camera roll at different sizes, off by a few pixels each. This makes it tough to use the photos in another HDR app (Hmmmmm!).

Since this hasn’t been updated in a couple of years I’m guessing nothing will be done about it, but prospective buyer beware.

Turns you into a pro photographer

Seriously, Fusion has enabled me to take photos that literally would have been impossible using a standard camera app, even those that include a basic HDR capability. I’ve tried a LOT of camera apps, but the ability to extensively post-process your photos with Fusion generates truly remarkable results.

A forgotten jewel!

I've bought, literally, hundreds of iOS apps, most in the photography/videography category. At some point in the not too distant past, I bought Fusion but failed to fully assess its capabilities. So it was ignored in my Camera folder. Finally, I methodically compared identical high contrast subjects taken with six different apps that claimed hdr enhancement. Fusion proved to be clear winner in producing high resolution merged shots capturing full tonality and detail! Plus, it offers all of the adjustments to achieve perfect shots. Really impressive! (Hope that the developer continues to upgrade this fine tool.)

No real HDR bracketing

Unfortunately this app does not take several shots with different exposures.
It’s just a standard photo app with nice options, but the bracketing is faked with the same shot.
The result is very far from any other real HDR app which uses several exposures.
The editing options are nice but there is plenty of other options for a standard camera app that do not lie about its features like this one.

Turn your iPhone into a Google Pixel!

I have bought every HDR app on the App Store and this is by far my favorite. It takes stunning photos from the outset, and although I hate manual post photo editing, this is the only app I have ever used that made editing easy for a super novice like myself!

Great results -- only wish bluetooth trigger would work with it

Great for HDR photos beating the Apple Camera app. It doesn't however work with a bluetooth camera trigger. Unless you need that trigger it's a product worth your time and money.

FUSION:

Like this app a lot. Gives tools for being creative with your photos or for making bad ones better. Very user-friendly! I would definitely recommend to others. I especially like the warmer/cooler, saturation and shadows features.

Awesome 👩🏻👌🏻🍄☀️🌺🌸

Great app for contrast the scenes. Ever have a photo where you get the foreground expose but the sky is over exposed or vice versa this app fixes that takes three pictures and merges it together and then you have controls after to tweak it like temperature sharpness exposure highlights etc.
They do have a little tutorial but the trick is move the Square to where you want the exposure to be then lock the exposure by tapping the lock button and then do the same for the focus but you can do the focus in a different area after you lock in the exposure.
I went hiking today and took some really great photos with this app. Read the in-app guide which was very helpful

Awesome!

I'm not an accomplished, knowledgeable photographer, and I don't have to be with this app. My iPhone 6 photos are now awesome. I just have to remember to take them out in the Fusion app, as you can't adjust, improve ones you take with the regular iPhone camera.

Paid version has ads obscuring interface

Does a pretty good job of merging the bracketed images. I like that you can go into the library and adjust the sliders on the spot or later. But it would be nice to have the option to automatically save the merged image to Photos. They lose 2 stars for ads in a paid app. That's a big no-no!

I bought this as part of a bundle and still have to see ads, their own, which they call 'messages'. A 'message' which annoyingly obscures part of the interface and won't go away until I click on it and am taken to another screen trying to sell me on more of their products is still an ad. I want to whip out my phone and take a photo of a landscape without having to jump through hoops to get rid of ads which are in my way. ECP: Do not annoy your paying customers if you want them to ever buy another app from you.

Great addition to basic photo app

I've taken quite a few photos with just the regular camera app, and they're completely blown out, but then I'll take the same photo with the fusion app and everything is metered properly. Awesome app.

still working with it

Although my comparisons have proven to me that this app is better than the built-in camera app, I still want better images from Fusion.

I'd love to find a way to work with 2 of the exposures rather than all 3, but if it exists, I haven't found it yet.

I also wish I could find a reset button for the sliders, but again, can't find anything like that.

And sliders to adjust the exposure range would be terrific too. I look forward to updates!

Won't work with existing pictures.

I bought this, wanting to merge some pictures I had already taken with another camera using exposure bracketing, but this app apparently only works with pictures taken within the app. A big letdown. Wish I had known this since I have many other apps that can already do what this one does. If it ever supports camera roll pictures for creating HDR, I will up my review rating.

It works fine. Interface needs polishing.

Does what it's suppose to do. The interface however leaves much to be desired. Include the Photo Library as a main choice instead of going thru the Help and More button. Easy access of the photo library is the most important option for photographers. I rarely use my iPhone or iPad to take photos and I bet most photographers don't as well.

Photo manipulation

I only recently began taking my photography hobby seriously. I like using my phone to photograph almost as much as my main camera. My only beef with fusion is that I'd like to be able to do the same thing on my pc with my canon. Other than that you have a very powerful photographers tool in the palm of your hand:) thanks

Great app but limited by the jpg file format

This is a great HDR app with a very useful feature set. It is limited by the jpeg file format. What it really needs is access to the RAW file generated by the image sensor which Apple does not allow. 16 bit tiff would be a great improvement if possible. The built in camera app does HDR but you have no creative control.

Greatly extends the capabilities of the iPhone

The small camera sensor in the iPhone can only produce images with a limited dynamic range. Fusion's ability to align and merge three exposures, taken with a single release of the shutter button, allows it to create iPhone images of significantly expanded dynamic range. Problem solved. An interesting feature is the ability of the app to create asymmetrical brackets. The shadows might be 2.5 stops over and the highlights only a 1.5 stops under - all determined automatically by the app. One benefit is that blown out sky details with a nasty cyan tint are no longer a problem. Lastly, the app has very use full set of tools for adjusting all of the key parameters in the merged image. The app will be improved once the creators enable an end to end TIFF workflow. The present version can merge even 22 meg TIFFs from other sources, but can only output up to 10 meg JPEGs. All in all, Fusion HDR is very highly recommended.
