What's New in Halide Mark III

3.1.2

July 11, 2026

Welcome to Halide 3.1! This update includes a bunch of enhancements from our big 3.0 we launched six weeks ago. Let's dig in. SCARLET For more warmth, richness, and medium-high contrast try our new "Scarlet" look. It features high saturations, particularly around reds. Try it with summer sunsets! MORE FRAME CONTROLS In the "Frame" tab of the editor, you can now rotate and flip your photo, and even make perspective corrections-- perfect for architecture shots. COMPRESSION CONTROL We've added a capture setting to tweak the exact level of compression to apply. This is great for finding the right balance between texture and file size. EXPOSURE BIAS RESET We've added a button in our exposure menu to reset exposure bias to zero. There's also a long-press shortcut. When in manual mode, instead of resetting the bias, This feature re-meters exposure. ALWAYS-ON FOCUS TOOLS In 3.0, focus tools were only enabled when adjust focus. With 3.1, you can just leave them on all the time when in manual focus mode. RAW-ONLY LOOK You can now enable a "RAW-Only" mode within capture settings. This enables a specific look that does not save a JPEG. Because RAWs can render dramatically different in other apps, we recommend you only enable this feature if you know what you're getting into. EXPOSURE/FOCUS LOCK When in manual focus or manual exposure, tapping the viewfinder will not adjust either setting. There's other small polish improvements and bug fixes. If we missed something, let us know in our Discord or send us an email at support@lux.camera. We read every message! -- Team Halide

Should just say $70 = $cam

The app cost $70, which is about what I pay for the entire used iPad =)) Instead of trying to trick people with ads disguised as apps, they should just list the price near the title like any legitimate project that is not a scam.

LOVE

I never ever rate apps, but this one is so worth it. I found it on a whim and decided to try it, and immediately fell in love. Suddenly my photos look amazing. I’m taking them all the time and struggling to delete ones I don’t need because they all look so good. The photos come out looking so professional and beautiful and like they came from a film camera if you use the RAW setting (which is all I use). Seriously a wonderful app :)

Made me like my phone camera

I love how halide strips away all of the ai filtering that makes iPhone pictures seems so lifeless. RAW photos and good filter options to bring that beautiful lowlight noise back into frame!

Bring back some character to your photos

I really love the concept behind this app. I personally think modern phone cameras look flat and unappealing. Halide turns your phone camera into something you want to use for capturing life. Get rid of over-processed HDR and eye-melting saturation. Capture photos the way your eye sees them and embrace imperfection, because life is rarely perfect.

One small note: I would love to see the iPhone centre-stage selfie camera function as Apple intended. It's too wide and there isn't a way to adjust this other than cropping in post.
