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

Best App

Most creative and inspiring app I’ve ever used!

I feel robbed

I was expecting this to have a depth function like most cameras do and it doesn’t so now I pay $19 and something for one year and it’s not gonna be that functional for me.
I would feel much better if you were to return my money since I just bought this thing today

Unusable on iPhone 17 Pro Max

Hate to give one star to this app. It has a potential, but unfortunately my palm is touching that side button and adjusting the exposure compensation randomly. I couldn't find how to disable that button. Update: the app doesn't start without Internet connection, just black screen!

Sad.

I spent time trying to work with the app for product photography and just couldn't find happiness. Pieces of version 2 and 3 work well and there are unique features, but if you have any mind for engineering, Halide will grind your gears.

The ux is unintuitive, no jpeg support on V2, no auto focus macro on V3. Yes it will work and it will also probably slow your production down.

I kindly messaged customer service 3 different times with no response. They just don't care about customers? I think the only poor app review I've ever written, but well deserved. Good luck guys.
