## What is Koloristika?

Koloristika builds the picture itself.

Open the stock camera and the phone hands you a finished photo. Face detection, scene recognition, exposure blending, a neural network deciding what your sky should look like. All of it decided before you ever see the shot.

Koloristika starts a step earlier, at the sensor, and assembles the image from raw data. Demosaic, tone, noise, color, the whole build. Two things do that work, and they hold each other up.

One is the color science. SUCOMO3 shaped the biggest films of the last decade. DSTOCK is what came next, and it lands here first. The cinema industry gets it after you. Film is chemistry. So is this. SILVERLITH carries density from rich dye layers to silver-retained bleach bypass. Saturation comes out the way film subtracts it, never the way a slider adds it. The result is a photograph, not a render.

The other is the RAW engine. Every shot keeps the full-sensor RAW, whole, the way the sensor saw it. Because the negative is always there, nothing you decide is ever spent. Reframe a shot to a longer lens or a cinema format a year later, and nothing is cut from the RAW. Let Auto Horizon straighten a tilt at capture, then put it back if you disagree. Change the look a hundred times. The edit sits on the negative and never touches it.

The two are not really separate. The color science is what makes the picture worth keeping. The RAW engine is what keeps it yours to change. Nothing else is built this way.

The shot is yours. So is everything you make from it.

THE PROOF

THE EDITOR. Six sliders, each modeled from real film. Density, exposure, upper density, temperature, tint, subtractive saturation. Horizontal for big moves, vertical for fine ones. Every edit non-destructive, every edit auto-saved.

REFRAME. A director's viewfinder for a shot you already own. Recompose after capture, with a longer simulated lens in real millimeters and cinema or photo formats. The RAW never gets cut.

AUTO HORIZON. Straightens a tilted horizon at capture, up to ten degrees. Change it or clear it in Reframe.

DOUBLET. A real double exposure as a new RAW. Two of your captures added at the sensor, photon for photon, before the picture is built. One editable negative, not a JPG overlay. The densities come out right because they were never faked. The first on iOS to do it in RAW.

DRX. Two extra stops of dynamic range. One shot, two renders, fused by luminance. Not HDR, not bracketing.

CLR. Color Locus Reset. Chroma noise that falls outside real color gets walked back to the edge of what light can actually be. The grain stays.

SCOUT MODE. Cinema and photography ratios. Focal-length equivalents across Super16, Super35, VistaVision, and 65mm. Simulated lenses beyond the physical one. FrameStamp burns format, focal length, ratio, coordinates, and date into one black bar. GPS stays on the device.

CHROMOGRAM. The seven dominant hues of a frame, read live and sized by area. Burn it into the export with the color data.

FORMULATIONS. F1, F2, F3. Your look, applied at capture. Change it later. The edit is always there.

TONE SEED. Every edit in eight characters. Share the code, share the look.

GALLERY. Chronological, with badges on every thumbnail. Calendar view. Map view.

EXPORT. JPG or TIFF. Full or half resolution. 8-bit or 16-bit.

QUICK ACCESS. Lock Screen widget, Control Center, Camera Control on iPhone 16 and later.

Thirty-six shots free, no clock. Then a subscription, monthly or yearly.

Your photos stay on your device. No accounts with us, no tracking, no ads. iCloud sync, if you want it, is your own. The negative is yours. So is everything you make from it.

## Frequently asked questions about Koloristika

### What is Koloristika's approach to photography?

Koloristika bypasses computational photography and AI, using only raw sensor data interpreted through color science built for feature films. This aims to produce authentic photographs rather than composites or renders.

### Does Koloristika have ads?

No, Koloristika does not contain advertisements, providing an uninterrupted user experience.

### How does Koloristika's editing work?

The RAW editor features six sliders (Density, Exposure, Upper Density, Temperature, Tint, Subtractive Saturation) modeled from real film and photochemistry. Edits are non-destructive and auto-save, with full undo/redo functionality.

### What is DRX Dynamic Range Extension in Koloristika?

DRX extends dynamic range by two stops, fusing two renders from a single shot to improve detail in dark areas and retain clarity in brights without appearing artificial.

### Can I share my Koloristika edits with others?

Yes, Koloristika's Tone Seed feature compresses every edit into an eight-character code, allowing you to share your specific look across different devices and locations.

### What is Scout Mode for?

Scout Mode helps filmmakers frame locations by showing focal length equivalents across various film formats (Super16, Super35, VistaVision, etc.) and aspect ratios, ensuring production shots match the intended look.

### What are the subscription options for Koloristika?

Koloristika offers a monthly subscription for $2.99 and a yearly subscription for $19.99, providing access to its full suite of features.

### Is Koloristika available on Android?

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.9 — 2026-07-01

REFRAME
Recompose a shot after you take it. Reframe keeps the full-sensor RAW and lets you choose the frame later: a different aspect ratio, a longer simulated lens in real millimeters, cinema or photo formats. Nothing is cropped from the RAW. Change the frame, or clear it, anytime. A director's viewfinder for a shot you already have.

AUTO HORIZON
Switch it on, and Koloristika straightens a tilted horizon for you at the moment of capture, up to 10 degrees. It is non-destructive: the full RAW is kept whole, so you can adjust the leveling or take it back in Reframe. Most cameras only show a level and leave the straightening to you. We can do it for you, because nothing is ever lost.

This update also adds a faster way into Doublet (select a same-lens pair and tap DOUBLE), sturdier iCloud sync, and the usual polish.

### 1.2.8 — 2026-06-17

DOUBLET™
A real double exposure, as a new RAW. Pick two captures from the same lens. Koloristika combines them at the sensor, in linear light, before the picture is built. Light adds, photon for photon, like film. Not a JPG overlay. One genuine negative, still a RAW, fully re-editable. A permanent = mark rides with each and travels across your devices. Search "doublet" to find them.

ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
Favorites, looks, edit marks, and Doublet badges now keep in step across your devices. A "SYNCING GALLERY" note shows while a new device is still catching up.

This update also brings a faster, steadier gallery on large libraries, and the usual polish.

### 1.2.7 — 2026-05-27

CHROMOGRAM™
A bar of color below the shutter. Seven hues drawn from the live scene itself. Watch it shift while you compose. Bake it into the export when you want the palette to travel with the picture. A new Koloristika Chromograms™ album holds the prints.

UPPER DENSITY, NEGATIVE
The slider gains a negative half. Pull negative and it goes subtractive. Color drains from highlights. Whites move toward paper white.

SEPARATE AF/AE LOCKS
First long-press locks focus, shown as a circle. Second locks exposure, shown as a square. Enable in Preferences.

RECENT EDITS
Tap the edited filter until it turns yellow. Or swipe sideways in the gallery. Photos by edit recency, freshest first.

X OVERLAY
A new framing overlay. Two diagonals corner to corner. Retracks with the active aspect ratio and crop. Stacks with every other overlay.

DENSITY → SILVERLITH™
The density slider's name now reflects the color science engine behind it. Same control. Same range. Older saves and Tone Seeds carry through.

PREFERENCES
A new section in Settings. Small switches for small quality of life choices. Persist the last lens. Vertical drag adjusts exposure in editor. Stack the FrameStamp and Chromogram™ strips. And way more.

This update also includes a stack of polish and faster everything.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-05-19

STEALTH EXPORT
A photograph is also a paper trail. Camera. Time. Place. Software. The metadata behind every file.

Sometimes that's the danger.

For photojournalists in war zones. For documentary work where you cannot control where the file will go. For location scouts under NDA, when pre-production must remain confidential.

STEALTH strips all of it. Pixels and nothing else. Random filename. A dedicated album.

The image survives. The trail does not.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-05-11

COLOR LOCUS RESET
For forty years, noise reduction meant blur. Each generation got better at choosing what to blur. None figured out how not to.

This is the first that doesn't.

CLR uses the physics of visible light as the discriminator. The colors of the real world live in a specific region. The pink and purple speckle that defines small CMOS in low light does not. CLR finds the second. Touches nothing else.

Grain intact. Texture intact. Color where it was.

Subtle. Organic. Measured.
