What's New in Lighting Recipe
1.5.20
September 17, 2026
• The "Shot data" band at the top of a shared recipe's 3D view now shows camera, lens, F, SS, ISO, focal length and date (only the location was shown before) • Removed the URL text under the QR code on exported images, leaving the QR code only. Text recognition in photo apps sometimes misread the small URL and failed to open it. In the Photos app, tap the QR code itself to open the recipe • "Add the 2D diagram" is now off by default on the export screen. Turn it on only when you need it
