## What is Lumière Instant?

Lumière is a canvas you arrange your photos on.

Bring photos in from your library, or take one with the instant camera — the print slides out of the camera just like real instant film and develops in front of you. When it's done it lands on the canvas, where you can drag it into place, press and hold to pin it, double-tap for a closer look, or turn it over and type a note about that day, displayed in a handwriting font.

Photos don't have to sit in a tidy list. Arrange them the way the days actually felt. When you want to take a moment out of the app, make it a postcard, a calendar or a framed picture — or keep a corner of the canvas on your home screen.

· A canvas of your own
Pan and zoom the canvas, drag the prints anywhere, press and hold to pin, double-tap to look closer. Spread a whole trip across it, or let everyday fragments gather slowly. Tidy it in one tap when it gets messy; drag a print to the bottom and let go, and it scatters into warm dust — undoable at any time.

· Take one, and let it develop
Press the shutter and the print slides out, developing in front of you. Tap the emerging print to place it on the canvas sooner. Sixteen film looks and eight paper styles give each moment its own texture. The paper you choose also sets the colour of the letter page on the back.

· Turn it over, write that day down
Put how it felt on the back of the photo. Three handwriting faces and six ink colours — dark brown, slate blue, pine green, crimson, wisteria, gilt — so the words become part of the photo too.

· One photo, seven ways to mount it
Classic, Letter, Verse, Daily, Framed, Calendar and Postcard. The new Postcard style holds both sides of a postcard in one image: the photo itself on the front; on the back a stamp, a postmark, your note on ruled lines and a signature. Paper and ink colours are drawn from the photo, and even the stamp is a thumbnail of this very photo. Save the finished image to your library, or share it as it is.

· Every month has a canvas of its own
Photos file themselves by month. Go back to last month and the prints, and everything you wrote, are still where you left them.

· Home screen widget
Drag and pinch the canvas until the corner you want sits inside the frame, then keep it on your home screen.

· Date stamp
Tap the corner of the viewfinder and the date is burned into the bottom of the print in small quartz-orange type. Free, always.

Available in 简体中文, English, 日本語 and 한국어, switchable inside the app at any time.

Every photo and every word stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded. No ads, no account.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.1 — 2026-10-08

This update refines the photo stage and canvas interactions.

• The background gradually blurs as a photo enters the stage and returns to focus as it closes.
• Smoother canvas gliding and photo switching, with no unintended fling after pausing.
• Pan the canvas while a photo returns, and keep photos visible when resetting the view.
• The minimap updates after resizing and hides when the last photo is removed.
• Refined camera transitions, fonts and icons. Guide tips now make room for brief messages.
· Choose Monthly or Poster in Calendar, with poster colors that adapt to your photo.
· Swipe back from the mounting screen with a smoother transition that follows your finger.
· Fixed truncated mounting tab names on some screen sizes.

### 2.3.0 — 2026-10-07

A new Mount style — Postcard:

· One image holds both sides of a postcard. The front is the photo itself. The back carries a stamp, a postmark, your note on ruled lines and a signature — the stamp is a thumbnail of this very photo, and the date and place fill themselves in.
· Paper and ink colours are drawn from the photo. For a photo shot in portrait, the front pairs it with a palette taken from that same photo.

Two new handwriting faces for notes — Ma Shan Zheng and Zhi Mang Xing — alongside the original Long Cang. Switch between them any time you write.

Making a home screen widget now holds the viewfinder still: drag the canvas underneath, or pinch to zoom it, until the corner you want sits inside the frame.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-09-08

Two new Mount styles:

· Framed — put a photo in a wooden frame with a mat, a wall and its light. Nine wall colors and eight frames to choose from. The frame follows the photo's shape, wide or tall, and the caption fills in where the photo was taken.
· Calendar — turn one photo into this month's calendar, with colors drawn from the photo itself.

Swiping between photos on the stage has been rebuilt: the card tracks your finger more closely, leaves the screen at the speed you flick it, and quick successive swipes no longer skip a photo. It also pivots around wherever you grab it.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-09-04

Four fixes in this release:

· The front camera viewfinder is no longer rotated on iPhone 17 models.
· Film swatches in “Choose from Library” scroll sideways again, so the ones further along are reachable.
· A photo you drag now stays on top of the canvas after you lift your finger.
· The minimap in the corner updates as soon as a photo moves.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-09-03

No release notes.
