## What is Original Pictures?

Original Pictures captures images of a natural, detailed look without artificial sharpening or heavy processing.

The app uses RAW pipeline to output JPEG files directly, preserving the original texture and color from sensor. This avoids the common issues seen in normal camera apps, such as over-sharpening, aggressive noise reduction, or HDR fusion artifacts.

Comparing with similar apps, Original Pictures offers:
 1. Access to low-level RAW parameters, including exposure compensation, RAW boost, tint, white balance, and an optical stabilization toggle.
 2. No complex features or image filters running in the background. The app is optimized all for a lightweight, responsive, power-efficient everyday shooting experience.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.4 — 2026-06-16

- New feature: double tap when previewing last photo to copy it to clipboard
- Bug fix: selfie photo flipped up and down when taking selfie with device hold horizontally.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-05-18

Performance improvement on GPS location saving speed and app's energy efficiency.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-04-27

v1.2.2
  • Fixed a problem that Mirror Front Camera doesn't work on iOS 26
  • Adjust UI and interaction design.

v1.2.1
  • Now you can press shutter button immediately after the previous photo shoot, no need to wait for the previous RAW photo processing. 
  • Button for changing white balance directly from camera screen
  • Option to mirror photo shot by front camera.
  • Improve the tap to focus stability when shutter speed is locked


v1.2.0
I’ve been obsessing with polishing this app lately (maybe a bit too much). Here is a few new features inspired by everyday “ugh, I wish it could do this” moments:

  • Manually choose the shutter speed and let ISO change automatically (aka. Shutter Priority mode in digital cameras)
  • Long-press the spot in view finder to lock focus & expose ( just like half-pressing the shutter button on a digital camera. And yep, it can work with Shutter Priority mode!)
  • Selfie timer triggered by sliding up from shutter button (max 15 seconds)

And a few other improvements:
  • Zoom button now feels much snappier. You can tap them while the lens is still switching
  • GPS only kicks in when you actually take a photo, good for battery.
  • Finer control over Tint adjustment.

### 1.1.0 — 2025-11-28
