## What is PhotoLens?

Built for photographers who want real control, not another filter app.

PhotoLens is a fully offline photo editor with pro-grade tools for RAW capture, tonal editing, astrophotography stacking, and technical image analysis. No cloud uploads. No account. No subscription.

ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY AND STACKING

Star trail composites let you stack up to 20 images into a single long-exposure trail. Image stacking for noise reduction combines up to 10 exposures. Batch processing applies identical adjustments to up to 20 photos at once.

PRO EDITING

Curves editor with draggable control points. Split toning for independent color grading of shadows and highlights. Color splash to isolate one color and desaturate the rest. Gamma correction, color temperature, hue shift, and light pollution removal. Custom watermark with text, size, opacity, and position control. Save, load, import, and export presets as JSON.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Live RGB histogram, false color exposure map, edge detection with adjustable threshold, focus peaking, FFT frequency analysis, and anomaly detection.

CAMERA

RAW capture mode delivers unprocessed sensor output with no noise reduction or edge enhancement. Tap-to-focus with focus ring indicator. Rule-of-thirds grid and level indicator. Exposure compensation slider. Self-timer at 3 or 10 seconds. Front and rear camera with flash toggle.

STANDARD EDITING

Brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, individual RGB channels, color tint, vignette, film grain, posterize, dehaze, mirror and flip, and crop with free, 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 ratios.

EXPORT

Low, medium, high, or maximum quality. Four built-in presets: Sky Enhance, Warm Sunset, Cool Night, and High Contrast. Before and after comparison slider.

100% OFFLINE

All processing happens on your device. Photos never leave your phone. No uploads. No tracking. No account.

One-time Pro upgrade unlocks everything. No subscriptions, ever.
