What's New in Pocket Log Camera
1.2
July 17, 2026
Pocket Log 1.2 rebuilds the app around one idea: the natural photo. • New PocketLog Natural rendering — no baked-in sharpening, HDR, or noise reduction, with skin-friendly color • RAW development is sharper and cleaner: a new demosaic resolves fine detail and removes colored speckles on highlights • Photos save as 10-bit HEIC by default (a JPEG compatibility toggle is available) • New Originals browser: review, share, and clean up negatives with sweep multi-select • A first-run guide explains the photo + negative workflow • Captures now survive locking or backgrounding the phone right after the shutter • Faster, flicker-free startup
