What's New in Project Indigo

1.1.3

September 18, 2026

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max readiness: this release includes first steps to prepare Indigo for newly announced iPhone devices. AI Playground - Identity preservation in Distractor Removal: if faces are detected in the scene, Indigo will try to preserve them in the resulting image. Works best if applied on the original Indigo-captured image. NOTE: This feature processes data on the device only. No data is stored, sent, or retained by Adobe or third parties. - 2 new one-tap features: Remove shadows and Add fill light. - Moved all relighting features into the Scene Editing section. New features - QR code scanning is now available in the viewfinder. - Added crosshairs to help users when trying to frame captures by pointing straight up or down. Other improvements: - Fixed a regression in the Indigo look for backlit portraits that rendered subjects too dark. - What’s New text now does not block you from quickly capturing after an app update. Simply tap the gift icon on the viewfinder and see what is new in this release. - Improved new feature discoverability with a blue-dot UI which disappears the first time a new feature is used. But fixes: - Fixed an occasional crash when switching lenses, especially between front and back camera.

Awesome

I love the photos this app puts out, they often look a lot better than the built in camera app. Still quite unstable though, often takes multiple crashes/restarts for the app to start working correctly. Once the bugs are ironed out it’ll be 5*

App crashing constantly after update

The new update after iOS27 makes the app crash every other time I open it. I'm on an iPhone 15 Pro. I love the app otherwise. Hopefully this can be fixed on the next update

Many fancy features unusable

Tried some features several times, incredibly power-consuming (my iPhone lost 3% of power just to use one feature), incredibly slow (took five minutes), and ultimately tells you “connection issues, please retry.” And I tried three times, it always ended in this way.

Almost perfect…

Where’s the flash toggle, it’s wild it’s missing!

Crashes often iOS 27.0

Great app amazing pictures really nice new ai playground but since iOS 27 it keeps crashing and throwing errors when switching cameras, not always like 30-40% of the time though. A restart fixes it
