### 5/5 — I love this

*2026-08-15*

I genuinely love this app. The film emulation, grain, curves, and recipe system are excellent, and it has the potential to become one of my favorite photography apps.

However, there is one issue currently stopping me from purchasing the Pro version:

The exported photo does not accurately match what I see in the in-app preview.

I can reproduce this consistently, and it is especially noticeable with high-contrast black-and-white recipes.

For example, in the live/in-app preview, the blacks are deep, the shadows are dense, and the overall contrast looks exactly how I intended. But after the photo is exported to Apple Photos, the shadows become noticeably lifted, the blacks turn more gray, and the overall image looks flatter.

To get the intended result back, I have to edit the exported image again in Apple Photos, mainly by adjusting Shadows and Brilliance, just to make it look closer to what the app originally showed me.

I have compared the in-app preview and the actual exported image side by side, and the difference is clearly visible.

I hope the developers can investigate whether the preview and export pipelines are using exactly the same tone mapping, gamma/color management, curves, and effect rendering.

For a photography app centered around film emulation and custom recipes, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) is extremely important. I make exposure, contrast, black level, and tonal decisions based on what I see in the preview, so I need to be able to trust that the exported image will closely match it.

If this preview/export inconsistency can be fixed, I will purchase the Pro version immediately. I really like the app and would be very happy to support its development. I hope this can be addressed in a future update.

### 5/5 — Best film emulation camera on the app store

*2026-06-13*

This is the best film emulation camera on the entire App Store. It's fairly easy to set up and super customizable. You can build amazing presets, and once you've got them built, you can just take pictures with it. It's incredible—by far the best. The grain looks good, the lation, the bloom. You dial this sucker in. If you've got some good LUTs, you can use those as bases. I mean, this is incredible

**Developer response:** Love to hearing this. The Grain, Halation and Bloom are the one we put a lot into. If you build a recipe you love, share it with us via the Recipe Hub, so everyone can shoot it too.

Thanks you so much for using Radiant Camera.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4.1 — 2026-08-13

Smoother Scrolling, Steadier Previews

Radiant 2.4.1 is a bug-fix release. Nothing in your workflow moves — the app just stops getting in your way.

- Smooth Gallery Scrolling: fast-scrolling a large R-Negative library no longer hangs the grid.
- A Steadier Camera Screen: the live viewfinder no longer starves scrolling while you browse on the camera screen.
- Carousel Swipes, Fixed: swiping between looks no longer stalls halfway through the transition.
- Truer HDR Preview: gain-map lift is now capped at your display's current EDR headroom, so HDR previews stop pushing past what the screen can actually show.

### 2.4 — 2026-07-28

4K Video, a Real Tone Curve, and Recipes That Keep Themselves Fresh

Radiant 2.4 brings bigger video, precise color control, and a Recipe Hub that keeps your looks up to date.

- 4K Video & 60fps: shoot in 4K, or step down to 1080p for smooth 60fps. One format picker, and it only offers what your iPhone can actually hold.
- A Real Tone Curve: master and per-channel R/G/B curves with free end points, dimmed ghost curves behind the one you're editing, and a graph you can hide. Now in the Photos edit extension too.
- Recipes That Stay Fresh: installed Hub recipes tell you when the creator has updated them, and one tap pulls the new version in place with your own name and notes intact.
- Share a Recipe as a Card: send the whole look as a single image with the QR code, recipe details, and a download link in one frame.
- Photo Edit, Fixed: no more blown out, squeezed first frame when the extension opens, and Glow in Soft mode now survives a save and reopen.
