Read full description

Replace your phone camera’s default processing with bespoke, curated color and texture rendering designed by cinematographer Steve Yedlin and used on the Knives Out films. Chromagraph starts from raw image data and builds the image its own way: not a filter laid over the usual look processing, but a different process from the start. (Chromagraph is a stills-only camera; it does not shoot video.) SHOOT FIRST, SEE THE LOOK AFTER As with a film camera, you frame through the viewfinder and see the finished look only after the image is processed. Take the picture, then open the gallery to see it with the Chromagraph look applied. ADJUST WITHOUT LOSING THE LOOK Intuitive yet powerful tools for color, tone, and texture give you real control while keeping every image true to the look that’s the core of the app. A GALLERY THAT KEEPS THE ORIGINALS Store full-quality raw files and view them in the app with the look applied live, along with any adjustments you make. Export smaller files to share with friends or save to your photo library, or turn on auto-export in Preferences to send every photo to your library right away as a JPEG or HEIC with the look applied. NOT A FILTER A filter sits on top of the processing your phone has already done. Chromagraph skips that processing and uses its own methods for the curated look preferred by director Rian Johnson and cinematographer Steve Yedlin.
