RecipeLab
Read full descriptionHide full description
Fujifilm recipes, rangefinder soul. RecipeLab is a reference and companion for Fujifilm camera settings shaped by analogue photography. It draws on the tonal character of classic rangefinder bodies and the texture of well-known film stocks to give you a starting point for dialling in your camera's image-quality settings, without the guesswork. 47 ENGINEERED RECIPES • Film Stock Emulations: Match the distinct colour response and contrast of emulsions like Kodak Portra, Tri-X, Fujifilm Velvia, Ilford HP5, and more. • Rangefinder Era Looks: Recipes built around the rendering style of classic street and documentary photography. • Detailed Annotations: Tap any setting badge to read why that specific parameter (dynamic range, tone curve, color, grain, sharpness, noise reduction) was chosen. CROSS-REFERENCED AGAINST YOUR CAMERA Fujifilm cameras evolve across sensor generations (X-Trans I through V and Bayer). RecipeLab checks every recipe against your camera’s exact hardware capabilities: • Smart Sort: Compatible recipes appear first, partial matches are grouped in an Extended Library, and unsupported settings are automatically hidden. • Fallback Hints: Context-aware recommendations guide you when a setting needs adapting for older or newer sensors. DESIGNED FOR THE FIELD & STUDIO • Field Reference Mode: A high-contrast, full-screen readout for dialling in recipe settings at your camera while out shooting. • On-Device Photo Previews: Apply a recipe's tone curve, color rendition, and film grain directly to your own reference photos, rendered entirely on-device. • Deep Comparisons: Inspect looks with an interactive before/after slider, a 6-tile Preview Strip, and a 4-slot Compare view with live luminance histograms. • Export & Share: Save recipe cards as images, copy settings to clipboard, print A6 field cards, or share links. MAKE IT YOURS & VIBE BUILDER • Custom Variations: Tweak existing recipes and save your own variations with camera-aware validation. • Custom Slot Manager: Track your camera's custom presets (C1–C7) with dedicated history. • Vibe Builder: Describe a mood, lighting condition, or aesthetic in natural language and generate custom recipes entirely on-device using Apple Intelligence. Burst-generate 3 recipes at once to compare. CAMERA & SYSTEM INTEGRATION • Built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with native multi-column layouts and sidebars. • Widgets: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for Recipe of the Day and your Last Used recipe. • System Search & Shortcuts: Search recipes directly from Spotlight and automate workflows with Siri Shortcuts. PRIVACY BY DESIGN: NO ACCOUNTS, NO TRACKING • No account creation, no sign-in, and no external servers. • Zero analytics, zero telemetry, and no advertising or tracking SDKs. • Your reference photos, notes, and variations never leave your device. • Optional iCloud Sync: Sync your variations and slot assignments across your Apple devices using your personal, private iCloud database (turned off by default).
