Outdoor Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
Get more likes for your outdoor shots! A special filter gives your photos deeper colors and more definition, simply and immediately. City skies become a deep, radiant blue, and ordinary grass and and trees are transformed into verdant idylls. Your social media friends will wish they were out with you. Why does this app exist? I started retouching all my landscape photos with photo editors, but got tired of going through the same laborious process every time. So now I have an app that does those steps automatically, and I decided to share it with you, too! Note that the app is tuned to produce great outdoor photos only - it's not recommended for indoor use. • Real-time viewfinder means instantly seeing the final result, without breaking your flow. No extra steps, retakes, or messing about in editors. • Only one click will save the photo to your camera roll - it works exactly like the in-built camera app! • Saves image at full camera resolution and quality. • Simple slider to increase the effect. • No glitter and unicorn stickers: just a stylish, minimal app that takes great photos, quickly. • Unlock an extra contrast slider for extra control. Supported by ads, so I can keep making free apps, but you can also buy extra image tuning functionality, which will remove the ads.

Most modern smartphone cameras automatically process every picture you take. They apply aggressive smoothing, artificial HDR, and automatic sharpening. Sometimes, you just want the actual, unedited digital negative so you can develop it yourself. Truly Simple RAW Camera bypasses automatic processing to give you the exact, unedited light that hit your iPhone’s physical sensor. NOTE: This app only works on devices with hardware capable of capturing Bayer RAW images, which means most iPhones and iPad Pros but not other sorts of iPad, sorry! It does not work with front-facing cameras, either, for the same reason (they lack that capability). Features: • Pure RAW capture: Saves uncompressed 14-bit Bayer .DNG files directly to your camera roll with zero AI processing. • Tap to focus: Tap anywhere on the viewfinder to physically adjust the lens focal plane and lock in your exposure, just like a real DSLR. • Hardware controls: Switch between the physical back-facing lenses and toggle the hardware flash. No digital zoom allowed. • Tactile feedback: An optional haptic shutter toggle lets you physically feel exactly when a photo is captured. • Visual basics: Toggle a rule-of-thirds grid to frame your shot, and switch between light and dark color themes for comfort. • Quick review: Tap the recent photo thumbnail to instantly jump to your native iOS Photos gallery. • Free: Enjoy a completely free app with no recurring fees, intrusive advertisements, or paywalls.
