DiveTone

Read full description

Bring underwater color back to life. Blue and green casts, missing reds, strobe-lit specks across the frame—DiveTone is a photo and video color-grading tool for divers and underwater photographers. Instead of placing one filter over the entire image, it adjusts each region based on underwater light, water color and subject position, bringing back your subject's color and dimension while preserving the depth and atmosphere of the water. 【Start in one tap, then fine-tune】 ・Vivid, Natural and Classic one-tap looks; DiveTone picks a starting look automatically when you add photos ・Adjust temperature, tint, saturation, exposure, dehaze, contrast and detail on photos ・Grade background water independently without recoloring the entire sea for the subject ・Drag the split line to compare before and after, and pinch to check fine detail ・Save custom looks and quickly apply them to the next photo 【Reduce backscatter, bubbles and noise】 ・Automatically reduces backscatter—the white specks created when strobes light up suspended particles ・Automatically detects and removes bubbles from the image ・Noise reduction adapts to the actual noise level of each photo ・Adjust the strength of both and balance a clean image against fine detail your way 【Treat subjects and backgrounds separately】 DiveTone recognizes key objects on-device and lets you see and edit the actual area. ・Up to three subjects, each with its own exposure, temperature, tint, saturation, contrast and detail ・Add or erase areas with a brush, using Assisted Outline to follow edges ・Create an adjustable black background from the subject mask to make fish and divers stand out 【Video: segment grading and HDR export】 ・Use different settings for changing depths, lighting or scenes within one video ・Export the complete video, merge segments or export segments separately ・HEVC output preserves source resolution, frame rate and audio ・Export HLG HDR videos in HDR to keep higher brightness and dynamic range (on supported devices) ・Capture a frame at a precise time and continue editing it as a photo 【Organize an entire dive trip】 ・Photos and videos together in one project library ・Group by location, date or format, and sort by capture date, date added, location or last edited ・View GPS-tagged dive media on a map ・Batch-export multiple photos, each keeping its own grade, crop and black background ・Review photo information and adjust capture time and location 【Export and share】 ・Save photos as JPEG, HEIF, TIFF or PNG to Photos, share them or save them to Files ・Create custom text or image watermarks, with a separate one for black-background photos ・Keep all capture information, or remove GPS or all metadata 【Keep originals safe and your work private】 ・Color grading, subject recognition and mask processing run on your iPhone or iPad ・Media downloaded to the device can be edited offline—on the boat or at remote dive sites ・Apple Photos integration does not create another copy of the original in the DiveTone project library ・Non-destructive workflow; deleting a DiveTone project does not delete the original media from Photos ・When a RAW pair is available, DiveTone reads the original RAW first 【Try every editing tool for free】 ・The free version includes all editing and preview features with no official DiveTone watermark. ・Export 15 distinct photos and 2 distinct videos per day; repeat exports of the same project on the same day do not count again. ・Upgrade to DiveTone Pro to remove the daily limit. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. ・Ideal for scuba diving, freediving, snorkeling, underwater photography, and organizing underwater photos and videos directly on iPhone or iPad while traveling.
