NOMO RAW, a professional mobile camera app from NOMO family, presents to you the capacity of ProRAW photography, 16-Bit image processing pipeline, and color calibration profiles of pro cameras. * If you have subscribed to NOMO PRO, you can access to all the features in NOMO RAW -- YES, TOTALLY FREE. Special thanks to all the supports from our NOMO PRO members. * If you are a new NOMO user, you have monthly and annual pass to choose. Your call to make. Here are some of the powerful features of NOMO RAW. * 16-Bit Image Processing Pipeline: On iOS we can only store 8-Bit colors into HEIF and JPEG files, however, before the final saving, NOMO RAW used end-to-end 16-Bit pipeline to maintain the color depth from ProRAW and improve the final result. * Image Refinement: With ProRAW as the starting point, NOMO RAW could further remove the artifacts on your mobile photos, including over sharpening, luminance noise, detail loss, etc. * Color Solutions: By calibrating the 12-Bit ProRAW images to some professional cameras, you can pick up your favorite visual style before you take the photo. The preview is real-time and the processing is lightning fast. Try them. * HDR Photo: The highlight of HDR Photos will be much brighter on Super Retina display, Super Retina XDR display and Liquid Retina XDR display, which means, on Apple devices with HDR playback capabilities, you will see incredible contrasts. * RAW + HEIF/JPEG: To make document management much easier, you can choose to save RAW and HEIF/JPEG images to the one file or two separated files, meanwhile, you can turn off the saving of RAW and compressed images seperately. * Compression Ratio: Low, Medium, or High. Now you can save larger compressed files compared to the iOS camera. Or smaller files to save your storage space. * Auto Assistants: NOMO RAW has all the visual assitants to help you taking better pictures -- Histogram, Horizon Indicators, Focus Peaking & Zoom, Zebra Stripes, Thirds, etc. * Intuitive Interface: The powerful image capacity is working beneath a familiar and intuitive user interface. You don't need to learn about it. Everything's natural.
