Fix the blue in your dive photos and videos, and keep the people in them looking natural. Underwater, red light fades first, so photos come out blue or green. Seamera corrects the color of the water and the scene, and when someone is in the shot, it applies a gentler version of the same correction to them so skin doesn't turn orange or gray. What you see in the editor is what gets saved. One purchase includes everything. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no watermark. NEW IN 1.5 • Natural skin — when a person is detected in a photo, Seamera corrects the water as usual and the person more gently. A "Natural skin" slider sets how gentle, and you can turn it off. Works when editing a photo, in multi-photo correction, and on new shots from the in-app camera. • Best shot — import up to 50 photos into multi-photo correction. Similar shots are grouped and one is marked as a pick in each group, based on sharpness, exposure and the subject. "Select picks" only changes what gets saved; nothing is hidden or deleted. • Search your photos — photos you save in Seamera are tagged on your device, so you can search "turtle", "shark" or "stingray". Tags cover about 20 common sea creatures and subjects that Apple's built-in image recognition knows. It does not identify species. • Type what you want — in the photo editor, type "less green in the water", "warmer" or "leave faces as they are". Seamera shows what it changed and lets you undo. Built-in phrases work on any supported iPhone; other free-form sentences need iOS 26 on a device with Apple Intelligence turned on. You can also use the keyboard's dictation. • Suggested parts — open a video of 30 seconds or longer and Seamera suggests up to three sharp, steady parts. Tap one to select it, or pick your own. • Steadier video color — with "Adapt to depth", color changes quickly where the scene cuts and gently everywhere else, so it pulses less as you change depth. • Your usual look — after you've saved a few edits, Seamera starts at the strength and tone you usually choose for that kind of scene. It always shows "Your usual look" with an Undo, and you can clear the history in Settings. EVERYTHING YOU NEED AFTER A DIVE • Photo correction with before/after comparison and fine-tuning. • Video correction: choose the part you want, preview, and export. • Multi-photo correction for up to 50 photos at once. • In-app camera that saves corrected shots. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All analysis happens on your device, and your photos are never sent anywhere. Grouping, tags, people detection and your taste history stay on this iPhone. No account needed. To improve the app, Seamera sends usage records under a random ID, never photos, and you can turn them off in Settings. Results depend on the original photo, lighting and water conditions. Color correction can't recover detail or color the camera didn't capture. Seamera does not make your device waterproof; use suitable protective housing when shooting underwater.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Camera Zoom 4 at Free against Seamera's $3.99. Seamera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
