This beautifully crafted little app reduces sharpening—and it has so many other features too!!! Hope you’ll like it. • Unsharp After downloading, photos are unsharpened by default, and Live Photos don’t change color when they settle into a still frame. • Zero Processing Switch to Zero Processing mode and the result feels like it wasn’t shot on a phone—more like an old camera. This isn’t a simulation: it truly turns off all processing and saves the most original photo possible. • New Filters These filters emulate CCD and film looks. There’s also a brand-new filter, Little Touch—blending countless tiny color tweaks to make everything feel a bit happier, while staying extremely natural. It doesn’t look “filtered” at all. • New Video You can now choose many more video settings, including five color modes and more resolutions (on newer phones). For example, shooting in 4:3 is great for selfie vlogs because the view is wider. There’s also brand-new Unsharp video. • More Pro Manual controls, Bayer RAW, custom filters, and more! • And lots more Soft light, custom buttons, and so much more!
