Film doesn’t write EXIF. Your lab scans come back anonymous. Digital cameras stamp every frame with camera, lens, shutter, aperture, and time. Film does none of that — so Lightroom and Photos have no idea what body, lens, or exposure made the shot Edgeprint is the missing link: meter and log while you shoot, then match lab scans to that log and export files labeled like digital. YOUR COMPANION FOR SHOOTING FILM • Meter light for the roll you’re shooting • Log frames in one tap — sticky ISO, shutter, aperture, and lens • Notes, gaps, and optional GPS — incomplete is fine BACK FROM THE LAB • Import lab JPEGs, HEIC, TIFF, or a ZIP • Pair scans to your log (one-drag alignment when the lab is off) • Export tagged JPEGs with real EXIF: camera, lens, exposure, time, GPS, film stock • Originals stay on your device — TIFF/HEIC archive is never overwritten ALSO IN THE APP • Keepers & learn notes • Share contact sheets • Stats across your bag • iCloud log backup (optional device backup) BUILT DIFFERENTLY • No subscription · No ads · Local-first • Works in airplane mode • On your device — no account, no upload iOS first. Edgeprint — EXIF for film.
