Ready to streamline your photography workflow and impress clients with instant, high-quality image preview sharing? Dream of providing immediate previews without crowding around a single device? Photon Studio was made for you! Photon Studio grabs the latest photo taken with Photon Camera on your iPhone, and allows you to easily display it on your iPad, Apple Silicon Mac, or another iPhone connected to an external monitor. Within Photon Studio, you can favorite or delete the image from these connected devices in real time, as well as view the photo's metadata and histogram. You can even zoom all the way in to "pixel peep" and get very finely detailed views of parts of your image. This makes it a snap to find the great photos and cull any image that didn't make the cut. And the fuss is kept to a minimum! Photon Studio intelligently selects the best way to connect to your iPhone be it via a local wifi network, ad hoc wifi, or bluetooth. So even if your network coverage is spotty, your photos will be delivered promptly to your screen. And not necessarily just one screen at that! Photon Camera can connect to multiple devices running Photon Studio, so you don't have to choose just one place to send your work. Conversely, Photon Studio can quickly swap between camera connections and get the latest from each on the fly, so that every angle is covered. Photon Studio is the newest link in our chain of professionally focused photography tools. Use it with Photon Camera for a smooth, beautiful and streamlined photography experience. Then take your photos to the next level with Photon Enhance, our comprehensive photo editor. Our entire suite of photography tools follows our core philosophy of bringing you professional grade tools with easy to understand, gorgeous interfaces. We've taken our decades of experience with iOS photography tools and distilled down the absolute best possible experience, while retaining full control over every aspect of your images.

Save your character a seat at the cafรฉ. Bring them along on your next walk. With LIECA, the places you photograph have room for a little imagination. Start with the scene in front of you Hold the shutter in TALK mode and say what you would like to change. Release to generate a new AI image. If you prefer to write, save your directions in a personal preset, select it and take a photo. Add reference images when they help tell the story. Your character, ready for the next scene Add your character to the built-in reference library, give the image a name and choose it before shooting. Use up to 4 reference images alongside the captured scene, or link them to a personal preset for next time. The library is not just for characters: it can also hold objects and other references you own or have permission to use. What else would you like to see? Explore film-inspired color or a different mood of light. Imagine a small, friendly ghost around the corner. Try a product setting, an outfit idea or a new arrangement for a room. These are creative interpretations, not guarantees of exact likeness, dimensions, fit or product accuracy. A place to begin Open the camera as a guest and try Little J, the original sample character also known as Jiaoduan. Three ready-to-use presets offer a character scene, a film-inspired landscape and an imagined future. Use them as a starting point, then bring your own ideas. Keep both views in sight Compare the AI result with the original shot, revisit your creation history, and save or share images marked as AI-generated. For the scene just as it is, switch to PHOTO mode: ordinary photography without using AI credits. Credits when you need them AI generation uses credits. Packs of 36, 108 or 360 credits are available as one-time in-app purchases, with no subscription. A registered LIECA account and sign-in are required to purchase. Check the app for credit usage, your balance, guest trial availability and local prices. Create with care Use your own characters and materials, or ones you have permission to use. AI can change details and scenery; generated images are not records of real events. Cloud generation needs internet; TALK needs microphone access. With your consent, scene photos, selected or matched reference images, prompts and optional voice recordings are sent through our server to APIMart and its model-processing providers. Data may be processed outside your country. Manage AI consent and account/data deletion in Settings.
