True Color

True Color is a real photo editor, not another filter app. Under the hood it's the color math you know from desktop editors: layers, masks, Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, Channel Mixer and more, rebuilt for touch. QUICK WHEN YOU WANT IT • Adjust: exposure, contrast, color and tone, plus a one-tap auto that writes a real Levels layer you can open and inspect • Filters: one-tap looks with an intensity dial • Alchemy: blend styles on a free two-axis pad and save the mix as your own look • Crop, B&W, Portrait Blur, Colorize, Splash: the everyday tools, simple and fast DEEP WHEN YOU'RE READY • A full layer stack with 26 blend modes, opacity and groups • Masks: paint, subject, depth, gradient and luminosity, with the AI running on-device • Blend If: composite on tone, so an edit lands only where you meant it • Pipeline view: see exactly how any edit is built, layer by layer • Save any edit as a reusable Look, or import your own .cube and .3dl LUTs PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos never leave your iPhone. All editing and all AI runs on-device. No account, no upload. FREE AND PRO The editor is free: three layers on every photo, the everyday adjustments, the whole Filters rail and all 26 blend modes. True Color Pro takes the ceiling off, with unlimited layers, 17 more adjustment layers (Curves, Levels, Channel Mixer, Selective Color, Lab Color, Split Toning and more), all five kinds of mask, Blend If, Looks, LUT import, and saving from the one-tap tools.
