ElectroSpotmatic vs PresetCollection

ElectroSpotmatic turns your iPhone and iPad into a manual camera with a computational darkroom attached. Real rotary controls for ISO, focus, and exposure sit under your thumb; desktop-class stacking algorithms run on the photos you take with them. Nothing leaves your device. MANUAL CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR HAND ISO, focus, and exposure live on rotary dials placed where your fingers already are — precise, one-handed, with haptic feedback and live readout. Mirror the whole interface for left- or right-handed shooting in a single tap. On iPad, the whole interface rotates with the device and fits any window. It’s manual photography reimagined for a touchscreen, not a mode screen bolted onto an auto camera. COMPUTATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY, ON DEVICE Capture a sequence and let the phone do the work: Focus Stacking — Merge frames shot at different focus distances into one edge-to-edge sharp photo, with automatic focus-breathing compensation. Built for macro, product, and close-up work. Natural & Vibrant HDR — Two takes on dynamic range. Natural preserves realistic tonality; Vibrant delivers punchier results with stronger local contrast. Both merge true exposure brackets, not a single frame pushed twice. Long Exposure Simulation — Silky water, light trails, and cloud motion without carrying an ND filter, by intelligently averaging a burst. Motion Removal — Statistically filter moving subjects out of a sequence to clear tourists and traffic from an architectural shot. Motion Blur — Deliberate motion blur from a short burst, with motion-aware masking that keeps static elements sharp. Exposure Bracketing — Capture a proper bracket set for HDR, or for merging later on the desktop. Every sequence is aligned first, with multiple alignment engines and a quality gate that rejects a warp it can’t verify — so camera shake between frames doesn’t become a soft result. A REAL RAW WORKFLOW Capture in the format your workflow expects: • DNG (RAW) — unprocessed sensor data • ProRAW — RAW with computational benefits (iPhone 12 Pro and later) • HEIF / JPEG / TIFF — processed, with computational enhancements • Content Credentials — C2PA provenance for authenticity tracking SEE IT BEFORE YOU SHOOT • Face-Driven Autofocus — the camera’s own face detection steers focus and exposure; tap to take over • Focus Peaking — sharp areas highlighted live • Live Histogram — exposure distribution as you frame • Composition Grid — rule-of-thirds and grid overlays • Black & White Preview — see in monochrome before you commit GPU-ACCELERATED, ENTIRELY LOCAL A Metal pipeline does the heavy lifting: wavelet-based focus stacking, 8-DOF homography alignment, motion-aware processing, and real-time rendering all run on your device’s GPU. Results in seconds, not minutes — and no cloud upload, ever. ALWAYS ONE TAP AWAY Launch straight from the Lock Screen or Control Center when the moment won’t wait — with tap to focus and Camera Control support built in. WHO IT’S FOR Photographers who miss having actual controls, macro shooters who need depth of field a single frame can’t give them, and anyone who wants their phone’s processing power aimed at their own decisions instead of someone else’s automatic ones.

PresetCollection makes it easy to use Lightroom-style `.xmp` presets on your photos without a complicated editing workflow. Start with the included preset collections, then add your own preset files from the Files app. PresetCollection copies imported presets into the app, organizes them by group when possible, and lets you switch between looks from a clean preset menu. It is built for people who already have favorite presets, buy preset packs from photographers, or create their own looks in Lightroom and want a simple way to apply them on iPhone and iPad. What you can do: - Import one or many `.xmp` preset files - Import folders that contain `.xmp` presets - Browse presets by group, including included and imported groups - Apply presets to photos from your library - Adjust Strength from less effect to more effect - Keep black-and-white presets black and white at every strength level - Compare the edited photo with the original - Save edited images to Photos - Share edited images with other apps - Delete presets or preset groups you no longer want - Use the app in portrait or landscape on iPhone and iPad PresetCollection is especially useful if you collect presets from multiple places. You might use presets you created in Lightroom, presets shared by friends or photographers, free Lightroom preset downloads, or paid preset packs from marketplaces such as Adobe Exchange, Creative Market, Etsy, or individual photographer shops. Only import presets you own, created yourself, or have permission to use. PresetCollection approximates supported Lightroom-style settings with a native iOS photo rendering pipeline. Results may not exactly match Adobe Lightroom, but the app is designed to make preset-based editing quick, flexible, and easy.
