Lambda Photo is a professional color-grading editor for iPhone and iPad. Open JPEG, HEIC, or RAW, work with a live preview, and export a photo you can be proud of — including HDR HEIC that looks right on an HDR display and still holds up on SDR. Built for light, color, and skin. Exposure, Subject Exposure, and Relight give you control after the shot. HSL, curves, film looks, and .cube LUTs put color back in the image without pushing skin off-natural. Finish with subject, sky, and background masks, linear and radial grades, bokeh, grain, and Golden Hour. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Light: exposure, highlights, shadows, HDR, relight, subject exposure • Color: HSL, curves, temperature, vibrance, split tone, LUT import • Detail: sharpen, denoise, Ultra Denoise, texture, clarity • Finish: subject / sky / background, brush, linear, radial, bokeh, vignette • Looks: profiles, film, presets — plus your own .cube LUT or .dcp • Portrait: skin, eyes, teeth — edge-aware, on device • Batch export and edit from Photos or the share sheet • Formats: JPEG, HEIC, RAW, PNG, JPEG XL Everything runs on your device. No account required. Lambda Photo is free to edit; an optional auto-renewing Monthly Subscription removes ads after you save. SUBSCRIPTIONS Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The Monthly Subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Unused portions of a free trial, if offered, are forfeited when you purchase.

Oriole : Clean Beauty Camera turns your camera roll into a personal photo studio — no editing degree required. Most photos follow the same story: you take the shot, wince at the lighting or a stray object in frame, and either delete it or leave it as-is. Oriole : Clean Beauty Camera closes that gap. Shoot with a live filter already applied, then hand anything that needs more work to the AI tools built into the app, and stay focused on the moment, not the fix. SHOOT Point, frame, and shoot with your filter already visible in the viewfinder, not guessed at afterward. Pick a capture ratio (Full, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or 16:9), switch between front and back cameras, and shoot photos or video. Already have a shot you like? Import it straight from your library instead. THEN REFINE From any photo, choose a tool: AI Enhance — corrects lighting, blur, and noise in one pass. Built for the photo that looked fine on screen and disappointing once you zoomed in. AI Face Retouch — smooths skin texture and brightens eyes without the plastic, over-filtered look. Identity stays untouched; only the finish changes. Remove Object — paint over anything that doesn't belong in the frame: a stranger in the background, a stray item, a blemish, and erase it cleanly. Everything outside your brush strokes is guaranteed to stay exactly as it was. Manual Editor — full manual control: crop to any ratio, layer a filter, fine-tune brightness and saturation, draw directly on the photo, or add text. Free for everyone, subscribed or not. Every AI result comes with a before/after slider so you can see exactly what changed, then saves straight to your gallery in full resolution, no watermark, ever, and is one tap from being shared. DAILY TOKENS AI Enhance, AI Face Retouch, and Remove Object each spend one generate token. Subscribers get 4 tokens a day, refreshed automatically 24 hours after your last reset. Need more before the next reset? A one-time top-up of 4 extra tokens is available any time from Settings. PLANS & PRICING The camera and Manual Editor are free for everyone. AI Enhance, AI Face Retouch, and Remove Object require one of three auto-renewing subscription plans, all of which unlock every AI tool and the full daily token allowance. The only difference between them is how ads are shown: • Weekly — US$4.99 per week. All features unlocked. Interstitial and App Open ads are shown. • Monthly — US$12.99 per month. All features unlocked. Only App Open ads are shown. • Yearly — US$39.99 per year. All features unlocked. No ads at all. Prices shown are for the U.S. storefront and may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. Manage or cancel any subscription any time in your Apple ID account settings — no need to contact us.
