About

Puro

This app offers two distinct shooting modes: one that captures raw, unedited images directly from the sensor, and another that utilizes computational photography features. It provides extensive manual controls for ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and exposure, along with live metering and composition tools.

Highlights
  • Zero AI single-exposure RAW DNG capture
  • Standard mode with Apple's computational pipeline
  • DSLR-style manual controls (ISO, shutter, WB, EV)
  • Live metering with histogram and level indicator
  • Zero Studio for non-destructive RAW re-development
  • Dual output: RAW DNG and developed image
  • Grid overlays and aspect ratio control
