Koloristika vs RingThing

Your phone finishes every photo before you see it. Face detection, scene recognition, exposure blending, a neural network deciding what your sky should look like. Koloristika keeps the negative, a RAW, and develops it with color made for cinema. It comes from The Brim® Industrial Imaging Bureau, the cinema color-science lab that has defined what "cinematic" looks like since 2014. Color for IMAX features, global campaigns, Netflix and Apple TV+ series. Every shot is saved as a RAW and a JPEG, paired. Your edits sit on top of the RAW and never touch it, so you can change the look tonight or a year from now. Reframe to a longer simulated lens in real millimeters, in cinema or photo formats, and the RAW is never cut. Auto Horizon straightens up to ten degrees at capture. If you disagree, put it back. Nothing else is built this way. MONOLITH. Not a black & white mode. A new kind of photograph, and a world first: the first panchromatic black & white RAW from a color sensor. It never makes a color photo. It builds the black & white straight from the sensor data, every color counted by how bright it looks to the eye, like black & white film. One 16-bit channel, no color noise. Neutral, Red, Yellow, Green and Blue filters go into the negative, like glass on the lens. Long-press any older Koloristika RAW to make a mono negative from it. No AI. DOUBLET. The first app to make a true double-exposure RAW. The two frames are added at the sensor-data level, before the picture is built, and saved as one negative. DSTOCK. Seven years of R&D. Every stock is measured from motion picture film. SILVERLITH. Bleach bypass built in film density, the way a lab does it. Slide it the other way and only the dye moves. FORMULATIONS. F1, F2, F3. Set your look before the shot. Change it after. THE EDITOR. Six sliders modeled from film: density, exposure, upper density, temperature, tint and subtractive saturation. Horizontal for big moves, vertical for fine ones. Saved as you go. DRX. Two extra stops from one shot, two renders fused by luminance. Not HDR, not bracketing. CLR. Color Locus Reset. Color noise that falls outside real color is walked back to the edge of what light can be. The grain stays. ON SET. Scout Mode adds cinema and photo ratios and simulated lenses beyond the one on your phone. Chromogram reads the seven dominant hues of the frame live and sizes each by how much of the frame it fills. Turn on FrameStamp when you export. TONE SEED. A whole edit in eight characters, short enough to text to the DP. GALLERY. Chronological, with a badge on every thumbnail. Calendar view. Map view. EXPORT. JPEG or TIFF. Full or half resolution. 8-bit or 16-bit. QUICK ACCESS. Open the camera from the Lock Screen, Control Center, or Camera Control on iPhone 16 and later. 36 shots free, no clock. Then a subscription, monthly or yearly. Your photos stay on your device. Location is off until you turn it on. No accounts with us, no tracking, no ads. iCloud sync is optional and runs on your own account. The negative is yours. So is everything you make from it.

RingThing turns focus ring labels into something you actually want to put on your kit. Built for camera assistants working with ARRI Hi-5, ARRI WCU-4 or Tilta Nucleus M2 hand units (with others in development), it lets you design, preview and export beautifully laid out focus, iris and zoom ring labels straight from your iPhone. Open a .rng file exported from a Hi-5, or import ARRI, cmotion or Tilta LDA calibration tables for the lenses you're using — and RingThing renders a ring label that matches the engraved scales, mark for mark. DESIGN • Carefully drawn typography for imperial and metric focus scales, including superscript fractions and decimals. • Interpolated minor marks with adjustable density so dense ends of the scale stay readable. • Theme system with presets you can override; build and save your own themes, or import a friend's with a QR code. • Live preview with rotation, contrast cues and a print-accurate layout. SOURCES • Open .rng files exported from an ARRI Hi-5. • Import ARRI, cmotion and Tilta LDA (.tab, .cml, .tl) lens calibration tables — by file, by scanning a QR code, or from a photo. • Choose which scale to render from a multi-axis LDA: focus, iris or zoom. • Convert ARRI LDAs to Tilta Nucleus M2 LDA files (Pro) • Files restore on cold launch, so the lens you were just working on is right there when you re-open the app. EXPORT & SHARE • Print-ready PDFs and PNGs sized for A4 stock. • Crisp SVGs for design and cutting tools (Pro). • Themed story-image exports for sharing your work. • Optional contrasting border on print exports for cleaner trimming. • Share imported LDAs with the rest of your camera department. 3D-PRINTABLE APPLICATION JIGS • Share an STL for a left- or right-handed Hi-5, WCU-4 or Tilta Nucleus M jig and print one on any FDM or resin printer. • The jigs hold the labels squarely against the rings while you press down — no more wonky applications. PRO A one-time, no-subscription Pro purchase unlocks SVG export, .rng import, ARRI-to-Tilta LDA conversion, Data Matrix barcodes, persistent theme and LDA libraries, and saved custom themes. Free version users can take LDA imports for a test drive each session before deciding. Feedback and feature requests are very welcome via the Instagram link inside the app.
