Koloristika vs RingThing

Koloristika builds the picture itself. Open the stock camera and the phone hands you a finished photo. Face detection, scene recognition, exposure blending, a neural network deciding what your sky should look like. All of it decided before you ever see the shot. Koloristika starts a step earlier, at the sensor, and assembles the image from raw data. Demosaic, tone, noise, color, the whole build. Two things do that work, and they hold each other up. One is the color science. SUCOMO3 shaped the biggest films of the last decade. DSTOCK is what came next, and it lands here first. The cinema industry gets it after you. Film is chemistry. So is this. SILVERLITH carries density from rich dye layers to silver-retained bleach bypass. Saturation comes out the way film subtracts it, never the way a slider adds it. The result is a photograph, not a render. The other is the RAW engine. Every shot keeps the full-sensor RAW, whole, the way the sensor saw it. Because the negative is always there, nothing you decide is ever spent. Reframe a shot to a longer lens or a cinema format a year later, and nothing is cut from the RAW. Let Auto Horizon straighten a tilt at capture, then put it back if you disagree. Change the look a hundred times. The edit sits on the negative and never touches it. The two are not really separate. The color science is what makes the picture worth keeping. The RAW engine is what keeps it yours to change. Nothing else is built this way. The shot is yours. So is everything you make from it. THE PROOF THE EDITOR. Six sliders, each modeled from real film. Density, exposure, upper density, temperature, tint, subtractive saturation. Horizontal for big moves, vertical for fine ones. Every edit non-destructive, every edit auto-saved. REFRAME. A director's viewfinder for a shot you already own. Recompose after capture, with a longer simulated lens in real millimeters and cinema or photo formats. The RAW never gets cut. AUTO HORIZON. Straightens a tilted horizon at capture, up to ten degrees. Change it or clear it in Reframe. DOUBLET. A real double exposure as a new RAW. Two of your captures added at the sensor, photon for photon, before the picture is built. One editable negative, not a JPG overlay. The densities come out right because they were never faked. The first on iOS to do it in RAW. DRX. Two extra stops of dynamic range. One shot, two renders, fused by luminance. Not HDR, not bracketing. CLR. Color Locus Reset. Chroma noise that falls outside real color gets walked back to the edge of what light can actually be. The grain stays. SCOUT MODE. Cinema and photography ratios. Focal-length equivalents across Super16, Super35, VistaVision, and 65mm. Simulated lenses beyond the physical one. FrameStamp burns format, focal length, ratio, coordinates, and date into one black bar. GPS stays on the device. CHROMOGRAM. The seven dominant hues of a frame, read live and sized by area. Burn it into the export with the color data. FORMULATIONS. F1, F2, F3. Your look, applied at capture. Change it later. The edit is always there. TONE SEED. Every edit in eight characters. Share the code, share the look. GALLERY. Chronological, with badges on every thumbnail. Calendar view. Map view. EXPORT. JPG or TIFF. Full or half resolution. 8-bit or 16-bit. QUICK ACCESS. Lock Screen widget, Control Center, Camera Control on iPhone 16 and later. Thirty-six shots free, no clock. Then a subscription, monthly or yearly. Your photos stay on your device. No accounts with us, no tracking, no ads. iCloud sync, if you want it, is your own. 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.
