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.
