SOOC — Straight Out Of Camera SOOC is a camera recipe notebook for photographers who love JPEGs straight out of camera. If your best Ricoh GR custom settings, Fujifilm film simulation recipes, black-and-white looks, street presets, and night setups are scattered across screenshots and notes, SOOC gives them one clean place to live. Create structured recipe cards: Save camera type, model, style tags, reference photos, and detailed parameter values in a format that is easy to read while shooting. Built for Ricoh and Fujifilm workflows: Record Ricoh image control settings and Fujifilm film simulation parameters, including white balance, WB shift, highlight, shadow, color, sharpness, grain, ISO, exposure compensation, and more. Use the streamlined view for everyday recipes or open the full parameter list when you need precision. Photo-based organization: Attach up to 5 sample images to each recipe so you can remember the look, mood, and use case before setting up your camera. Find recipes faster: Organize by Ricoh/Fuji folders, camera model, and style tags such as street, night, color, B&W, portrait, outdoor, or your own labels. Sync when you need it: Sign in with Apple and use iCloud sync to keep your profile, settings, header image, folders, recipes, parameters, and reference images available across your devices. Made for photographers, not noise: SOOC is minimal, bilingual, supports light/dark display modes, and lets you choose one-column or two-column browsing.
