iskra studio is a photo editing app for photographers, creators, and anyone who cares how their photos look. Built by a photographer with 16+ years behind the camera who got tired of tools that slow you down, hidden features, and preset libraries padded to look bigger. Develop your photos. Don't fix them. WHAT'S INSIDE: SOLO FLOW Your finger never leaves the photo. Swipe up or down to switch tools, left or right to adjust, tap to change options. One finger. Full control. BLOOM Soft glow around bright areas. Digital cameras produce hard edges between bright and dark. Bloom softens that transition the way film and vintage lenses naturally did. HALATION Warm red-orange bleed around high-contrast edges. On real film, light passes through the emulsion and exposes the red layer first. The halo you see in 35mm cinema. GHOST A slow sync effect that keeps the photo sharp and drags the light. The slow shutter look from a single still photo. You pick the strength, the length and the direction of the trail. ANALOG That feeling of a photo shot on film. Warmer, softer, a little less perfect. Developed on any photo you shot digital. FILM PRESETS Real film stocks, hand-picked from years of shooting experience, developed for your phone. The tones, the light, the character, faithful to the original. ISKRA LEGACY PRESETS Presets created by iskra studio photographers and used in their professional work. FLASHBACK Camera flash simulation using depth and face detection. Closer subjects get more light, background falls off naturally. Not a flat brightness boost. RAW Import RAW files from any camera (Sony, Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Leica and more) or your iPhone. More image data, more control. Skip the automatic adjustments. DEVELOP ROLL Develop one photo, copy the adjustments, apply them to the rest of the series. Every photo in the roll developed at once. NON-DESTRUCTIVE EDITING Edits are stored as parameters, never written into the photo. The original in your Photos library stays untouched. A new file is created only on export, saved next to the original. ZERO AI. FULL CONTROL. No auto-enhance. No "improve" button. No algorithm decides what your photo should look like.

E-Log is short for Easy Log: recording in Log, made easy. Your iPhone can already record in Apple Log. E-Log is what makes it usable. Log keeps all the light and colour the sensor can see, but it looks flat and washed out until someone grades it. E-Log puts the grade on the monitor, live, while you shoot. You frame what you'll actually publish, not a grey approximation of it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See your look live. Turn on the eye and the monitor shows the finished image. The file stays raw. • Or bake it in. One button and the clip comes out already graded, ready to publish with no edit. • Both, on the same take. Preview one look, export with another. Nothing is decided at the moment you press record. • Bring your own looks. Import any .cube LUT built for Apple Log. FULL CONTROL, ONLY WHEN YOU WANT IT Shutter, ISO and white balance in auto, manual, or any mix of the two. Shutter angle or speed. Automatic limits so auto never picks something you'd never pick. WHAT YOU NEED TO JUDGE AN EXPOSURE Waveform and histogram · zebra on highlights or midtones · focus peaking · framing guides for 9:16, 2.39 and more · horizon level. None of them is ever recorded into the file. YOUR CLIPS STAY YOURS Takes live in the app's own library, not in Photos: they are 10-bit files and the system would compress them. Export whatever you want, wherever you want, in Log or already graded. REQUIREMENTS E-Log needs an iPhone that can record in Apple Log (iPhone 15 Pro and later Pro models). The app checks your device at first launch and tells you straight away if it can't. SUBSCRIPTION E-Log is a subscription. Yearly and Monthly include exactly the same features (recording in Log, looks on the monitor, and exporting clips with the look baked in), and Yearly comes with a free trial. Cancel anytime in one tap. Downloading the .cube files themselves, to take your looks into DaVinci, Premiere or another camera, is a separate one-time purchase available to any subscriber once the free trial has ended.
