About

LookBridge

Features
Read full description

See a look you love? LookBridge tells you how to shoot it on the camera you own. Point the AI coach at any photo โ€” a film still, someone else's shot, your own frame โ€” and it explains how to recreate the look: the exact settings in your camera's own menu language, plus the genre, the lighting and the technique behind the shot. It works for any brand: Fujifilm, Ricoh, Sony, Canon, Nikon, OM and more. Every result is honest about its confidence โ€” never a fabricated number. For Fujifilm and Ricoh, LookBridge goes deeper: โ€ข READ โ€” Open any Fujifilm or Ricoh JPEG and pull the exact film simulation / Image Control and every parameter, straight from the EXIF. Always correct, never guessed. โ€ข PREVIEW & EXPORT โ€” Render a recipe onto your own photo with our calibrated Fujifilm and Ricoh GR IV engines, fine-tune the parameters live like the in-camera menu, compare with a before/after slider, and export at full resolution. โ€ข RICOH GR LIVE โ€” No viewfinder and bright sun washing out the screen? Connect your Ricoh GR over Bluetooth and hear your settings spoken in your earbuds, live as you turn the dial โ€” free for ISO, aperture and shutter, and in Pro pick any values (EV, white balance, battery and more). Frame by eye, set by ear. โ€ข CHECKLIST โ€” Set up your camera step by step, in its own menu order. โ€ข COMMUNITY โ€” Discover recipes shared by other photographers, and publish your own with your sample shot and a profile photo. Universal app for iPhone and iPad. Reading, preview and the on-device estimate run on your device; a photo is sent for AI analysis only when you ask. Free: read recipes, browse the community, save your recipes, and get a quick on-device look estimate. A one-time Pro unlock (no subscription) adds the calibrated Fujifilm and Ricoh GR IV engines, live preview with before/after compare, full-resolution render & export, the customizable Ricoh GR live readout, and a starter bundle of AI coach analyses. More AI analyses are available as one-time packs. "Fujifilm" and "Ricoh" are used descriptively only. LookBridge is not affiliated with or endorsed by either company.
