fractur brings styled capture, on-device photo selection and a second chance to refine a look into one workflow. SHOOT WITH CHARACTER Choose a look before you capture. Explore warm, cinematic, soft and clean styles, with distinct treatments of color, grain and light. Your original capture remains available for another edit. FIND YOUR STRONGEST FRAMES After ten completed photos, open Gallery > Highlights. Fractur uses visual quality, sharpness, exposure and similarity to build a varied selection from your own photographs. Repeated views compete for space, and your selection develops as you shoot more. Analysis happens on device. START WITH BASIC Basic includes ten captures in your first 24 hours, then five per 24-hour window, and three re-renders per day. Highlights is available with Basic.

Photo processing and photo analysis run on your device; analytics and crash reporting are described in the Privacy Policy. Purchase options and restoration are available in Settings. Current prices and terms are shown before purchase. Choose a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Edit your photos like a pro, with no watermark. Tonalier’s built-in editors read each photo, its light, its colors and what’s in it, and edit it in their own style. You stay in charge: see every step, turn any of them off, and finish the edit yourself. Every editing tool is included. No sign-up, and your photos stay on your device. EDITORS WHO EACH SEE IT THEIR OWN WAY • Lupe, pastel and airy: bright, soft light with a touch of pink. • Roxie, film: warm, soft and a little faded, with real grain. • Margo, golden: warm afternoon light, honey and earth tones, quiet blues. • Dario, cinematic: deeper tones, cool shadows and warm highlights. • Nilo, street at dusk: deep tones, quiet color and warm lights left glowing. • Esme, people: bright, soft light and gently warm skin. • Elio, clean: clean whites, true color and crisp detail. Fixes what is off and leaves the rest alone. Each one leaves alone what is already right. “What Roxie Did” lists each step of the edit. The Effect slider sets how much of it you keep. 25 LOOKS, MADE BY HAND A Look gives a photo a mood; a character fits the edit to the photo. Looks come in six series: Portrait, Film, Cinema, Bright, Moody and Mono, each with an Amount slider. Tap a Look to see it on your own photo. Save an edit you like as a Look of your own. A REAL RAW EDITOR, EVERY EDITING TOOL INCLUDED • Light, color, tone curve, HSL, color grading, skin tone, detail, lens corrections, grain and vignette • Masks to edit just one part: subject, background, people, brush, linear and radial gradients, luminance and color ranges; add, subtract and intersect them • Heal: tap a spot or paint over a small blemish and it is filled from the photo around it • Crop with common ratios in one list, a straighten dial and perspective correction • Histogram and clipping warning • Opens RAW files (DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2 and more) as well as JPEG, HEIC, PNG and TIFF • Non-destructive, with unlimited history A LIBRARY YOU CAN SEARCH Edits save themselves, and every photo opens the way you left it. Type what you remember: what’s in the photo, a color, a date, a camera setting. Smart collections gather edited, unedited and RAW photos for you. Rate, pick and reject. Make variants to try a second edit. Paste an edit onto another photo, all of it or only the parts you choose. READY TO SHARE Export opens on Social and fits the photo to the format you pick: portrait, square, story or landscape. Fit keeps the whole photo on a white, black or blurred background; Fill fills the frame. Choose Custom for format, quality, color space, size, metadata and a copyright line. Select several photos to share them as a set: one format, with fit, fill and border for each. From Photos, tap Share to send a photo straight in. YOUR PHOTOS STAY WITH YOU Your photos are processed on your device and are not uploaded. No sign-up: open it and edit. Your originals stay as they are, and exporting always creates a new file. TONALIER PRO, WHEN YOU WANT MORE Without Pro you keep every editing tool, one Look in every series and one Look of your own, with no watermark, and you paste settings and export one photo at a time. Tonalier Pro, on iPhone and iPad, adds every Look and every character, as many Looks of your own as you like, export presets, and tools for several photos at once: start them with a Look, paste settings, match exposure and export as a set. You can preview Pro Looks and characters on your own photos before you subscribe, and new subscribers start with 7 days free. Tonalier Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available yearly or monthly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
