[Ver 2.0 Update] The highly anticipated "Editing Feature" is here! You can now shoot, apply LUTs, edit, and export your photos entirely within Loga. [App Overview] Loga is a dedicated camera app designed for creators to unlock the maximum potential of Apple Log on the iPhone 15 Pro, 16 Pro, and 17 Pro series. "I want to capture still photos with the cinematic texture of Apple Log, just like in video." Loga was born from this exact desire. Capture still photos using the Apple Log format—which boasts an incredible dynamic range—and save them in the highest quality. Furthermore, you can load your favorite custom LUTs (.cube files) and preview them in real-time while shooting. Bypass the standard over-processed iPhone look and capture the natural, beautiful atmosphere exactly as your eyes see it. [Key Features] ◆ Apple Log Still Photography Capture the flat, beautifully gradated tones of Apple Log—previously limited to video—directly as still photos. ◆ Real-time LUT Preview & Shooting Import your own custom .cube LUTs. See the color grading applied in real-time on your viewfinder and save the photo with the LUT baked in. ◆ [NEW] Post-Processing & Editing Re-edit your Log data directly within the app and export the final image. You can change LUTs after shooting and make fine adjustments to dial in your perfect look. ◆ Lossless Highest-Quality Saving Save your photos in uncompressed 16-bit TIFF or high-quality 10-bit HEIF to completely prevent color banding (posterization). ◆ Intuitive, Minimalist UI Enjoy a user interface that feels as intuitive as the native camera app, but packed with pro features: minimum shutter speed lock, white balance adjustments, and a highly functional custom LUT manager. [Recommended For] Those who dislike the "over-processed" or "over-sharpened" look of standard smartphone photos and want a natural, DSLR-like texture. Photographers who want to enjoy street photography with cinematic color grading. Creators who aren't satisfied with standard filters (like VSCO or Lightroom) and want to pursue their own unique color grading. [Required Devices] This app requires hardware that supports Apple Log. Available exclusively on the following Pro models: iPhone 15 Pro / iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 16 Pro / iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 17 Pro / iPhone 17 Pro Max [About Loga Premium] Loga is free to download, allowing you to take up to 10 photos with full features as a trial. If you love the experience, please upgrade to "Loga Premium" (Monthly / Annual / One-Time Lifetime Purchase) within the app. This removes the capture limit, allowing you to shoot and edit unlimited photos. Experience the breathtaking cinematic world of Loga today! Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
