BridgeLite
Read full descriptionHide full description
BridgeLite is a fast photo culling app built for photographers who shoot raw + jpg simultaneously. Designed for high-volume shooting — events, travel, sports, weddings — BridgeLite helps you quickly decide which shots to keep. After culling, hand off your picks to Lightroom or any other editing app in seconds. **Treat raw + jpg as one shot** Automatically pairs raw and jpg files from the same shot. Switch between them seamlessly with one tap to compare before rating. **Fast Thumbnail Browsing** Prioritizes embedded thumbnails for instant loading, even in folders with hundreds of shots. Scroll smoothly and filter on the fly. **Star Ratings & Color Labels** Rate shots 1–5 stars and apply color labels, written to XMP sidecar files. Fully compatible with Lightroom, Capture One, and other professional tools. **Powerful Filtering** Filter by aperture, shutter speed, focal length, rating, file type, or date — focus on exactly what you need, like showing only unrated shots to work through a backlog efficiently. --- Perfect for: • Photographers who shoot raw + jpg simultaneously • High-volume shooters: events, weddings, travel, sports • Anyone who finds Lightroom too heavy just for selecting photos --- **Requirements & Notes** To browse photos on an SD card, a Lightning or USB-C SD card reader adapter is required (sold separately). Files accessible through the standard Files app can also be browsed directly. Please note that reading from SD cards or low-speed connections such as USB 2.0 ports may result in reduced performance due to transfer speed limitations. For best performance, iPhone Pro models with USB 3.0 are recommended.
AnyLUT

AnyLUT is a RAW photo editor and 3D LUT workflow for iPhone and iPad. Import camera RAW files, JPEGs, HEIC images, and standard .cube LUTs, then edit in one transparent, controllable, and reversible workflow. It does not repaint your photo. It gives you better control over the photo you already made. 【New in 1.1: Local Masks and On-Device AI Editing】 • Build local adjustments with brushes, erasers, linear or radial gradients, or semantic selections for subjects, people, skies, and more. • Adjust light, colour, detail, and curves independently within each mask. Every change remains editable, comparable, and undoable. • AI Edit (Beta): describe the look you want in natural language, and an on-device model proposes inspectable editing adjustments. It never generates or repaints pixels. • AI Edit requires a compatible Apple Intelligence device, system, and language. Results may vary during beta; every manual tool remains available. 【A transparent editing workflow】 • Import RAW, JPEG, HEIC, and standard 3D .cube LUT files • Preview LUTs on the photo you are editing and control their intensity • Organize LUTs with folders and favourites; apply looks in batches • Fine-tune exposure, highlights, shadows, white balance, HSL, curves, texture, clarity, dehaze, denoise, defringe, crop, and rotation • Compare before and after, keep edits non-destructive, and undo freely • Export JPEG or HEIF in sRGB or Display P3 • Create share-ready before/after posters with photo, camera, and look details 【Local first】 Your photos and LUTs stay on your device. RAW development, previews, editing, AI Edit, and export all happen locally—no account and no original-photo uploads required. Optional anonymous usage and performance analytics can be disabled at any time in Settings.
