Honesmith Optics vs Rebrilo

Some photos are better when you make the decisions yourself. Honesmith Optics is an iPhone camera built for RAW and manual photography. Focus and exposure metering can be controlled independently, while manual focus, P/S/M exposure modes, RAW and ProRAW give you direct control when shooting close-up subjects, backlit scenes, or with external lenses. Focus here. Meter there. Tap the preview to set focus. Press and hold to place exposure metering independently. Your subject can stay in focus without forcing you to meter from the same part of the frame. EV compensation gives you a quick final adjustment when you want the image brighter or darker. Shoot RAW. Keep more room to edit. On supported iPhones and camera configurations, Honesmith Optics can capture Bayer RAW or Apple ProRAW and save the original image as DNG, giving you more flexibility for exposure, color, and post-processing. Take more control when you need it. Manual focus, magnified viewing, and Focus Assist make precise focusing easier for macro photography, external lenses, and shallow depth of field. You can control: • ISO • Shutter speed • White balance • Auto and manual focus • Independent exposure metering • EV compensation • RAW / ProRAW • JPEG / PNG • Aspect ratio and filters • Timer • Volume-button shutter • High-resolution photos and 4K video on supported devices No account. No subscription. Your photos stay yours. Honesmith Optics does not require a Honesmith account and does not use Honesmith cloud processing for your photos. Core photo, video, and RAW processing stays on your device. There are no ads or usage analytics. Advanced features are available through one-time in-app purchases. There is no subscription. Whether you are learning manual photography, shooting RAW, working with macro or external lenses, or simply want more control than the built-in camera gives you, Honesmith Optics gives you a more deliberate way to shoot with iPhone. Availability of RAW, ProRAW, high-resolution capture, video formats, and certain camera controls depends on your iPhone, physical lens, iOS version, and current capture configuration.

One purchase covers the Mac, the iPhone and the iPad: Rebrilo on the iPhone and the iPad is the same engine as Rebrilo on the Mac. The photograph on the screen and five tabs under it — Looks, Crop, Creative, Adjust and Masks. Open a photograph and the looks are there; every slider tool turns on a dial under your thumb, with a tick to keep what it did and a cross to put the photograph back. DEVELOP Exposure, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Black Point, Contrast, Brilliance and Dehaze. White Balance on RAW, centred on what the camera recorded. Colour, curves per channel, levels, colour grading, Selective Color, Texture and Clarity, noise reduction, sharpening, lens correction, vignette and grain. A profile decides what the colours start from. MASKS Subject, People and Sky (experimental), found on the device itself, plus radial, linear, brush, luminance range and colour range. Each mask carries its own adjustments and its own light. INTERACTIVE LOOKS Shelves of looks drawn on your own photograph, each with an Amount and, on almost every one, a slider of its own that takes it from subtle to extreme: cinematic, film colour, night, black and white, vintage, Deep Black. Make a Knob gives any look a slider of your own. Search by name or mood, and save your own. CROP AND RETOUCH Aspect shapes, straighten, horizontal and vertical keystone, and a Level button. Heal and clone: tap a blemish and Rebrilo finds a patch that matches. PORTRAIT STUDIO Light a person after the shutter. Drag a light across the photograph with your finger, put a different colour on each side of the face, and choose Add Light or Relight. The fill, the room, the rim, the wall and the backdrop each have a section of their own. AND ONE ROOM THAT IS NOT SENSIBLE An effect rack you build like a pedalboard: colour EQ, drive, echo, bloom and more, every pedal drawn and every knob under your thumb. Light you paint on: a torch, a window, the sun or a shadow, in a room you darken first. Multiple exposure. BEFORE AND AFTER Drag a line across the photograph, or hold a finger on it to see the original. Every step can be undone. ON AN IPAD The same tools, with room to spare. Turn the iPad on its side and the tools stand beside the photograph. YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS STAY YOURS There is no Rebrilo account to make, and Rebrilo does not upload your photographs. Open a photograph from your library, RAW included, and share the finished picture: to Photos, to Files or to another app. The last ten photographs you worked on are one tap away. THE TRIAL Try the complete app free for 14 days. After 14 days, saving and sharing need the one-time purchase or a subscription, and the photograph on screen carries a Rebrilo watermark. Editing keeps working. The one-time purchase: every update for at least two years, on the Mac, the iPhone and the iPad. Requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26.
