Image Inspector vs ScubaShot

Every photo carries a second layer: where it was taken, which iPhone took it, when it was really edited, and sometimes a thumbnail of what it looked like before you touched it. Image Inspector reads that layer and puts it in plain language. Open a photo. A few seconds later you have a full report. WHAT IT FINDS • Hidden location. Coordinates, altitude, compass heading and speed, decoded from the file and flagged before you post. • The Story. Your photo retold as a narrative: the device, how you were holding it, the angle of the sun, whether it was golden hour. Worked out offline from the metadata alone. • Tamper Check. The file cross-examined against itself. Capture, digitized and modify clocks that disagree. A camera clock that drifts from GPS satellite time. Recorded dimensions that do not match the real pixels. The embedded preview that still shows the pre-edit image. • Provenance. Reads C2PA Content Credentials, IPTC markers, and the fingerprints that generators such as Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and Firefly leave behind. Declarations only: an unmarked file is reported as unproven, never as real. • Apple maker notes. The private fields other viewers show as an opaque blob: Live Photo identifiers, burst UUIDs, device uptime, grip and tilt, HDR type, colour temperature. Every field listed, none invented. • Readable text, faces, people and pets, QR codes and links, semantic labels and an attention map. • Privacy Audit. Emails, phone numbers, links, card numbers, IBANs, identity documents, embedded author names and camera serial numbers, gathered into one verdict. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone about to post a photo. Marketplace sellers. Photographers who want their own data back. Developers checking a dataset. Anyone curious what a machine sees. HOW IT WORKS Metadata, the story, tamper checks, provenance, faces, text, codes and labels all run on your device using Apple's Vision framework. The Content Safety check is the exception: that image is sent to our server, classified, and deleted. No account. No photo library permission, the picker is enough. Nothing is saved: close a report and it is gone. Share the X-Ray card, or export the whole report as JSON or plain text. It works from the share sheet too.

ScubaShot restores natural color and clarity to underwater photos. Two photos taken seconds apart can need different corrections. ScubaShot corrects each photo individually instead of forcing one preset across the dive. START WITH AUTOMATIC CORRECTION Import a photo, and ScubaShot immediately restores its color, clarity, brightness, and detail. Use Correction Strength to move from the original to the full correction. Compare your result with the original at any time. USE SUBJECT CONTROL Open Subject Control on any photo. ScubaShot creates a starting selection when automatic detection finds the subject. Use Add and Subtract to refine that selection. When detection misses, paint the subject yourself. Adjust the subject’s brightness, warmth, saturation, and sharpness without changing the surrounding water. MAKE YOUR OWN ADJUSTMENTS Open the adjustment panel when a photo needs more attention. Refine Color Restore, Water Clarity, brightness, saturation, sharpness, white balance, tone, hue, and individual color channels. Crop, straighten, rotate, or flip the frame without leaving ScubaShot. CORRECT A FULL DIVE Import one photo or an entire dive. ScubaShot corrects each photo separately. Review the results, select the photos you want, then save or share one, a selection, or the entire set. USE THE CAMERA YOU CARRY Import photos from phones, action cameras, compacts, and dedicated cameras in housings. ScubaShot opens common image formats and RAW files that iOS supports, including Apple ProRAW. Choose JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or TIFF for export. ScubaShot keeps useful capture metadata, and you decide whether exports include location. WORK OFFLINE Use ScubaShot without an internet connection. It processes every image on your device and never uploads your photos. You do not need a ScubaShot account. TRY EVERY FEATURE Import and preview as many photos as you want. Use every correction and control from the start. Export five photos for free. One purchase unlocks unlimited exports. ScubaShot has no subscription.
