GridFix
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tilt your camera up at a building and the verticals lean inward. Let your hand tip and the horizon goes crooked. GridFix fixes this the most intuitive way possible: draw guide lines along the edges that should be straight, and the app computes the perspective correction that makes them truly vertical and horizontal. And now, you can get it right at the moment you shoot. LIVE-CORRECTED CAMERA - The corrected image shows live in the viewfinder. What you see is what you get, no guesswork afterwards - A tilt readout shows your pitch and roll at all times - Correct verticals only, or auto-level the horizon as well - Pinch to zoom, EV compensation scale, long-press AE/AF lock, self-timer, volume-button shutter - Level sensor calibration: a fixed offset from your case or sensor tolerance is measured once and subtracted from then on - The session gallery lets you review shots, compare with the original, or send one straight into the editor EDIT IMPORTED PHOTOS - Guide-line correction: no blind slider fiddling, just show the app which lines should be straight - Double-tap to zoom: magnify right where you are working and trace window frames and beams precisely - A loupe keeps the edge visible while you drag, positioned for right- or left-handed use - Lens distortion correction: fixes the outward bow of ultra-wide edges, which perspective correction alone cannot fix - Fine-tuning: adjust every axis manually after the correction - Crop, rotate, flip, and auto-trim the blank edges correction leaves behind - Edit history: every session is saved automatically, so you can reopen and continue any time IMPORT AND EXPORT - Import from Photos, Files and iCloud Drive, or share into GridFix from any other app - Export JPEG, HEIF, PNG or TIFF, at original resolution or a custom size - Everything runs on your device: no account, no network, your photos never leave your phone FREE AND SUBSCRIPTION Every correction tool is free: guide lines, lens distortion, fine-tune sliders, cropping and the live-corrected camera are all fully usable, with unlimited viewfinder time. The limits are only on output: 3 editor exports a day, 10 camera saves a day, both at up to 2048px on the long edge, JPEG, without capture info or location (the capture date and orientation are kept). Subscribing unlocks: - Unlimited exports and unlimited camera saves - Original-resolution export (up to 48MP; the free tier caps the long edge at 2048px) - RAW import (ProRAW, DNG); PNG, TIFF and HEIF export at maximum encoder quality - Full EXIF kept on exports and captures (lens, exposure, location) - Live-corrected video recording (high-bitrate HEVC) GridFix does one thing well: it makes crooked lines straight. No color grading, no filters, no object removal. Available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French and Spanish.

Photographer's Weather shows you at a glance when and where the light is right ā for landscape, astro, macro and every other kind of photography. NEXT PHOTO MOMENT WITH COUNTDOWN See instantly how long until the next golden or blue hour. As a Home Screen and Lock Screen widget, the countdown is always in view ā no need to open the app. SUN, MOON & WEATHER FOR YOUR LOCATION ⢠Sunrise and sunset, golden and blue hour (morning and evening) ⢠Moon phase with illumination, moonrise and moonset, plus a countdown to the next full moon and new moon ⢠Ten photography-relevant weather conditions: golden clouds, afterglow, rain/snow/sleet, thunderstorms, fog, temperature, clear sky, wind, Milky Way and northern lights ⢠24-hour trend for every condition: tap its name to see how probability, temperature or wind develop over the day ⢠Temperature and wind for your chosen forecast time ā plus the current values ⢠Live rain radar on an Apple Map, zoomable and centered on your location COMPASS FOR SUN AND MOON For sunrise and sunset as well as moonrise and moonset, a live compass shows the exact direction. It works like Apple's compass: the dial turns with your iPhone, sun and moon appear in their real direction, and the symbol turns green as soon as you point right at it. Tap to enlarge it with degrees and your current heading ā ideal for lining up tripod and camera in advance. WIND FOR THE OUTDOORS AND ON THE WATER Wind speed in km/h and Beaufort, wind direction and gusts ā in the 24-hour chart with a Beaufort scale and direction arrows. Handy for long exposures, drone flights and water sports. NEVER MISS THE MOMENT AGAIN Reminders for fixed photo moments (golden/blue hour, sunrise/sunset) with a lead time you choose ā plus weather reminders that notify you when a condition becomes likely at your location. The reminder time is when the notification is sent: with a 7:00 AM forecast time and a 6:00 AM reminder time, you'll be notified at 6:00 AM if fog is likely at 7:00 AM. Everything runs locally on your device, with no account and no email required. FAVORITES Save your favorite spots along with all their settings under a name. On the home screen, switch between them with a swipe or a quick-pick list, reorder them by dragging and tag them with your own colors. If you like, you can get the reminders of all favorites at once. PHOTO TIPS For every weather condition, you'll find detailed, expandable tips for better shots. Photographer's Weather is trilingual (German/English/Spanish, automatically follows your system language), optimized for iPhone and iPad, and respects your privacy: no ads, no tracking, no account required.
