ScubaShot

Features
Read full description

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.

Verdict

The call

ScubaShot and DiveTone are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
