About

Plumb.cam

Read full description

Plumb is a camera for architecture, interiors and urban spaces. Automatic perspective correction helps reduce leaning lines, while live filters and photo editing let you refine color and composition. CORRECT PERSPECTIVE. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Plumb uses camera and motion information recorded at capture to create a separate corrected photo. Turn on live correction preview to see the framing before you shoot, and compare the original with the corrected result. Results depend on capture conditions; when a safe correction cannot be made, the original is preserved. FIND YOUR COLOR AS YOU SHOOT Swipe through live filters to preview the look before capture. Explore built-in styles including Classic, Morandi and Cool Tone, or create your own with curves, HSL and color grading. Try random color generation for inspiration, import compatible LUT files, and pin your favorites for easy access. EDIT FREELY. PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL. Crop, adjust perspective and color, or change filters after shooting. Edits are saved separately without overwriting the original photo or its capture information. Compare the original and edited result, view shooting parameters and edit details, and choose which original, corrected or edited version to save or share. ONE VISIT, ONE ALBUM Use Current Shoot to organize a session, create an album or add photos to an existing one. Browse your Library in a grid or masonry layout, and sort albums by recent updates or creation time. Exported photos automatically use filenames containing the capture time for easier archiving and sharing. LOCAL PROCESSING. YOUR CHOICE. Photos and correction processing stay on your iPhone. Your Library is stored locally by default; choose to save to Apple Photos, share, or enable iCloud Library sync with Plumb Pro. No Plumb account required, no ads and no cross-app tracking. FREE ACCESS AND PLUMB PRO Try automatic perspective correction for free, with an allowance for saving corrected photos. Upgrade to Plumb Pro to remove that allowance and unlock iCloud Library sync. Choose a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown before purchase. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or canceled in your Apple Account settings. iCloud sync requires available iCloud storage.
