HUEO is a professional Log restoration and color-processing app for video creators. Complete the workflow from import and real-time preview to technical Log restoration, precise grading, and high-quality export on iPhone, iPad, and Mac—while preserving available source information such as the original capture date and location. HIGH-FIDELITY LOG RESTORATION HUEO uses published camera color specifications to restore Apple Log / Apple Log 2, Sony S-Log3, Nikon N-Log, DJI D-Log / D-Log2, Insta360 I-Log, Canon Log 2 / Canon Log 3, and Fujifilm F-Log / F-Log2 into natural images that remain ready for further grading. PROFESSIONAL COLOR WORKFLOW • Process color in an extended-linear Rec.2020 wide-gamut workspace • Adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, white balance, and saturation • Shape tone and color with Luma, RGB, Red, Green, and Blue curves • Grade shadows, midtones, highlights, and global balance with primary color wheels • Refine individual hues with an eight-color mixer • Evaluate luminance and color with video scopes • Apply built-in creative looks or import .cube LUTs • Save editable personal looks for reuse HIGH-QUALITY EXPORT THAT PRESERVES SHOOTING INFORMATION Export at the original resolution or in HEVC 10-bit. When the source video contains the information and your export settings allow it, HUEO preserves the original capture date, location, orientation, audio, and other available metadata—reducing the need to re-enter shooting information after grading. APP ALBUM With Full Photos Access, new external-device imports, generated Live Photos, and color exports saved to Photos are automatically added to the HUEO app album. The album is created when needed and reused for later saves, without duplicating media. Check permissions and recent organization status in Settings > App Album. Past saves and files-only exports are not automatically organized. LOCAL PROCESSING AND PRIVACY Video analysis, preview, color processing, LUT management, metadata handling, and export happen on your device. Location is used only when you choose to preserve it in the exported video. HUEO does not upload your original videos, rendered results, LUTs, personal looks, or location to the developer’s servers. DESIGNED FOR • Creators shooting Log video on phones, cameras, drones, and action cameras • Photographers who care about retaining capture dates, locations, and video metadata • Users who want a natural technical transform with room for precise creative grading • Filmmakers who want a consistent workflow across iPhone, iPad, and Mac The free version includes 30 successful exports. Upgrade to HUEO Pro for unlimited exports and all Pro features. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically; Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase.

Read full description

AnyLUT is a RAW photo editor and 3D LUT workflow for iPhone and iPad. Import camera RAW files, JPEGs, HEIC images, and standard .cube LUTs, then edit in one transparent, controllable, and reversible workflow. It does not repaint your photo. It gives you better control over the photo you already made. 【New in 1.1: Local Masks and On-Device AI Editing】 • Build local adjustments with brushes, erasers, linear or radial gradients, or semantic selections for subjects, people, skies, and more. • Adjust light, colour, detail, and curves independently within each mask. Every change remains editable, comparable, and undoable. • AI Edit (Beta): describe the look you want in natural language, and an on-device model proposes inspectable editing adjustments. It never generates or repaints pixels. • AI Edit requires a compatible Apple Intelligence device, system, and language. Results may vary during beta; every manual tool remains available. 【A transparent editing workflow】 • Import RAW, JPEG, HEIC, and standard 3D .cube LUT files • Preview LUTs on the photo you are editing and control their intensity • Organize LUTs with folders and favourites; apply looks in batches • Fine-tune exposure, highlights, shadows, white balance, HSL, curves, texture, clarity, dehaze, denoise, defringe, crop, and rotation • Compare before and after, keep edits non-destructive, and undo freely • Export JPEG or HEIF in sRGB or Display P3 • Create share-ready before/after posters with photo, camera, and look details 【Local first】 Your photos and LUTs stay on your device. RAW development, previews, editing, AI Edit, and export all happen locally—no account and no original-photo uploads required. Optional anonymous usage and performance analytics can be disabled at any time in Settings.
