Better photos from your iPhone — no f-stops required. The camera is rebuilt around Auto Optimize: one primary button by the shutter sets every dial for you, field looks sit on a right-edge rail, and full manual control slides out from the left. ProTune AI Camera is a field camera for photographers who want the recipe AND the dial position. Auto Optimize reads the scene, picks the right photo recipe, and writes real capture dials on your iPhone — shutter, ISO, EV, white balance, focus and zoom. Not filters. Real dials. Your last photo is always one tap away, and you can dictate the scene with the mic. WHAT AUTO OPTIMIZE SETS • Shutter / exposure duration • ISO • EV bias • White balance (temp & tint) • Focus lock • Zoom / lens and torch, when the scene calls for it EVERY DIAL, EXPLAINED Teach Mode shows which recipe was chosen, which dials moved and why — an instructor over your shoulder, not a chat wall. REAL DIALS, NOT FILTERS Field looks are capture grades applied live in the viewfinder — golden hour, mono ink, teal orange and more — with intensity you control. Name one out loud or type it and it's applied on-device. Never beauty filters. Never sky replacement. SELFIE MODE Front camera gets the same treatment: face-tuned Auto Optimize and fixed capture, so self-portraits get real exposure decisions too. FREE PEEK VS PRO • Free: browse every recipe, live viewfinder, 1 Auto Optimize per day • AI Camera Pro: unlimited Auto Optimize, manual dials, full Teach Mode, interactive field checklists $7.99/month or $59.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions via Apple In-App Purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://photo.grepawk.com/privacy BUILT FOR THE FIELD Recipes come from classic field technique — panning, motion control, HDR, focus discipline, low angle — each with dials, steps and checklists.

Your photos now have an editor. Tonalier’s characters read each photo, its light, its colors and what’s in it, and edit it in their own style. The result fits the photo, because it was made for that photo. Every editing tool is free, and you stay in charge: see every step they took, turn any of them off, and finish the edit yourself. EDITORS WHO EACH SEE IT THEIR OWN WAY • Lupe, pastel and airy: bright, soft light with a touch of pink. • Roxie, film: warm, soft and a little faded, with real grain. • Margo, golden: warm afternoon light, honey and earth tones, quiet blues. • Dario, cinematic: deeper tones, cool shadows and warm highlights. • Nilo, street at dusk: deep tones, quiet color and warm lights left glowing. • Esme, people: bright, soft light and gently warm skin. • Elio, clean: clean whites, true color and crisp detail. Fixes what is off and leaves the rest alone. Pick one and watch it work. Each character reads the photo first and leaves alone what is already right. “What Roxie Did” lists each step of the edit, and you can turn any of them off. The Effect slider sets how much of it you keep, and each character remembers the Effect you like. Keep editing afterward: every tool is still yours. Nothing changes until you choose it. 25 LOOKS, MADE BY HAND A Look gives a photo a mood; a character fits the edit to the photo. Use them together. Looks come in six series: Portrait, Film, Cinema, Bright, Moody and Mono, each with an Amount slider. Tap a Look to see it on your own photo. A REAL RAW EDITOR, AND EVERY TOOL IS FREE • Light, color, tone curve, HSL, color grading, skin tone, detail, lens corrections, grain and vignette • Masks to edit just one part: subject, background, people, brush, linear and radial gradients, luminance and color ranges; add, subtract and intersect them • Heal: tap a spot or paint over a small blemish and it is filled from the photo around it • Crop with common ratios in one list, a straighten dial and perspective correction • Histogram and clipping warning • Opens RAW files (DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2 and more) as well as JPEG, HEIC, PNG and TIFF • Non-destructive, with unlimited history A LIBRARY YOU CAN SEARCH Edits save themselves, and every photo opens the way you left it. Type what you remember: what’s in the photo, a color, a date, a camera setting. Smart collections gather edited, unedited and RAW photos for you. Rate, pick and reject. Make variants to try a second edit. Start a whole set of photos with a character at once. READY TO SHARE Export opens on Social and fits the photo to the format you pick: portrait, square, story or landscape. Fit keeps the whole photo on a white, black or blurred background; Fill fills the frame. Choose Custom for format, quality, color space, size and metadata. From Photos, tap Share and choose Tonalier to send a photo straight in. YOUR PHOTOS STAY WITH YOU Your photos are processed on your device and are not uploaded. No sign-up: open it and edit. Your originals stay as they are; every edit can be undone, and exporting always creates a new file.
