Read full description

Develop Log turns flat Log footage into finished pictures, right on your iPhone and iPad. Start from the camera maker's official restore LUTs, grade in layers the way professional colorists do, choose a film look, and export HDR or SDR video or Live Photos. When you want a second pair of eyes, the AI colorist measures your frame and grades step by step with you. RESTORE WITH THE OFFICIAL LUTS • Natural uses Apple's and DJI's own Log-to-Rec.709 LUTs, matched to your camera model • Supports Apple Log, Apple Log 2, DJI D-Log M, D-Log and D-Log2, plus HLG and regular video • Formats are recognized automatically from file tags and DJI metadata GRADE IN LAYERS, UNDER THE LOOK • Primary: exposure, white balance in Kelvin, contrast, highlights and shadows, Lift / Gamma / Gain wheels and curves. On Log footage they work in stops, in linear light, before the look • Secondary: Color Range qualifiers for skin, sky and foliage, HSL, and automatic subject / background masks • Texture: grain, halation, vignette, sharpening and noise reduction FILM LOOKS • Official looks designed for Log footage, applied in one tap with adjustable strength • Import your own .cube LUTs, or save any grade as a look AI GRADE • Describe a feel or attach a reference image • The AI reads the scopes first (luma, clipping, skin tones, white balance), then grades in steps you can follow in the chat • When the direction is open, it asks, with a live preview of each option on your frame • It only uses the app's own tools, so every change is a slider you can undo or fine-tune • Your frame and messages are sent to a third-party AI provider only when you use AI Grade, after you agree. Provider details, processing locations and retention periods are in the Privacy Policy EXPORT • HEVC 10-bit in SDR Rec.709 or HDR HLG; the HDR version follows your SDR grade • Live Photos with an HDR still • Trim, crop and rotate; choose resolution, frame rate and quality • Original shooting metadata is kept FREE AND PRO Restoring, primary grading, official looks and export are free. Develop Log Pro unlocks secondary grading, texture, LUT import, saving looks and AI Grade with a weekly allowance. Max has the same tools with 20 times the weekly AI allowance. AI Top-Ups add allowance that never expires. Subscriptions renew automatically each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://developlog.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://developlog.app/privacy

Create better photos with more control over your photoshoot. Mirror helps photographers and models work together. The photographer shares their iPhone screen, opens Camera, and takes photos as usual. Models see the frames on their own devices and can adjust their pose, expression, and position in the frame. FOR MODELS Models can quickly and easily join existing photoshoots. Choose a photoshoot from the list and see yourself through the photographer’s eyes. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Create a photoshoot, enter a name and the number of models, and add a password if needed. Start the system screen broadcast, then leave Mirror and open Camera. Each photoshoot can include up to 15 models. Use your familiar tools and the standard Camera app to take photos: Mirror does not control the shutter or save photographs. SCREEN SHARING The broadcast may include the entire screen, including notifications. Close any private content and enable Do Not Disturb if needed. The photographer’s device must remain unlocked. Use a trusted local network and share photoshoot details only with invited participants. At least two compatible devices are required. Enable Wi-Fi, allow Local Network access, and keep the devices nearby. Image quality and connection stability depend on your devices and network conditions. Mirror is designed for photoshoots with nearby participants, not remote broadcasting over the internet. Audio is not transmitted.

After these are used, choose an auto-renewable monthly or annual subscription: $3.99/month or $39.99/year in the US; RUB 300/month or RUB 3,000/year in Russia.
