A new iOS app named Photon has been released by LateNiteSoft, the company behind the well-known iPhone app Camera+. This new software specializes in professional photo shooting. The app’s straightforward user interface and multiformat support are the developers’ main marketing tools.
In addition to quick automatic shooting, the app makes it simple to adjust focus, shutter speed, ISO (the sensor’s sensitivity to light), and white balance (a parameter that determines how “warm” or “cool” your image is).
To access the pro capabilities, users must subscribe for $3.99 per month or $19.99 per year, but they can download and shoot in auto mode for free. For a lifetime subscription, the business additionally presently charges $39.99. The app’s developers currently provide a seven-day trial of the program.
From the primary screen, you can rapidly access buttons to adjust an image’s format, quality, and flash settings as well as to switch between lenses, including wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and selfie.
The flash control, which has settings including auto, on, off, and torch, is located above the viewfinder on the left. Users can view a histogram, a graph that depicts the various light tones in the image, in the top-right corner.
By default, the camera also provides a 3 x 3 grid that can be used to frame an object according to the “rule of thirds.” For the uninitiated, the rule frequently refers to positioning a subject so that the other two-thirds of the frame is open.
Sliders can be used to modify the settings for all manual controls, including focus, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. Additionally, the screen will provide numerical values for items like white balance in degrees Kelvin and the percentage of the camera’s maximum focus distance.
Users of the program can save a combination of JPEG/HEIF and RAW, as well as the JPEG, HEIF, True RAW, and ProRAW formats. Additionally, without leaving the app, users may quickly review all of the images they shot during a session and delete any that they don’t want. The developer of the program, LateNiteSoft, has also created thorough documentation for Photon so that anyone — even non-photographers — can learn more about utilizing manual settings to shoot images.
The software will immediately compete with established players like the well-known Halide app, which provides a somewhat more affordable membership at $2.99 per month and $11.99 per year.
However, Nol Rosenthal, a product manager at the business, thinks this app has a challenging learning curve. With Photon, the business hopes to make learning professional photography simpler. “Photon is the outcome of our unburdened, more than ten years’ worth of industry experience.
