Chromagraph Camera, announced by director Rian Johnson, costs $12.99 and aims to make iPhone photos look less overprocessed with no settings to adjust.
A new iPhone camera app called Chromagraph Camera costs $12.99 and aims to make phone photos look less overprocessed. Movie director Rian Johnson announced it last week. A 9to5Mac reviewer paid for it and says it is the point and shoot app he has wanted.
The app is built to change what a smartphone photo looks like. The reviewer says most camera apps make users dial in settings. He wants to tap and shoot, and he says Chromagraph works that way.
His complaint is with Apple's default look, not the hardware. He notes that a RAW photo, which is an unprocessed file with extra detail, can look surprisingly good once edited by hand. He also found the new film texture option on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo a bit exaggerated.
Adobe's Project Indigo came close to the look he wanted. But it spends a long time processing each photo, and he lost a few photos when the app closed in the background mid-process.
This is one reviewer's opinion, and he calls $12.99 a higher starting price. The article does not explain how Chromagraph creates its look or which iPhones can run it. It also offers no side-by-side tests. Anyone curious may want to see sample photos first.
If iPhone photos look overdone to you, Chromagraph Camera at $12.99 is one reviewer's easy, no-settings fix, but it is only one opinion.
