What's New In This Version:
HALIDE 1.10: A SPECIAL IPHONE XS UPDATE

Right on the heels of our major 1.9 update, here’s another big one:


● SMART RAW: In Halide 1.10, we’re launching a new feature called Smart RAW for iPhone XS. After extensively testing the new iPhone in the field in the last few weeks, we’ve built a new automatic logic for exposing and getting the best RAW shots out of the iPhone XS, enabling more detail than ever out of any iPhone camera.

There’s nothing to enable. Just shoot in auto exposure you’ll notice lower noise and better highlight recovery in all your RAW shots. Check out some incredible examples on Instagram by searching for the #SmartRAW hashtag.

● VIEW RAW AND JPG PAIRS: Inside our reviewer, we’ve added the option to compare the system JPEG with the RAW.

● WATCH APP UPDATES: We’ve updated our watch app to take advantage of the larger screen on the Apple Watch Series 4.

● OUR THINNEST APP YET: Finally, we did a little cleaning and cut our app size in half.

You can purchase Halide Camera from the App Store for $5.99.
