Welcome to Project Indigo, a new camera experience from Adobe Labs. With a custom computational photography pipeline, a natural image look, and full set of manual camera controls, it offers something for professional and casual photographers alike. Also with new controls for computational cameras and a glimpse into the future of AI image processing on our Tech Previews page.
Available for iPhone 12 and 13 Pro/Pro Max, and all 14, 15, 16, or 17-series devices, and initial support for iPads.
For best experience we recommend using iPhone 15 Pro or newer.
A COMPUTATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY CAMERA
Instead of capturing a single photo, for every shutter press Indigo captures a burst of photos and combines them together to produce a high-quality photo with lower noise and higher dynamic range.
PHOTO MODE VS NIGHT MODE
Photo mode is intended for everyday use in good lighting and has zero shutter lag, meaning it captures the moment you wanted.
Night mode is intended for use in low light. In this mode images are captured after you press the shutter button, but use longer exposure times, further reducing noise.
NATURAL LOOK
Photos produced by Indigo employ computational photography and AI to produce a natural (SLR-like) look for your photos, including special (but gentle) treatment of subjects and skies. This look is applied when generating JPEG images and is embedded as a rendering suggestion in raw DNG files (if enabled). All raw pixels remain intact – the look does not alter them.
PRO CONTROLS
Using these you can take full control of how Indigo captures the image, manually specifying focus, exposure time and ISO, exposure compensation, and white balance. Focus control includes an optional magnified loupe for setting precise focus, and white balance control allows you to tap on an object known to be neutral gray.
Unique to Indigo’s Night mode is manual control over the number of frames aligned and merged into a final photo. More frames result in lower noise but a longer time to capture a photo. There is also a Long Exposure mode: if the phone is on a tripod, this allows the capture of synthetic long exposure effects like “water-into-silk" with infinite number of frames where the camera captures and merges images until stopped.
SUPER-RESOLUTION FOR ZOOM
Using pinch-to-zoom in any camera app often results in image quality loss. To recover the image Indigo employs multi-frame super-resolution which can restore much of the lost quality. ‘SR’ indicator on the zoom buttons shows when it is active.
MACRO MODE
Enable Macro from the viewfinder and capture stunning close-up shots.
VIEWFINDER
Provides a view of the camera parameters that will be used for capture, a live histogram of the scene, zebra striping that shows you where there are over-exposed areas in the image, and a level to help you capture straight images.
LIGHTROOM INTEGRATION
Adobe Lightroom for mobile is the most powerful photo editor in the App Store. Indigo filmstrip allows you to send an image directly to Lightroom mobile app for editing. In addition, our (optional) raw DNG files provide maximum compatibility with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
TECHNOLOGY PREVIEWS
Technology Previews will be a place where we will offer an early look at technologies that may eventually be deployed in Adobe’s flagship products, or that already appear in these products in a slightly different form.
AI DENOISE
One such technology is a variant of the AI-based denoising available in Camera Raw and Lightroom desktop clients. It requires raw DNG as input, and it saves a new DNG to your camera roll.
REMOVE REFLECTIONS
Another example is a variant of the AI-based Remove Reflections technology from Camera Raw and Lightroom desktop clients. It requires a DNG as input, and it saves a medium-resolution JPEG to your camera roll. The technology is designed to address reflections when shooting through plate glass windows that cover most of the camera field of view.
Die Funktionen sind gut und schön übersichtlich. Am Energiemanagement und den Abstürzen der App sollte weiter gearbeitet werden, damit man es sinnvoll nutzen kann.
Fotos wie sie sein sollen

Ich habe auf dem iPhone 15Pro keine Probleme hinsichtlich Abstürzen und Performance. Ja beim verarbeiten der Bilder wird das iPhone warm aber mehr auch nicht. Die Bilder die ich mit der App mache sehen natürlicher und deutlich „fotografischer“ aus als mit der Kamera-App des iPhones. Bin total begeistert und mache nur noch Bilder mit dieser App.
Neue Messlatte
peersh
Diese App setzt definitiv eine neue Messlatte, was an Fotoqualität mit dem Smartphone möglich ist. Am deutlichsten ist die Verbesserung bei Low-Light. Ja, die App lässt das iPhone relativ schnell warm werden und fordert viel Rechenleistung - das Ergebnis ist es allerdings wert. Wichtig beim Fotos machen: Aufgrund des Stackings, versucht die Kamera so ruhig wie möglich zu halten.Ich freue mich auf weitere App-Updates.
Wow !!!
hollahallohollahallo
Fotografiere seit 40 Jahren, einen solch drastischen Sprung allein durch Software habe ich selten erlebt. Ja, das iPhone wird gewaltig heiß, die App ist ein echter iPhone-Killer. Aber hey, das ist ein Forschungsprojekt und Version 1.0!Lesenswert ist die Website vom Projekt Indigo, macht Hoffnung, dass da noch etliches kommt.Herzlichen Dank an die Entwickler!
New features:
- New grid view in the filmstrip. Find your photos more easily. Includes multi-selection for sharing or deletion.
- Use the multi-selection feature in the grid view to import multiple photos into the Lightroom mobile app in one go.
- Filtering of photos in the filmstrip and grid. Select between All Photos, Indigo Album, and Favorites.
- New option to display the 35mm equivalent focal length for rear cameras. Enable in Capture settings.
- Support added for iPhone 17e devices.
Initial iPad support
- Indigo now runs on iPads with at least 6GB of RAM. Note: Project Indigo is not yet tuned for iPad operation. For optimal experience use Project Indigo on an eligible iPhone device.
Bug fixes and improvements:
- Improved overall app stability with a completely reimplemented camera session. You should experience fewer crashes, delays, or hiccups.
- Updated noise and vignetting correction tuning for iPhone 17-series devices.
- Fixed an issue with black Indigo DNG thumbnails when viewed on a Mac.
- Capped exposure time during viewfinding in Night mode for a more responsive viewfinder experience.
- Fixed an issue where overexposed viewfinder was appearing on resuming the app if the app was backgrounded in Night mode with long exposure times.
- Tuned tap-to-focus behavior should help improve focus quality when tapping on small objects when the camera is zoomed in.
- Fixed a bug with vignetting correction for images utilizing the multi-image super-resolution.
- Intra-frame gaps for the Long Exposure feature are now consistent, allowing for better capture of things like light trails.
- Viewfinder video stream is now running at 4K (up from 2K) for a better preview experience when using pinch-to-zoom. It also improves focus loupe sharpness.
- Fixed an occasional bug where capturing photos in rapid succession resulted in two of the photos being identical.
- Fixed a temporary app freeze which may happen occasionally.
- Optimized Auto Exposure computation speed
Known issues:
- In Night mode, when switching quickly from very dark to very bright scenes, the app may get stuck with an overexposed viewfinder for some time. It will converge after a few seconds.
