Thanks for using PhotonCam. The new version brings some new features: - In the filter management page, when entering the edit mode, now you can find your filters by selecting multiple filter tags. - For iPhone 17 Pro series, now you can use interactive zoom to scale up to 3x when using 4x telephoto camera. The operation is the same as zooming on wide camera. - Now you can select background blurring effect when editing a Frame: gaussian, bokeh, zoom and motion blur types are supported. Also, you can now set the bottom padding of the content in a Frame. Two new Frames have also been added leveraging those feature. - Added a new red RICHO logo in Frame. - When editing Frame from the photo editor, now the image will be the one applied with your filter and adjustments. - When entering the editor, a new hint will be displayed showing the loaded photo version. - Support select and batch favorite/unfavorite multiple photos in the gallery. - Added a new A5 filter. - Optimized UI of Liquid Glass.

Happy New Year 2026! This update brings several improvements: - You can now choose the date stamp format when adding date stamps to photos. - Updated font styles for some built-in frames (for new installations). - After you press the shutter button, the animation now finishes as soon as the exposure is complete, allowing you to take the next photo immediately. Previously, you had to wait until the system finished processing the photo before you could shoot again. This change helps you capture more moments without waiting. Please note that it is still recommended to keep the app open until all photos are saved. - When the Non-Destructive Save option is enabled in Advanced Settings, photos with no filters or effects applied will no longer be saved as edited versions (you won’t see a Revert button in the Photos app). This helps save storage space. - Other improvements and bug fixes.

As we wrap up 2025, this update focuses on stability and polish. Thank you for being part of our journey this year — more refinements are coming in 2026.

Thanks for using PhotonCam. This version: - Made some improvements to the fade and other adjustments. - The focus indicator when choosing the focus point in the Depth Editor now shows in HDR white when HDR is enabled, helping you see the focus point clearly. - When you are outdoors in bright sunlight, the system may clip HDR content in the editor. In this case, the app automatically falls back to SDR mode. - Upgrading from the previous version of the app will not reset the hidden status of the filters anymore. - In the photo frame, when you use the Filter Name field for your custom frame and the filter you use is your custom filter, only the filter name you customized before will be shown. - Added the Reddit entrance in the about page. You can send feedback, discuss with others, or post your photos captured by PhotonCam in this subreddit. - Added a new Lock Screen Widget to launch the app without switching camera lenses. This is helpful if you just want to go back to the app from the background. - Fixed an issue where dragging and dropping the same image file a second time to the app won’t open the editor. - Slightly increased the launch speed. - Photos captured by the camera will be processed in queue, with a little indicator showing the processing count. - Other bug fixes.

Thanks for using PhotonCam. This version: - Supported SLR flip. You can enable this via the top-right auxiliary settings in the camera view. Photos captured in this mode will be flipped horizontally and vertically, and will be useful when attaching some external camera lens. - Added a new A3 filter, featuring a vintage look with some color-gradings, vignettes and grain effect. - Addressed an exposure issue on iPhone 17 series. - Other bug fixes and improvements.

Thanks for using PhotonCam. This build brings some new features: - The noise/grain feature is completely revamped, supporting dynamic grain effect as well as letting you adjust the grain size and choose to use Colored Grain. - Introducing the new Halation effect, joining the revamped grain effect to create a film-look. - Added a new font and a new color to the date stamp. - Add a new toggle to post the black & white effect, so that the photo will stay monochromatic no matter how you edit your photo. - When you connect your iPhone to the external display via screen cast, it will show the camera preview as well as the histogram in the external display, making it an external monitor. - In the low-light condition, it will automatically use the quality-first fusion prioritization to improve low-light quality. If you turn on the “Disable Fusion to de-sharpen”, this won’t work. - For sliders, now you can tap the track to set the value to that position. Note: as always, you can tap the number to the left of the slider to reset the value. - When you enter the editor, your last used panel (Filters/Adjustments/Frame/HDR) will be automatically selected, helping you tweak the same editing across different photos quickly. - Addressed some UI bugs introduced in iOS 26.1. - Other general improvements and bug fixes.

Introducing Liquid Glass in PhotonCam. This version refreshed some looks in the app, matching the iOS 26, iPadOS 26 design. For iPhone 17 series: - Now when you use the front camera, you can tap the button to toggle between 4x3 and 3x4 aspect ratio, letting you do a landscape portrait without rotating your phone. - When using dedicated telephoto camera (by tapping the 4x), you can now tap the same button to switch to 8x zoom. - When using dedicated ultra wide camera (by tapping the 0.5x), you can now tap the same button to switch to macro mode (2x of ultra wide). This feature is also available for all models that support Macro mode (iPhone 13 Pro and later). - When fusion camera is enabled (via Settings → Camera Lens), when using interactive zoom to zoom the main wide camera, you can go up to 8x and telephoto will be switched to automatically. Also, there are some other improvements: - Now if the camera has smudge, the app will show a hint about it, and as always, keeping your lens clean is the best way to improve the photo quality ;) - Added a new K0 filter. - When microphone is enabled, the haptic feedback will also work. - Added 2 new color schemes for custom Frame, matching the Orange and Deep Blue color of the new iPhone 17 Pro. - Other bug fixes.
