• Improved memory management on smaller iOS devices with 4 GB of memory. Larger phones were unaffected. • Enabled real-time filters in the camera. • Improved multi-lens zoom and camera switching. A brief pause and an on-screen notice allow exposure to synchronize before the image switches, helping protect frame blending and long-exposure shots when changing cameras during a recording. This small delay is normal while the camera engine synchronizes exposure. • Removed in-camera tap-to-zoom to prevent accidental zoom changes from disrupting timelapses or light painting. Use pinch zoom or the zoom controls instead.

NEW REAL-TIME FILTERS Paint behind yourself while keeping your face visible with new real-time 2D and 3D filters. Remove backgrounds, blur backgrounds, and explore more creative effects. BUG FIXES A final round of bug fixes and refinements before we pause regular iOS updates. WHAT'S NEXT FOR LIGHT PAINT This is our last planned iOS update for a while. App Store downloads and interest have remained too low to sustain continued development at the current pace. For now, we're shifting our focus to Android and its larger creator market, where we hope Light Paint finds the traction and recognition we believe it deserves. We'll revisit iOS updates if downloads and interest pick up. Thank you to everyone who has created with and supported Light Paint.

Bug fixes and improvements from initial 2.0 launch.

More control over every light trail. • iOS 27 support. • Aperture controls for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. • Camera Control button integration for supported iPhones. • Fixes to video editor project disk space usage. • Additional fixes and refinements across the app.

More control over your camera. More freedom to create. • Simpler camera selection: choose Back or Front. Prefer individual lenses? Turn on Separate Lenses in the main Settings. • Improved zoom controls and camera switching, with better handling of exposure, white balance, and rotation. Timed Zoom adds adjustable duration and easing. • Set up your shot with a clear preview. Effects starts off; turn it on to preview your look before recording. Recording still uses your configured effects. • Add light trails after filming with the video editor's new Blender (Pro). Editor improvements also include stabilization, compound clips, framing and color keyframes, and synchronized song lyrics. • Optional Raw Video (Pro) saves a separate effect-free video alongside your processed take, giving you more freedom to edit later. • Improved Studio scenes, tutorials, camera moves, stage lighting, and timeline controls. Preview scenes before opening them. • Improved motion capture, take editing, and reusable moves, with easier access from the Studio library. • Perform to a Track synchronizes music with your take. Blend Choreography lets Frame Blending, Comet, Glow, and timed zoom follow the song. • Fewer upgrade interruptions and more free creative tools. Motion capture, Studio backgrounds, and Studio video export with a watermark are now free. Pro remains available when you want more. • Fixes and refinements for gallery navigation, music playback, community downloads, external displays, storage, and camera performance. Thank you for creating with Light Paint and supporting its development.

Light Paint 2.0.3 is packed with new ways to create: • Light Painting Studio: plan on a 3D stage with performers, tools, viewpoints, and scenes; film the result, use your own location, capture motion, generate performances from songs, and share scenes and takes. • External display: send Camera, Gallery, and Studio to a monitor or projector over HDMI or AirPlay, with monitor guides and the option to keep audio on the phone. • External storage: record to a USB drive or Files folder, keep video projects on the drive, and review what Light Paint stores on your iPhone (Pro). • Share sheet: send photos and videos from any app into your Light Paint media library. • Video editor: add image layers from Photos or Files, import LUTs, choose export covers and options, change clip speed, and mark moments. • Camera: Auto Tune exposure from the light sensor, Photo mode, Frame Blender erasers and comet trails, plus volume-button shutter control. • Apple Watch: browse music and favorites, and drive motion capture from your wrist. • Also new: import media from Photos or Files, QR sharing, a reorganized drawer, and fixes throughout. External display use at paid events requires a Production subscription. See the Terms of Service.
