A huge update for film shooters: new tools, a rebuilt light meter, and 50+ fixes. NEW TOOLS - Depth of Field calculator with a live visual preview - Zone System placement on the light meter - B&W development time adjustment for temperature and push or pull - Test strip timer with precise f-stop print sequences - Chemistry batch tracking with capacity counters and expiry alerts - Film expiry reminders for the stock in your fridge - Contact sheet PDF export from your negative library - Negative gallery export in full resolution A MORE ACCURATE LIGHT METER Rebuilt around absolute metering: the app reads the camera's real exposure data on every frame, so readings track a dedicated reference meter. Spot metering ignores clipped highlights. MORE RELIABLE EVERYWHERE - A development session now survives even if the system closes the app, and the lock screen timer brings you right back - Backup import can no longer wipe existing data if it fails midway - Cloud sync no longer overwrites a newer backup made on another device - The purchase button recovers from temporary store errors - Corrected ND filter values in the reciprocity calculator - Dozens of smaller fixes across timers, notifications, and sharing

Film Development, now rock-solid in the background - Never lose a running develop session again. If you leave the app, lock your phone, or iOS closes the app to save memory, your session is saved and restored exactly where you left off. - Tap the Dynamic Island or the lock screen Live Activity to jump straight back into the active session. - Agitation reminders and the end-of-step alarm keep playing while the app is in the background or your screen is locked, so you can walk away from the tank with confidence. - New: a 5-second heads-up cue before every agitation, giving you time to get ready. Refined for iOS - The bottom tab bar is now sized to match iOS instead of being oversized, giving your content more room.

NEW: Negative Preview Digitize 35mm, 120, and sheet-film negatives with your phone camera. The live preview inverts the negative in real time, so you see the positive image as you frame. Highlights: • Color and black-and-white modes • Capture saves a high-quality source file (Apple ProRAW DNG on supported devices, JPEG fallback elsewhere) plus a thumbnail • Library grid of all your saved captures, with long-press to delete • Editor with sliders for exposure, blacks, whites, contrast, temperature, and tint • Per-channel and master tone curves with control-point editing • Live histogram updates as you edit • Non-destructive: the source file is preserved so you can re-edit later NEW: Inventory Keep track of your equipment in the app. Light Meter: Color Temperature The light meter now shows the scene's color temperature in Kelvin alongside the EV reading. Useful for hybrid digital + film workflows and shooting under mixed lighting. Polish and fixes: • Bellows extension stop accuracy (1/3 vs 1/10) now persists across app launches • Various smaller fixes and polish

Version 1.3.0 Light Meter: The ISO range now spans ISO 1 to 25600 and includes many more standard film-speed values, so you can meter accurately for almost any stock. B&W Development: Development-time entries can now carry notes. New Films: Zebra Dry Plate has been added to the B&W development chart, in both Negative and Positive, each with full process notes. We have also made a range of smaller refinements and fixes across the app. Thank you for shooting film with us.

Improvements • Tap anywhere outside a text field to close the keyboard.

Fixes • Backups exported from this version can now be re-imported in the same version. • Images attached to holders and sheets are no longer deleted prematurely if you back out of the form your original photo is kept until you tap Save. • Importing a .vintiso process file is now atomic: a malformed step won't leave a half-finished custom process behind. • Rate the App reliably lands you on the App Store listing. • Send Email on the Support screen tells you when no mail app is configured instead of silently doing nothing.
