The first Latent films. Until today, every film in The Moment carried a name that came before us. Now The Moment carries its own. Latent cinema negative 01 and Latent still negative 01 are the first films made by Latent, from the first line to the last: their colour, their grain, the way they hold the light, and the way they answer when you push them or pull them. The cinema negative is dust, gold and open light, quiet tones under pale high skies, dry olive greens and honest skin. The still negative is golden skin and deep, quiet reds, creamy whites, olive greens and pale skies. They are the beginning of something we have been working toward for a long time. You will find them on the shelf, under Latent. A camera of glass. The camera is a single glass now, every control its own piece of it, with nothing across your photograph, which reaches to the top of the phone. The film's plate folds away just above the release and opens when you want it. Held sideways, it is a camera of its own, with one rail under your thumb, and Camera Control moves between film, exposure and lens. What you saw is what you shot. The film you choose is on the glass a moment after you choose it, and the photograph opens in the darkroom as you saw it there. Change film or lens and press at once: the photograph is made in the film on the glass. Your frame. Beside the counter, choose 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, XPan or the phone's own shape. Photographs and takes open in it, and the whole negative is kept. Colour, the way a print holds it. Light › Colour has three new controls. Richness gives colour its fullness, deep where it is strong and soft where it meets the light. Pop brings the quiet colours forward and lends the whole picture a little snap. Density lets colour sit deeper and darker, with the weight of a print in the hand. Greys stay grey, whites stay white, and nothing turns loud. Two exposures, seen whole. Half Frame and Double Exposure show the finished frame on the glass, turning as you turn the camera, and are made at the photograph's full size. Presets that carry what you choose. When you save a preset, choose what it carries: its film, its paper, its finish, and its white balance when you say so. Lay it on one photograph, or on a whole selection in your library at once. Verita 200D and Film Contrast. A new film joins the shelf, and Film Contrast develops a negative longer for more contrast, or shorter for less. A softer black from the Noritsu. A Noritsu scan's deepest shadows now fade into a soft black instead of falling to pure black. A photograph you developed before stays as you made it. Nikon High Efficiency. Photographs from the Nikon Z 8, Z 9, Z f, Z6III, Z 5 II, Z 50 II and ZR, shot in High Efficiency or High Efficiency*, are now developed by the Latent engine, as every other raw is. Refinements. This update makes The Moment more mature, more fluid and more dependable throughout. Film and paper names are trademarks of their respective owners, used only to describe the look each one inspired. Latent is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Fixed - Fixed an issue where choosing a film for a JPEG or HEIC photograph changed nothing. A film now develops it as it develops a RAW, with its own paper, and Reset returns it as the camera made it. - Fixed an issue where a JPEG or HEIC photograph kept saying "developing" in Print, and saved without its film. - Fixed an issue where a letter arriving in an open conversation made it jump. It now takes its place at once. We keep refining The Moment, more mature and more dependable with every update. Thank you for developing with us.

Letters Writing between people now has a place of its own. Each person you write with is one conversation, and every photograph that has passed between you is a chapter in it: the print, the words, the time, unhurried. A letter arrives with its own small sound and the face of the one who wrote it. A conversation can be deleted from its menu, or by holding it in Letters. Public or Private The Field asks you once whether your work is Public or Private. Private means people ask before they follow you. Letters pass between two who follow each other. Change it any time under Your home. The Window A photograph can hang in your window for a while, whole and uncropped, and the people who see it can write on its back. The darkroom, held sideways Turn the phone and the darkroom settles into two hands: the stations under your left thumb, the work under your right, the print between them. Lucky C400 and a new UltraMax 400 Lucky C400 joins the shelf. UltraMax 400 has a new colour. Photographs you have already made keep the colour they were made in, and the film room offers the new one with a touch. One light for every lens Move between 0.5x, 1x and the telephoto and the picture keeps its colour, as a camera loaded with one film does. The light belongs to the scene, never to the lens. Fixed - Fixed an issue where releasing some photographs from a day left the page empty until the day was opened again. - Fixed an issue where the zoom could show the wrong number after moving quickly between lenses. - Fixed an issue where the camera could close while changing lenses. - Fixed an issue where photographs from the 0.5x lens printed with a cast. - Fixed an issue where placing a print while editing sideways cut the sheet off. - Fixed an issue where the shoebox row could not be slid. Bug fixes and improvements The Field opens on what it last showed and moves without a flicker, prints go up even when you leave at once, and every room is lighter on the phone. We keep refining The Moment, more mature and more dependable with every update. Thank you for developing with us.

Two films join the shelf: Phoenix 200, fiery and hard, printed on the softest paper, and CineStill 800T, made for the night and its lights. Every film now carries the faint glow it has as it is made, and under Finish, light leaks and damage fall on the film itself, as they do on a real roll. A photograph that holds bright light keeps it in your takes and in the Field too. What you see in the viewfinder is what the darkroom prints, whatever size you shoot. In the Field, a long press on a print names who made it, and a print developed in a Ritual camera says so. Everything you have already made keeps its look, exactly as it was.

Every look, free to try. Every film, paper and finish now works for everyone. Photos and videos you save with them carry the Latent watermark until you have a plan. Five films are always free, with no watermark. Yours to keep. A new way to own The Moment: pay once and keep it, with every 1.x update. If you subscribed before this update, you are a founding member, with a member price. Circles and Envelopes, for everyone. Anyone can now start a Circle or send an Envelope. The Field, finer. Prints open with one tap and grow from their tile, homes arrive whole, letters stay with their photograph, a print placed from the iPhone names its camera, the Field follows your light or dark theme, and everything in Community moves as one, smoothly. New in the Field: the Window. Hang today's photographs in your window for seven days, and look into the windows of the homes you follow. Hang straight from the camera, take one photograph down on its own, and a letter on the back of your window can knock. One account for every Latent app. Sign in to the Field with Apple or Google. The account you use in The Ritual opens the same home here, on every device.

The Field, rebuilt as a gallery. The community is now a gallery, the same one The Ritual shows on the Mac. – Swipe between its rooms: This Week, Following, the Wall, Places, and a room for each film. – Nothing is ranked. Prints hang to be looked at, not scored. – Open a print and its room is lit by the photograph's own colours. Tap it to see it full screen and pinch in close. – Your home has a threshold print at the door, where you choose what shows. It holds your prints, your books, the prints you've kept and a few words about you. – Make a book from your prints, send letters, and find people to follow. A new darkroom. The editor now starts from the print. Choose the film in its own room and the paper in another, and compare before and after at a touch. What you see is what you develop. The viewfinder now shows the print you will get: the same film under the same light, as bright as you saw it. It learns each of your lenses as you shoot. One darkroom with The Ritual. The Moment now develops with The Ritual's films and papers, so a photograph prints the same on iPhone and Mac. Many films are new. A few older ones, CineStill and the Latent house films among them, can no longer be chosen, but every photograph you made with them keeps its film. Latent Engine 3.1. On iPhones with 8 GB of memory, new photographs develop in Latent's own engine: finer detail, cleaner colour, light that holds. Quicker to the print. Large raw files open at once, zoom and pan smoothly, and a 48 MP photograph exports in about a minute. Takes. Film scratches join dust and flicker, along with many fixes. Your photographs keep exactly the look you gave them.

The Moment keeps growing. This update brings months of quiet care — a steadier, more harmonious app — and new ways to make, keep and share your photographs. LATENT (EXPERIMENTAL) Our own way of making a photograph. One press gathers several frames into a single negative that keeps about two more stops of light in lamps, windows and sky. For members. THE CAMERA • Load a roll of 24 or 36. The frames wait in the camera until you rewind — with the sound and feel of a real rewind. • Open it from the Lock Screen, Control Center or Camera Control, straight onto your film. • 48 MP ProRAW, every time. • Swipe across the viewfinder to change film. MOTION • Takes keep the sound of the room, and print on any paper you choose. • Make a movie: choose takes, put them in order, trim, splice and print it through one printer light. Watch it full screen. • The camcorder is rebuilt. Flip Film · Tape and Video8, VHS-C and Hi8 each record their own picture and sound, sixty fields a second. Every cassette plays on its own deck, and tapes can be dubbed together. • A take cut short by a closed app or a flat battery is kept. A PRINT WITH A BODY Finish is rebuilt from real materials, in four chapters: Film, Paper, Handling and Display. • Real dust, specks and fibres on the negative, from thousands of scanned marks. • Shine: hold the print under a window, a lamp or a raking light. • White borders, rounded corners and a deckle edge. • New frames — Cabinet Card, Carte de Visite, Peel-Apart, Polaroid White, Filed Carrier — and every frame now grows around your whole photograph instead of cropping it. • Life: a wallet print, a shoebox, an album, a wall by the window. • Dates the way cameras and labs really made them: a Quartz databack, embossed, stamped, on a slide mount, or on the back. WORDS ON THE BACK Turn any print over and write on its back. Your words come back to you: on this day, a year ago, and in a diary of your days. PRINTS One Print door for photos, takes, movies and tapes. Keep the back of the print beside it. Prints are named for their film and moment, and carry only the details you'd want. FILMS New photographs develop on refined films and print on the paper itself. Everything you've made before stays exactly as it was. YOUR LIBRARY • Every photograph keeps its own shape. • Keepsakes: prints pinned to the fridge, a shoebox of old ones, slide night. • The Archive: Films, Movies, Cassettes, Books, Words, and your rolls as a table of contents. Filter by kind; reset anything and undo it. • Back Up Library now carries your whole album, free for everyone, and a restore brings it all back. • Settings, redesigned like the album. • A short note in each place the first time you walk in. FRIENDS, NOT FOLLOWERS • Circles are small tables of friends. Hand someone a key; envelopes open like letters. • Notes are letters. People are named, never counted. • Every photographer has a home — hang a print at your door. • Look at any print in its own room, on a darkroom wall, and turn it over to read the notes. • Versos calls are walls you step into, with hosts and catalogues. A NEW WELCOME Five pages that show the real thing. And a faster, calmer app throughout — quicker opening, fewer pauses, better HDR and safer Circle links.
