Chobial — Film Camera & Editor

RAW Camera & Film Photo Editor

Free · In‑App Purchases

Chobial is a pro camera and a photo editor in one app. Shoot with manual controls and live film looks, then change anything later in the editor. SHOOT NOW (The Camera) • Live preview of film looks in the viewfinder. Quick swipe to change the film. • 46 built-in films: 35 color and 11 black and white, from slide films and warm negatives to tungsten cinema stocks and instant films. • Shoot ProRAW and RAW if your device supports them. HEIF or JPEG as fallback or if you want Apple's processing. • Manual controls. Simplified exposure controls - no need to pick a mode. Set the values you want to set, keep the rest on Auto. • Touch and hold to lock focus and exposure. Manual focus has a loupe and focus peaking. Subject tracking for people and pets. • Histogram, zebras, grid and level. White balance by preset, Kelvin or gray card. • Frame lines from 1:1 to 65:24. The whole picture from the sensor is always saved, so you can crop later. EDIT LATER (The Editor) • The camera keeps the original and applies non-destructive edits on top. Pick another film and Chobial develops the photo again with other edits staying as they were. • Film, Light and Color tools: grain, halation, bloom, highlights, shadows, tone curve, an 8-color mixer and color grading. • Masks find the subject, sky, background, people and faces on the device. Paint, draw a gradient, or select by color or brightness. • Heal and clone remove dust, blemishes and wires. • Describe Edits: type or say "warmer, and a bit brighter". Chobial turns your prompts into ordinary value changes which you can edit manually later. Runs on Apple Intelligence on the device, nothing is sent out. • Copy and paste edits onto many photos, or develop a whole roll in another film. • Import RAW, ProRAW, HEIF and JPEG from your iPhone or iPad, or from a camera or card reader over USB. Chobial reads RAW from most cameras, like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm and Leica. • iCloud syncs photos, edits and films between your iPhone and iPad. MAKE YOUR OWN FILMS • Build a film from curves, a color mixer, split toning and grain modeled on real film stocks. • Or save the edits from one photo as a film. Start from a .cube LUT or a Lightroom preset, and export your film as a .cube LUT or a Lightroom preset. • Your films appear in the camera, so you shoot through a film you made. • Share a film as a QR code, a link or a file. BIGGER SCREENS Works on iPad and iPhone Duo, take advantage of larger screen estate to take better control of the editing process. SHOOT FROM ANYWHERE Camera Control, volume buttons, a timer, the Lock Screen, Control Center, Siri and an Apple Watch remote. SAVE AND SHARE Full-size JPEG or HEIC, or the original DNG. Each photo prints out of a small printer as it saves, in its frame. Frames, captions, collages and reels of your edits for Instagram and TikTok. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING No need to sign up or log in. We don't track any of your activities. Your photos sync in iCloud. FREE AND PRO The free version has no time limit and no watermark. Shooting, editing, Describe Edits, importing, and making and sharing films are free. Photos save free in 22 of the 46 films. Masks, heal and clone are free to try, and saving a photo that uses them needs Pro. Pro saves in the other 24 films, and saves photos that use masks, heal and clone. It adds the DNG, batch saving, auto-save, more collage layouts, reels, .cube and Lightroom preset export, and your own caption logo. Chobial Pro is a one-time purchase, or a yearly subscription with a one-week free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your Apple Account settings.

This release mostly contains bug fixes and some minor improvements. • "No Film" is now an option in the film choice, it removes any film colors and effects. It tries to replicate on device look. • Fixed color clipping when adjusting vibrance values. • Fixed some film rendering where it was blotching bright and vibrant colors. • The caption you type stays with the photo, even with the frame off. It's also saved in the file's details. • Color Mixer and other editor panels are no longer cut off on iPhone Duo cover screen. • When saving photos, we now have an animation that shows the exported photos coming out of a printer.
