Lightbox: Film Scan EXIF
Analog photo log & metadata
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Note your camera, lens and film as you shoot. Lightbox writes it into your scans and saves them to Photos. No re-compression, so no quality loss.
Lightbox writes your shooting notes into your film scans.
Camera, lens, film, date and location go into each file's EXIF and XMP, and the photos are saved to Photos.
