Filmic Firstlight - Photo App 4+

Subscription? No. Will wait for it to be worth it.

I think I’m time this could be a really great app like filmic pro for video.

At first look the interface is similar to filmic pro...

Right off the bat, accessing anything advanced requires a subscription. The greatest thing about the App Store was that you could pay a one time fee to unlock certain features for apps.

I completely understand to sustain any business that there needs to be a steady revenues stream long term. I do believe there are other ways to do that other than the subscription model. I can also appreciate the fact that your subscription model is pretty inexpensive.

As a user speaking to the manufacturer, I’m not subscribing. Where’s the value? Where is the roadmap outlining what I’m going to get over and above the “advanced” features? You’re basically looking for a way to sustain your business because you did a great thing by charging the one time fee with filmic.

If you want to sustain your revenue stream, integrate a adding LUTs, find a way for photographers to load in their own LUTs, get creative.

Subscription no thanks... there are other apps that do infinitely more that are a one time charge.

Maybe it’s me...

I just assumed the same quality as Filmic Pro, but the images are soft and the images not even close to Halide and Pro Camera! Maybe I’m not using the right settings but outdoors everything is out of focus, once shot, and the camera reacts in a blurry manner before I press the shutter. JPEG is better but DNG is unusable. Dynamic range is weak. Happy to revisit my assessment if someone can help me figure out the problem. I’m using the latest iPhone 11 Pro Max and watched the tutorial twice to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. I purchased the full annual subscription. Thanks.

Hello m Thank you for the review. We should definitely see what we can do about getting you going again quickly. You should be able to dial in a properly exposed and sharp image (or any variation of either as your creativity would desire). Review responses are not the fastest way for us to help though. Please drop us a line at support@filmicpro.com and share your experiences and hopefully a few sample photos so we can see what you're seeing. Thanks!
