Description

Obscura 4 is a camera app packed full of features to help you take incredible photos. Obscura pairs a stunning design with intuitive controls that make taking photos a delight.


Over its 8 years on the App Store, Obscura has been much numerous times around the world, including as Editors’ Choice and App of the Day.


Design

Obscura squeezes a bunch of powerful features into simple controls anyone can master. The interface balances aesthetics, ergonomics, and intuitiveness. You won’t want to use anything else. Controls can be reached with one thumb, and gestures and haptics combine to create a tactile experience that lets you stay focused on your subject.


Capture Modes & Formats

Obscura captures photos, videos, Live Photos, and portraits. Photos can captured in RAW, ProRAW, HEIC, and JPEG (on supported devices, see http://obscura.camera/compatibility).

Capture images in multiple different aspect ratios, or filters live in camera for a wide variety of styles.


Camera Settings
Obscura gives you control over exposure, focus, white balance, ISO, shutter speed, and flash, with intuitive controls that make you feel in control of your device’s camera.


View Options

Obscura lets you display a grid, a spirit level, a histogram, focus peaking, a focus loupe, and exposure clipping highlights to help you understand every detail of what you’re shooting.


Photo Library

Obscura has its own interface for browsing, rating, editing, and sharing images, but it’s fully integrated with your system photo library, so images captured with Obscura are available everywhere.


Obscura Ultra

Obscura is free to use, with an annual subscription for premium features. See http://obscura.camera/ultra for full details.


I hope you love using Obscura as much as I’ve loved designing and building it. If you do, please consider subscribing to Ultra, leaving a review, or just sharing with a friend.

All the best,
Ben

Fantastica e… incompleta

Premetto che le app di fotografia le ho provate quasi tutte, Obscura 3 ha probabilmente la migliore interfaccia durante lo scatto. Non intrusiva, ovvero poco visibile mentre si inquadra il soggetto, ma anche facile da svelare quando bisogna cambiare un’impostazione. Altre app nel tentativo di nascondere l’interfaccia diventano poi criptiche de si vuole anche solo modificare l’esposizione.
E fin qui, quindi, soldi ben spesi.
Dopo lo scatto però ci sono solo dei filtri, belli ma pochi, semplici e non customizzabili, e nessun controllo su esposizione, luce, contrasto, ecc. e non dico cose esoteriche, eh?, tipo la correzione prospettiva, ma solo i fondamentali per regolare un minimo lo scatto.
Credo che per quello che costa sarebbe bello se gli sviluppatori aggiungessero andhe questo set di funzioni alla app, per non farla sembrare incompleta.
Ci sono certamente app che offrono meno di Obscura 3, ma tanto per cominciare non costano 10€ ed effettivamente non parlano di editing delle foto se offrono solo una manciata di filtri.
Comunque, per riconoscere il lavoro svolto, ho tolto solo una stella perché la app merita davvero, ma spero che qualcuno sia già al lavoro per completare questo aspetto carente della app.

Male, male

Scaricata e cancellata subito, per usare i formato ProRaw si deve fare l’abbonamento? Dovrebbe esser fisso e gratuito per tutti.
