- Edit Mode is here — the darkroom in your camera (Elite). Every blaX photo now carries its own negative. Re-open any shot on the exact look you took it with, re-develop it from RAW in full quality, and change the look, the frame, the ratio — as if you were still behind the viewfinder. And the saved edit? Still re-editable. Forever.
- You've been upgraded. If you own Pro, you now own Elite — the new top tier, with Edit Mode today and every upcoming stack mode included. Free, no strings. Thank you for being with us from the start.
- Presets became modular. Save, apply and share by scope: the whole preset — or just the look, just the border, just the shape. The border from one preset, the look from another: now that's one tap each.
- Every mode comes stocked. Capture keeps ready-made shapes and borders one tap away — square, circle, gallery mats, a torn deckle edge. Develop and Edit hold ten curated looks, from Classic to Monolith. Tap, judge, keep — and save your own into any slot.
- Glide between display modes. A new handle above the shutter is home base: grab it, slide, and the whole workspace follows your finger — Capture, Develop, Edit. It dims to a whisper when you're shooting and wakes the moment you reach for it.
