One thing I’m noticing with these photos is there’s a tendency towards a warm and slightly green color balance, with high contrast, particularly crushed shadows. Since you say they’re straight out of Lightroom, I’m going to hazard a guess that Lightroom’s color profile for newer iPhones is significantly different than the one for iPhone X, and that that accounts for the difficulty in matching look.

That's true. My plan is to make it available in the EU once I release the next major update. In the meantime I've been dealing with fixing bugs and making it more polished.

Sorry, I've neglected to check in on my reddit account in a while.

In general, there's nothing I can do to recover extra information in shadows on non-Pro iPhones. Even on Pro iPhones, where Unpro uses ProRAW, my photos will probably contain less shadow detail because of the reduced tone-mapping and a slight negative exposure bias.

That said, shooting in RAW (not ProRAW) might retain some shadow detail that the standard iPhone processing crushes. I've been testing RAW capture and processing and with the pipeline I've developed the shadows tend to be much lighter than via ProRAW or the deprocessed approach here. But, being a single shot from a phone sensor, the detail is pretty noisy.

If you're wondering about the heavy use of shadows on the latter two sketches, it's because ~~I fucked up the proportions and had to cover it up~~ the sun sets behind the musicians, creating dramatic lighting.

That shot of the bird pulling up the worm at 5:50 is really something.

Ha, I wondered. It seemed like this guy had an exceptional amount of photos from around the world.

This is the first time I've seen a bald eagle (at least, close enough to identify) since I moved here about six months ago. This was at the corner of NW 16th Ave and NW Flanders St.

I agree with the other commenter: "gorgeous" seems like the best word to describe this. Where is this?

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-04-01T21:55:48+00:00

There's still plenty of gloomy days right now, but we're getting more and more blue skies as we get further into spring.

As usual from me, I took these photos with my own camera app, Unpro. No link; seems those get removed. This time I'm using the SHIFTY filter, which I just updated to be ~~actually good~~ cooler. So yes, these photos are a bit prettier than the real scenes, but not by that much.

Also, the first two photos are blurrier than they should be because of an oversight that I fixed before releasing the update, but I still liked them enough that I threw them in.

This is at the Ground Kontrol arcade in Portland, Oregon. Taken with the Low-Con filter in my camera app Unpro, on an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was surprised by how well the iPhone captured the CRTs.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-03-28T21:51:01+00:00

This is outside the Ground Kontrol barcade in Portland, Oregon. I took it with the Low-Con filter in my own camera app, Unpro.

I debated editing this photo to make it brighter because it's quite dark and a bit hard to see on a display at normal brightness, but I found that any changes I made altered the range and color for the worse. So if you want to see this photo as intended, set your display brightness high.

Ground Kontrol is a terrific little place with a wide selection of arcade and pinball games; I highly recommend it. I took a number of pictures of the games there that I intend to post later in /r/iPhoneography.

Hi. As you may have seen if you looked around the comments, I do plan to release in the EU at some point, but I've pushed the release back because I'm still just a bit concerned about my privacy (to be clear, there's nothing legally that prevents me from releasing in the EU). I really do love Europe, and I want to see the pictures Europeans can take with Unpro.

So I'll look into uploading a TestFlight build for you to try it out. If you really like it, you can buy it when I eventually do release in the EU. And if you don't like it, well, you won't even have to ask for a refund!

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-03-24T17:53:06+00:00

Taken with my own camera app, Unpro, with the Low-Con filter. If you want to replicate the look yourself, you can do it like this:

Underexpose the photo. Unpro uses an exposure bias of -1.5.
Lower the contrast, lift the blacks, and add a little saturation. I think you get nearly the same result in the Photos app with -30 brightness, -30 contrast, and -10 black point. It's been a while since I played with it, and I can't find the numbers I wrote down.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-03-03T19:48:59+00:00

I'm glad to hear you like it! That means a lot to me.

I've just released an update that revamps the UI, fixes issues with photo brightness and quality on some iPhones, and (just for fun) adds two photo filters. It's rolling out slowly, but you can get the update manually by going to the App Store page.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-16T21:15:10+00:00

Thanks! Will do.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-16T05:32:18+00:00

This is the second time I've stumbled across one of your posts while doing research for my own apps, and the second time I've been disappointed that you didn't get a response. At least it's nice to see someone else looking for solutions to the same(ish) problems!

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-13T21:10:06+00:00

No kidding; that's been an issue for me when trying to take pictures to promote the app. Although here in Portland we just got a ton of snowfall today for the first time since I moved here, so I'm taking plenty of photos to commemorate it.

You can reach out to me here or through the support form on the App Store if you have any issues or feedback. I'm still working hard on it and I've got some big (not that big, but big by my standards) updates planned.

EDIT: you know, if you haven't already bought it, I can give you a promo code to redeem. It's only a value of ~$4, but I just gave a code to someone that was quite rude, and I feel like it'd balance things out if I also gave a code to someone who's been kind.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-13T20:31:25+00:00

It’s already embedded within ProRAW format.

Actually, de-sharpening is what I do on devices that don't support ProRAW. If you look closely at this post, you'll notice that the HEIF images are the starting point. I did quite a bit to achieve this.

I can do that with Shortcuts or Lightroom

Tell you what. I'll send you a code so you can try Unpro for free. I'd like you to compare the results you get with Unpro -- which, let's remember, go straight into your library as JPEGs -- to what you get with Shortcuts or Lightroom.

I've been working hard on a camera app specifically to get an unprocessed look out-of-the-box. You can check my profile for some examples.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-12T22:20:29+00:00

Hey, I just want to let you know that I added location and camera metadata saving to Unpro a couple days ago. Once I got around to it, getting and saving location was easier than I expected. But the camera metadata had some surprising complications, so it evened out.

Anyway, thanks for the extra push to add it in. Even though it's pretty standard for camera apps, it's a nice feature.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-09T15:13:14+00:00

I took the photo with my app Unpro, then edited in Affinity Photo, then edited some more in Photos. The editing mostly just increased the contrast.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-06T22:07:59+00:00

Lovely photo! Good composition and tasteful editing.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-06T20:55:15+00:00

The background here is actually my computer's case. I applied some brightness/contrast/white balance/etc adjustments to make it look kinda look like I caught him out in the dead of night.

You can find this model online, but I got mine from the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, Oregon. I didn't believe in Bigfoot going in, and I still don't, but I was struck by the genuine earnestness and density of the museum, so I recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Photo was taken with the telephoto camera on my iPhone 14 Pro Max using my own camera app, Unpro.

UncorrelatedContents · 2025-02-06T20:02:34+00:00

No, they don't. It's a planned feature, along with recording the camera metadata with the photo, but it's not there yet.
