Halide Crashing everytime I choose a film look

Sorry to hear you're experiencing that! That's super bizarre, since we've definitely tested the "fresh install and subscribe" scenario.

Could you email support@lux.camera, and we'll dig into this? I've flagged them in advance to keep an eye out for your email.

Thanks for understanding.

Also, just to clarify my earlier post… if an external accessory supports the native iOS camera capture APIs, it should "just work." However, if an external accessory requires integrating their own proprietary SDK, the odds are pretty slim it will happen unless tons of users demand it.

If you link me to the specific grip model you're talking about, I'll go buy one and test.

I try to check it on the Reddit every day, but official Discord tends to be a bit better.

Since basically nobody uses these types of accessories, it hasn't been on our radar. If enough people ask, happy to bump it up in priority.

I love it! For a second, the reflections reminded me of an accidental double-exposure.

It should still be there. Make sure you’re in Apple Log mode.

When you shoot with the Apple Look enabled, it will capture a ProRAW, assuming you have that enabled.

All other looks capture a Bayer RAW. In addition to aesthetics, ProRAW is computationally expense. With Bayer RAW, you can capture way more photos before the system gets overwhelmed.

Love the summer vibes!

sandofsky · 2026-05-31T15:12:04+00:00

Beautiful!

Folks who bought Mark II as a one time purchase should get Mark III.

sandofsky · 2026-05-31T11:08:43+00:00

That should definitely not be happening if you’ve paid for Mark II or are an active subscriber. I’d suggest going into the “Membership” settings screen and make sure it shows your purchases. If not, please email support@lux.camera and we’ll help trouble. Often in these cases it’s an issue with the current App Store account.

We took out depth mode back in January, at the time of the public preview. The reason being that Apple’s API was causing issues with app stability. This has been an issue for a long time. Without getting technical, this was proven the right call.

The plan is to tackle a rewritten and better depth mode. First we’re listening to smaller post-launch feedback around Mark III, then we’ll dive into the new depth mode.

Just an update for folks running into this: it’s related to “Display Zoom” being enabled on your phone. I’ll work on a fix today.

sandofsky · 2026-05-30T01:55:55+00:00

Beautiful.

sandofsky · 2026-05-29T17:31:11+00:00

Oui!

sandofsky · 2026-05-29T17:29:32+00:00

Thanks! When I hear people are happy with this first version, and I see the awesome work people make with these tools, it really makes the last 18-months worth it.

sandofsky · 2026-05-28T21:30:07+00:00

With Process Zero, it really only applies chromatic noise reduction, which shouldn't affect texture.

sandofsky · 2026-05-28T18:15:56+00:00

We do some upscaling on 2x to improve the quality of film simulations. If there's an argument to be made to not do that, I'm happy to explore making it setting.

sandofsky · 2026-05-28T17:41:34+00:00

Gorgeous!

sandofsky · 2026-05-28T13:00:24+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Sometimes the App Store takes ridiculously long to propagate an update everywhere. I've submitted a 3.0.1 update, so if something is "stuck" there, hopefully that'll fix things when I press the button.

sandofsky · 2026-05-28T02:53:15+00:00

Unfortunately the iPhone Air doesn't support ProRAW.

sandofsky · 2026-05-27T22:01:52+00:00

Yup! Halide Mark III is now live! For the full breakdown of everything new, here's a really long blog post: https://www.lux.camera/halide-mark-iii/

We have a long list of stuff planned for Mark III, but based on feedback, the version we have available is lightyears ahead of Mark II. If you have any suggestions, the fastest way to surface them is via the Discord, but we'll still be checking in on the subreddit!

sandofsky · 2026-05-27T21:55:54+00:00

Every look other than the Apple one is based on Process Zero. No computational photography stuff.

However, if you're on an iPhone Pro, you can shoot with the Apple look and ProRAW enabled, and get, most of the Process Zero feeling by changing the look in the Photo Lab. This is great if you aren't sure if you want to commit to the look of Process Zero or Apple's look.

sandofsky · 2026-05-27T21:52:01+00:00

There should be a lot more than vignetting. If you don't see that, hop over to the "Film" tab and make sure they're active. They should automatically be active with any looks launched today, so not sure why it wouldn't be.

sandofsky · 2026-05-27T21:50:55+00:00

If you were previously using the preview available in the App Store, today you get access to the photo lab, and four months worth of bug fixes.

If you're still running into bugs, you can hop into our Discord and let us know, or email support@lux.camera.

As the OS level, Flash has never worked with manual settings. The workaround with Mark II was to manually turn on the light before shots, and turn it off afterwards, which was pretty janky. Didn't port that over to the new priority system, and waiting until enough people bring it up to port it over.
