- We have significantly enhanced the quality and user features of the Gain Maps used in AcuiCam Pro. Similar to Apple, AcuiCam Pro utilizes the ISO 21496-1 Gain Map Standard, which Apple refers to as an Adaptive Gain Map. However, AcuiCam Pro also implements its own proprietary Gain Map technology called SBS GM3. By blending the Adaptive Gain Map with SBS GM3 using our new Base Light slider, we deliver a unique solution that amplifies bright light sources like sunlight and other lighting elements, enhancing the dynamic range in highlight areas while providing superior image quality with enhanced detail definition throughout the entire image. Additionally, this technology adds Extended Dynamic Range to both the camera Viewfinder and images that don’t already contain a Gain Map. It supports STD, ProRAW, and EXT RAW formats, with the final blended Gain Map saved in the ISO 21496-1 Standard. Further, the HDR10 and Dolby Vision Still Image Videos has got a more balanced dynamic range. Moreover, we have added Tone Mapping in the Viewfinder and in the Workshop to make the images look correct without burning out the highlights. - Finally, we have resolved multiple bugs and implemented various general improvements.

AcuiCam Pro is now free for everyone!  If you enjoy the app, please support us with a donation. Thank you for using our app. +++ AcuiCam Pro 1.7 is a major update with new unique features and great improvements. - UPDATED 1.7.2 All newly captured images will utilize ISO Gain Maps, regardless of the device in use. Existing images can also be re-saved to take advantage of the benefits provided by ISO Gain Maps. - The unique RealVision process with Gain Maps to deliver EDR (Extended Dynamic Range) has been redesigned from the ground up to deliver the highest image quality possible in the Viewfinder, Preview (in iOS 18.1 or later only), and auto-saved HEIC image. Further, RealVision will automatically add Gain Maps (Extended Dynamic Range) to older images or images from other apps or external cameras without Gain Maps. - We have developed a smart Event Album system where you can create a specific Album e.g., family gatherings, birthdays, travels, etc., and shoot your images directly to this Album. This feature helps you keep all relevant photos from a specific event in one place, making it easier to find them within this app and the Photos app for further editing and/or sharing. You can create, rename and select to save to Album(s) in the Viewfinder and the Workshop, and select which Album(s) to view in Image Selector. - The Info-boxes in the app have been updated. They make it super easy to find information about the different features and how to use them when you need it. - The Workshop editor in AcuiCam Pro now works with all RAW files supported by iOS not just DNG files. - When you shoot a new image or save an image from the Workshop it is saved as an HEIC image by default. In the Workshop you can change that to JPG, PNG or one of the MP4 Still Image Movies. Note: PNG does not support Gain Maps. - EV adjustment in the Viewfinder is no longer turned on by default. You can activate it in Settings when you need it. - Maximum Brightness in Settings and Texture in Workshop have been removed because they are not needed anymore. - Finally, we have performed a lot of general improvements and bug fixes.

- The RealVision & RealVision + Polarise Presets in Capture have been adjusted to deliver a more natural light balance in your images. - AcuiCam Pro now requires iOS 16 or later to run. This is to ensure the advanced tools in the app work optimally. - We have fixed a bug that resulted in an incorrect color space in JPG images saved from 48 MP ProRAW and in JPG and PNG images saved from 48 MP STD. Everything is now saved in the correct P3 color space. - The RealVision process with Gain Maps (RealVision-EDR) that delivers Extended Dynamic Range to your images has been improved for a balanced and natural result of bright- and diffused light with EDR-capable displays such as Apple XDR displays. Further, we have added a great new feature so you can save and use your RealVision-EDR images on your website and Instagram. You just need to save your processed image as an MP4 EDR Still Image Video in HDR10 for the Web and Dolby Vision for Instagram. - We have added another new feature we are sure you will appreciate. Now you can set the compression quality of your HEIC and JPG images plus your HDR10 and Dolby Vision MP4 files (EDR Still Image Videos) in the Save dialog in the built-in Workshop editor. - The Sun tool has been improved to deliver a more natural result. - Finally, we have made general bug fixes and improvements.

RealVision has entered the League of Light. - RealVision now uses Gain Maps to deliver EDR (Extended Dynamic Range) in its presets and Workshop editor. This feature works with STD, ProRAW and EXT (external RAW) images. The Gain Map (luminance map) amplifies the bright light from the sun and other light sources on an EDR-capable display to enhance the dynamic range of the highlight areas. EDR-capable displays mean: SDR / HDR displays with a minimum of 500 nits; for optimal results, use HDR / XDR displays with 1000 to 2000 nits of light. - AcuiCam Pro is the only app that allows you to adjust the Bright- and Diffused Light using the built-in Workshop editor to achieve a balanced and natural result on EDR-capable displays. You can save the result as HEIC (iOS 17 only) or JPG images by using the Modify Existing or Save option in the Workshop editor. Bright Light Adjust the image brightness level of the highlight areas to enhance the dynamic range. Diffused Light Adjust the amount of diffused light in the scene to match the highlight areas. Non-EDR-capable displays and prints will show RealVision processed images without the Gain Map effect. - Note: Preview does not have EDR turned on by default. But you can go to iOS Settings, scroll down to AcuiCam Pro, tap on the app icon and turn on “Use EDR Preview”. Beware: This is an Experimental feature at the moment. - When using the “Compare” button in Workshop to compare the processed image with the default Apple image. The default Apple image was displayed in the wrong size when the image was shot with a 2x lens in 48 MP. This bug has now been fixed. - Several general improvements and bug fixes. - AcuiCam Pro now requires iOS 15 or later to run, and is optimised for iOS 17.

RealVision has been enhanced to process more quickly, and the visual differences between STD and ProRAW have been further minimized.

- We have developed a new version of RealVision to improve the image quality - close to reality. - We have even taken it one step further by adding the possibility to shoot with 1x and 2x focal lengths in 48 MP format in STD and ProRAW on the iPhone 14 Pro series. It needs to be seen. - When making these improvements, we thought we could just as well optimise the RealVision presets and add a new one called Low Light. That means you now have 5 presets to choose from on all supported iPhones starting with iPhone XS and all later. - Further, the Viewfinder image has been optimised to look closer to the processed image. - The ND tool has got a new icon, and Clarity has been renamed Texture. - Finally, we have made several bug fixes, optimisations and performance improvements. - We hope you will enjoy this new powerful version 1.5 of AcuiCam Pro.

- AcuiCam Pro has got full support for iPhone 14 & 14 Pro. - We have added a Lock Screen Widget where you can set AcuiCam Pro to open directly from the Lock Screen. - We have made a fast Format selector on the Capture screen where you can choose between 12 MP STD & ProRAW or 48 MP STD & ProRAW. 12 MP STD & ProRAW saves a 12 MP Master plus a 12 MP RealVision processed image. 48 MP STD & ProRAW saves a 48 MP Master plus a 24 MP RealVision processed image. We have chosen to work with 24 MP on iPhone 14 Pro because it’s a more convenient image size to handle than 48 MP, and it uses less storage space. But also because this format size delivers high-quality images on all screens from iPhone to a 4K TV or even a 5K Mac screen. 48 MP files are only needed for large prints or large screen projections. Otherwise, you will not be able to see the difference. If you need this, you can export the 48 MP Master files and edit them in an external editor. - Further, we have made a fast Format selector on the Capture screen where you can choose between 12 MP STD & ProRAW formats for iPhone 12 Pro & 13 Pro, which saves a 12 MP Master plus a 12 MP RealVision processed image. - The RealVision presets have been improved for better results. - The 4x lens in The Fixed Focal Lens selector has been removed to maintain better quality, though you can still Zoom 5x. - The EV adjustment numbers have been moved to be a part of the Metering / Exposure button. - The Aspect selector in Settings and Workshop has got the 16:9 aspect replaced with 5:4 instead. - The Macro icon has been moved to the top of the screen, and the Macro feature has been optimised. - General improvements and bug fixes.

- We have fine-tuned RealVision for both STD (Standard) and ProRAW mode, so you can enjoy shooting stunning images of the best quality you can get with an iPhone. - Further, we have made some minor bug fixes and general optimising. - Finally, we are working on the next version with support for the new features in iPhone 14 & 14 Pro.

We have improved the contrast in RealVision for even better realism.

- We have solved the problem with unacceptable halos, which often occur along edges in objects, e.g. houses, in ProRAW files due to Apple’s heavy processing. - We have further improved the Acuihance image process. And changed its name to RealView to reflect what it really does: Making your images closer to resembling the reality you experienced when you shot them. - At the same time, we have optimised the Detail tool and changed its name to Clarity. - Further, the Exposure tool in the Workshop editor has been fine-tuned for better quality. - Finally, we have done some minor bug fixes.

- We have found and crushed a nasty bug in ProRAW Capture that prevented ProRAW files from being saved. - AcuiCam Pro has got a great new feature called Straight Horizon. You can turn it on and off in Settings. It automatically gives you a straight horizon when you hold your iPhone within +/- 10 degrees from being in level. - We have added the possibility for Faster Shooting in STD mode. You can turn it on and off in Settings when you need it. - The Preset Selector in Capture has got a new set of button icons that make it easier to recognise their function and an updated description in the info-box. - We have designed a new Image Selector that makes it super easy to select images for sharing, export and for opening in the Workshop for further editing. - The info-box for Preview and Image Selector has also been redesigned to make it easy to see what the different features are doing and how to use them. - Finally, we have made some general improvements and bug fixes.

- We have added a new preset to the Acuihance Pro selector in the Viewfinder. It's called Acuihance Pro+LED. It makes your images look real when shooting indoors in LED light. The B&W preset has been improved and moved to Settings, where you can turn it on and off. That means B&W now works combined with the 4 presets in the Acuihance Pro selector. - A new ND tool (Neutral Density) has been added to the Workshop editor. It imitates a physical ND filter that can reduce the brightness in an overexposed image. It's also a part of the Acuihance Pro+LED preset and can be used to fine-tune this. - Further, we have added the ability to shoot Macro images - well, it has actually been there all the time. But we have improved it and given it a flower icon that turns on in the Viewfinder when you reach the closest useable focus distance. Macro works with iPhone 11 series and all later models. - Finally, we have made some general improvements and bug fixes.

- We have added a new preset to the Acuihance Pro selector in the Viewfinder. It's called Color+Overcast. It makes your images look real on days when the sky is overcast. - Detail enhancement has been added to the automatic Acuihance Pro processing when shooting in ProRAW for maximum quality. - Further, we have added a new tap in Settings where you can turn ProRAW on and off - Set the quality of the ProRAW file and turn off the Detail enhance for faster processing if needed. - Finally, we have improved the Temp and Tint tools and made some bug fixes.

- We have designed a new version of the Acuihance process that simply delivers the best photo quality possible with an iPhone. We call it Acuihance Pro*, and it even works automatically. - That means you just need to point and shoot to get high-quality images right away. Or you can go a step further and fine-tune your images in the Workshop editor for perfection. This makes AcuiCam Pro the right choice for everyone - amateurs and professionals alike. - *Acuihance Pro produces quality images much closer to resembling the reality you experienced when you shot them. - Further, we have added a new Acuihance Pro selector in the Viewfinder. Here you can choose between 3 presets: Color, Color+Polarise and B&W. - Moreover, we have improved the Polarise and Detail tools and added Soft Focus - a new tool perfect for beautiful portraits and more. Learn more about AcuiCam Pro on our website. - Finally, we have made a number of general improvements.
