Yes, a plenty third-party apps exist, but they don’t really move the needle either—they just bolt on manual controls and call it a day. !Camera, the app from indie studio Not Boring, is the rare one that actually changes what a photograph looks like before you press the shutter.Cinema-grade colour, baked in at the shutter !Camera is the first iPhone camera app to use 3D LUTs—the colour grading tool film colourists and Fujifilm, Lumix shooters lean on to land a finished look. You pick a Style before pressing the shutter, not after. The image saves graded and ready to share. Its SuperRaw format keeps the natural grain that other apps smooth into oblivion.Why iPhone photos always have a tellOver-sharpened skin, plasticky skies, shadows pushed up till there are none.
