Adobe launches his own tech on how this week smartphone cameras should work with a new iPhone camera app project Indigo from some of the teams behind the pixel camera. The project links computational photography techniques that engineers Mark Levy and Florine Cannes have popularized in Google, which have pro -controls and new AI -powered properties.
In them Announcement Of the new app, the Levy and the Cannes Style Project Indo -Limited Controls and more processing smartphone camera as a better response to complaints. Instead of aggressive tone mapping and accelerating, the project is considered to be used to use “just light head maping, promote color saturation and accelerate.” This is not deliberately the same as the third party of the “zero processing” approach is taking apps. Levy and Cannes write, “Based on our conversation with photographers, what they really want is not a zero process but a more natural look-such as can produce SLR.”
The new app also has complete manual control, “and the highest image quality that can provide computational photography,” whether you want JPEG or eventually a raw file. The Project Indigo has achieved that by dramatically reducing the shots, it relies on a large number of shots to combine together, and to collect up to 32 frames. The app also includes some Adobe’s experimental image features, such as “Remove Reflections”, which uses AI to eliminate reflection from images.
Levy left Google in 2020, and joined Adobe a few months later to form a team with the Express Express to create a “Universal Camera App”. Based on Linked for itCannes joined Adobe this year. In Google, Cannes and Levy were often supported to popularize the concept of computer photography, where camera apps relies more on software than hardware to produce standard smartphone images. Google’s success in this field started the camera arms race, which increased the bar everywhere, but also made some pictures above. The project Indigo is a bit corrected, and it is also an interesting test whether the third party app that can produce better images is enough to defeat the default.
The project Indigo is now available for downloading for free, and runs on the iPhone 12 Pro and more, or the iPhone 14 and more. The Android version of the app is coming at some point in the future.
