Adobe Enhances iPhone Photos & TCL Upgrades Atmos Flexibility
▼ Summary
– Adobe’s Project Indigo, developed by former Google Pixel camera experts Marc Levoy and Florian Kainz, is a new computational photography app for iPhones.
– The app, free and account-free, combines up to 32 frames for better dynamic range and low noise, mimicking professional SLR-like results.
– Project Indigo includes manual controls (shutter speed, ISO) and supports RAW/JPEG capture, but has a shutter delay due to frame processing.
– Adobe aims to integrate the app into its ecosystem, potentially replacing native smartphone cameras, with future plans for Portrait mode, Android support, and video recording.
– Wyze introduced VerifiedView, a security feature tagging videos with user IDs to prevent unauthorized access, addressing past breaches like the 13,000-camera feed exposure.
Adobe’s new iPhone camera app leverages advanced computational photography to rival professional DSLRs, while TCL introduces innovative Atmos flexibility for home theater enthusiasts.
The minds behind Google Pixel’s acclaimed camera technology have unveiled their latest creation—an iPhone-exclusive camera app from Adobe. Developed by former Google engineers Marc Levoy and Florian Kainz, Project Indigo pushes smartphone photography boundaries by merging multiple exposures for superior dynamic range and reduced noise.
Currently available for iPhone 12 Pro and newer models, the free app captures up to 32 frames per shot, underexposing images to achieve an SLR-like aesthetic. Unlike standard smartphone cameras, this method introduces a slight delay but promises professional-grade results. Users gain manual control over shutter speed and ISO, with support for both RAW and JPEG formats.
Adobe’s move into mobile photography could reshape workflows for creatives, offering an end-to-end solution from capture to post-production. While still in its experimental phase, future updates may introduce Portrait mode, Android compatibility, and video recording—further expanding its appeal.
Meanwhile, Wyze has rolled out VerifiedView, a security upgrade addressing past vulnerabilities. Following a breach that exposed thousands of camera feeds earlier this year, the feature now embeds each video with a unique user ID. Access requires verification, ensuring only authorized accounts can view or share content. This safeguard aims to restore confidence in Wyze’s affordable security ecosystem.
Both developments highlight how cutting-edge technology continues to refine everyday tools, whether enhancing creative expression or bolstering digital privacy.
