Adobe launched Project Indigo, a camera app for iPhone with full manual control

Adobe Has yet launched another app for iPhone, built on the recent release of firefly and photoshop on the app store. The US-based company has introduced Project IndiGo, a dedicated camera app developed by Adobe Labs, which takes advantage of computational photography to capture 32 frames and combine them into the same photo. It uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to store images in both standard dynamic range (SDR) and high dynamic range (HDR). Adobe says that project IndiGo is called Sangat with camera Raw and Literoom app.

Adobe Project Indigo App for iPhone: Facilities

In a research articleAdobe expanded its new project Indigo app. With Project IndiGo, Adobe’s purpose is to deal with the issue of “smartphone look” – images that are highly bright, low contrast, high color saturation, high stagnation and strongly sharp details. While they look fine on a small screen, looking at them on a large display can lead to “unrealistic look” according to the company.

This is where the project comes to Indigo. It is available as one Download for free Experimental app at App Store for iPhone. The app provides complete manual control with devices such as an aperture, exposure time, ISO, focus and white balance, there is also a separate control over the temperature and tint.

Two modes from opening the app – Photo and night – daylight and night photography of daylight. The latter is asked to use long -term exposure to reduce the noise and capture more frames with each press of shutter. It also improves stabilization and reduces hand-shake when capturing exposure images at night. Adobe says that the project brings a more natural “SLR-like” look for indigo images and the highest possible quality.

The app is powered by computational photography and it is claimed to reduce images more strongly than most cameras. In addition, it captures, align and adds 32 frames, resulting in low-blow-out highlights, low noise in shade and a better picture.

Adobe explains that employing the above methods means that less spatial danoizing is required. It is claimed to preserve more natural texture, even if it means quitting a little noise in the image. The benefits of computational photography apply to both JPEG and raw photos.

According to the company, the project IndiGo also improves the Pinch-Zoom on the iPhone by employing multi-frame super resolution. This image is claimed to restore quality that usually focuses on the center part of the image when the camera zoom is lost by digital scaling. The app captures several images of the same scene, combining them into a single image, known as “super resolution photo”. Adobe says that it gives more details than being present in an image.

The project is compatible with the pro model of Apple starting with the Indigo iPhone 12 series. It is also available on the iPhone 14 and later non-pro model. At the moment, the app is completely free-to-use and does not require sign-in. Adobe says that it will also introduce a similar app for Android devices in time.
