FilmLab: Negative Film Scanner

Version 2.5.3 has two small fixes:
- Fix slowdown when pinch-zooming in crop mode
- Fix a typo on the welcome screen

Version 2.5.2 fixes a crash when attempting to use the ultra wide camera on some iPhone models. It also prevents crashes when attempting to load missing or corrupted image files. See previous release notes for full information on new features in version 2.5, which is a major update.

Version 2.5.1 fixes a crash when initializing the camera on certain iPhone models and iOS versions. See previous release notes for full information on new features in version 2.5, which is a major update.

FilmLab 2.5 is a major update. Changes in this release include:

- A new camera screen that lets you set up a crop to match your desired film format
- Two new crop modes available in the image editor - crop and corners/perspective
- Improved auto exposure and auto color balance
- Export as 8-bit or 16-bit TIFF
- Many bug fixes and optimizations

In addition, this release updates our subscription model. Features that formerly required a FilmLab Pro upgrade are now included for everyone. FilmLab now requires a subscription to scan new images after the first 12. A subscription is not required to view and edit previously captured images. Users who purchased FilmLab as a one-time lifetime purchase do not need to buy a subscription. When you first install version 2.5, you may need to press the "restore purchases" button to active previous purchases.

Thank you very much for your support, which makes it possible for us to continue to develop and improve FilmLab!

FilmLab 2 is an all new app with lots of great free features. Now you can save, edit, and organize your scans. Editing is non-destructive, so all the information in the negatives is retained and you can make adjustments at any time.

FilmLab 2 also adds a brand new Pro option which makes it possible to work with images taken with other cameras, either by importing them or by opening a shared folder from Files. We think you're going to love processing film scans on your iPhone or iPad!

This release includes a major update to our process simulation technology, which gives more beautiful and accurate colors for negative film.

It also fixes a bug in iOS 14 on some devices that would cause the camera to stop responding. If this bug was affecting you, please restart your phone after installing the update.

- Fixes an issue where auto-exposure would be off when capturing film surrounded by a black mask
- Fixes two crashing bugs
- More speed improvements

FilmLab 0.4.0 fixes a bug that was causing the camera to intermittently stop working after capture on some iPhone models. It also includes speed improvements, and an upgraded image processing engine that produces more authentic colors and tones based on simulating analog print materials.

FilmLab 1.3.2 has a few small improvements and bug fixes.

Bugs fixed:

- Fixed a bug where the option to change sync speed between 1/50 and 1/60 was hidden on some phones.
- Fixed a bug in color handling on devices that don't support raw capture

New features:

- The sync speed setting is now saved - FilmLab will remember the option you chose last time.
- The export button is now disabled while an image is processing. This prevents saving a partially-processed image, which may have low quality.

Improvements:

- CPU use and battery use have been reduced
- Auto color balance accuracy is slightly better

FilmLab 1.3.1 fixes an issue where the blue channel in color negatives could become overly saturated.

FIlmLab 1.3 adds support for iOS 13, as well as the following improvements:

- New image processing with less noise and sharper output
- New black and white contrast control based on simulating split-grade darkroom printing
- Better, more accurate color conversion for color negatives
- Improved contrast control for color negatives
- Faster, smoother rendering on older devices

FIlmLab 1.3 adds support for iOS 13, as well as the following improvements:

- New image processing with less noise and sharper output
- New black and white contrast control based on simulating split-grade darkroom printing
- Better, more accurate color conversion for color negatives
- Improved contrast control for color negatives
- Faster, smoother rendering on older devices

This is a bug fix release. It fixes an issue where FIlmLab would crash if it didn't have permission to access the camera, and fixes compatibility issues with iOS 13.

FilmLab 1.2.1 fixes a bug where exposure would be wrong when using certain iPhone models with bright light tables.

FilmLab 1.1 improves color rendering and image quality, fixes bugs, and adds a new feature: contrast control!

Color improvements: FilmLab's color negative mode is greatly improved. Colors are better balanced, more accurate, and have increased saturation. Tone curves have been fine-tuned to preserve highlight detail, and skin tones are warmer and more lifelike. Under the hood, FilmLab 1.1 now uses the wide-gamut Display P3 color space on supported devices. This makes it possible to pull more color information out of negatives, and produce a wider range of colors.

Image quality: FilmLab 1.1 fixes a bug which was causing output images to have color banding. It also has improved raw image processing, producing images with more detail and less noise.

Contrast control: FilmLab now lets you control contrast in both color and black and white images. This is especially helpful with black and white films, which vary in contrast depending on the film stock and development methods. Now you can reduce contrast to preserve details in a contrasty negative, or increase contrast to make a low-contrast negative pop.

Bug fixes: FilmLab 1.1 fixes bugs related to panning and zooming, especially with rotated images. It fixes a bug that made it impossible to fully zoom out on an image when a toolbar was covering part of it (which made it difficult to set crop points near the top and bottom edges). It fixes a bug in the camera which caused autoexposure to fail in certain conditions, resulting in clipped highlights or shadows. Finally, FilmLab 1.1 is better at automatically distinguishing between film and backlight when there is a small amount of film present in a scene.

Thanks to everyone who purchased FilmLab 1.0! And I especially want to thank those of you who took time to send email with questions and comments. Your feedback is helping make FilmLab better, and I hope you'll find version 1.1 to be a solid step forward.

This release fixes a single bug, where crop corners were being applied incorrectly on iPhone Plus devices running iOS 12.
