Quick start

1. Open image (or pick an example). RAW — NEF or DNG — unlocks the full color range.
2. On open, the app automatically sets white balance, exposure and denoise from the photo itself.
3. Tap foliage in the photo to fine-tune white balance — the classic IR move.
4. Pick a Look, adjust sliders to taste, then Export & Save.

Gestures

• Tap the photo — set white balance from that point (aim at foliage).
• Pinch — zoom (up to 8×); drag to pan while zoomed.
• Press & hold the photo (or the Hold: Original button) — compare with the original.

Looks & adjustments

Looks are one-tap recipes; every slider stays live afterwards so you can push further. Looks tagged R⇆B use the red⇆blue channel swap — the move that makes IR sky blue and foliage red/gold. Toggle the swap button to see its effect on any look. HIE glow is film-style halation — the HIE B&W look uses it, and the slider layers it onto any other look too.

Per-color moves sky (cyans/blues) and foliage (reds/golds) independently — e.g. Aerochrome, then Sky hue +40 for a deeper blue sky without touching the trees.

Profiles

.cube bakes your color look for Photoshop/video apps. .dcp is a Lightroom camera profile (beta). Denoise and glow are spatial effects and can't ride along in profiles.

Works with

JPEG/PNG from any camera · RAW from any Bayer-sensor camera converted to DNG (free Adobe DNG Converter, or Lightroom's Convert to DNG) · Nikon NEF natively (classic compressed; not Z8/Z9 High-Efficiency) · Fujifilm X-Trans not supported. Tuned on an IR-converted Nikon Z50.

Tips

• Import from Files, not the Photo Library — iOS silently converts RAW to JPEG there. A zipped RAW also works.
• Scenes with big empty dark skies take more Contrast; scenes with shadow detail (roads, dark trees) look best gentle.
• 720nm-filter shots are near-monochrome by nature — that's what B&W IR, Sepia IR and HIE B&W are for.
