Adobe has released a new camera app for iPhones called Project Indigo. Built with the help of Marc Levoy, a former Google engineer known for his work on the Pixel camera, the app uses computational photography to capture stunning, DSLR-like photos.
Project Indigo is free and available for iPhone 12 Pro and newer models, though Adobe recommends using an iPhone 15 Pro or later for the best experience. Unlike many apps, it does not require users to log in with an Adobe account.
Instead of snapping a single photo, Project Indigo captures a burst of images and combines them to produce photos with less noise and better dynamic range. The app also offers manual controls such as focus, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance, giving both casual and advanced photographers plenty of creative options.
Marc Levoy and Adobe senior scientist Florian Kainz explained that Project Indigo is the first step toward a unified mobile camera and editing experience. Future updates may include new features like reflection removal, portrait mode, video recording, and an Android version.
Project Indigo aims to appeal to anyone who wants high-quality, natural-looking photos on their iPhone, whether they are casual users or photography enthusiasts.
Adobe invites users to try Project Indigo and explore its powerful photography features as part of a new journey in mobile imaging.
