Rian Johnson's new iPhone photography app, Chromagraph Camera, brings a cinematic look to your photos for $12.99. The app, developed with input from Johnson's cinematographer Steve Yedlin and programmer Eric Cameron, captures RAW image data and uses custom image processing similar to what the duo use on their films. This gives photos the signature color, tone, grain, and halation seen in movies like "Knives Out" and "The Last Jedi".
Users can also adjust color, tone, and texture in the app to achieve their desired look. Despite being a one-time purchase, the app has a distinct style that might not appeal to every photographer. It's not a filter app, but rather a way to bypass the iPhone's standard photographic processing. Critics have described the app's look as "Intangible Sludge," a characteristic of many Hollywood films in recent years.
While it may not be as user-friendly as some other editing apps, Chromagraph Camera offers significant control for those seeking a cinematic look in their photographs.
