  "account": "In May, Lux Optics released the updated Halide Mark III pro camera app for iPhone. Now, Halide has announced Halide 3.2, specifically tailored for the iPhone 18 Pro camera system. This new version enhances the iPhone user's photo-taking capabilities with a redesigned camera, a revamped photo editor, and Halide looks for unique styles.\n\nHalide 3.1, released in July, built upon the previous update with an additional Halide look and further enhancements. With the release of Halide 3.2, the iPhone 18 Pro's upgraded camera system is fully supported, featuring an Aperture Priority mode. This mode allows users to set a target f-number ranging from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0, and Halide automatically adjusts shutter speed and ISO to optimize the shot.\n\nMoreover, Halide 3.2 introduces two new looks for all iPhone users - dawn and quicksilver. The dawn look imparts filmic warmth to mid-tones and highlights while maintaining soft, rich shadows. On the other hand, quicksilver offers high contrast with muted colors, inspired by silver-retention processes.\n\nLastly, Halide 3.2 brings a new 16:9 aspect ratio shooting mode, providing more flexibility to iPhone photographers. Halide Mark III can be purchased outright for $69.99 or accessed through a subscription at $19.99/year.",
