Overview

  • Launched last week, Project Indigo is available on the App Store for iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, and all iPhone 14 models and above without requiring an Adobe account
  • The app captures up to 32 underexposed frames per shot and merges them into both JPEG and RAW/DNG files to enhance detail and reduce noise
  • Users gain granular control over focus, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, exposure compensation and number of burst frames for customized image capture
  • Project Indigo integrates directly with Lightroom Mobile for seamless editing and features an AI-powered Remove Reflections mode to clean images taken through glass
  • Adobe is positioning Indigo as a technology incubator with plans for portrait mode, video recording and a potential Android release
