Overview
- Johnson announced the launch on Wednesday after building the app with cinematographer Steve Yedlin and color scientist Eric Cameron.
- Chromagraph Camera captures RAW stills, bypasses iPhone look management rather than layering a filter, and uses the same custom math Yedlin applies to his films to shape tone, color, grain, and halation.
- The app is on the App Store as a one-time $12.99 purchase and was reported near the top of the Photo & Video chart shortly after release.
- For now it is iOS-only and stills-only, with the team saying future video support could arrive for newer iPhone models while Android ports are unlikely because of wide hardware variation and the small developer team.
- Users can fine-tune color, exposure, grain, and halation inside the app and export processed images to the camera roll, a move that could popularize film-style rendering in everyday phone photography and shift how mainstream camera apps approach image pipelines.
