Ancient Light

Ancient Light transforms your iPhone camera into an instrument of the nineteenth century, rendering every photograph through the authentic chemistry of historic darkroom processes. Choose from seven period-accurate photographic processes — each painstakingly simulated through tone curves, grain structure, chemical toning, and optical defects that defined the golden age of photography. THE PROCESSES Daguerreotype — The first commercially successful photograph. A mirror-like silver surface, extraordinary detail, and a luminous quality that painters of the era envied. Tintype — The photograph of the working class. Robust, immediate, carried in pockets and sent to loved ones at war. Warm shadows and a distinctive metallic grain. Sepia — The warm brown tone of silver sulphide, the process that preserved Victorian portraits through a century and a half. Cyanotype — Sir John Herschel's iron-based process, producing the deep Prussian blues that gave us the word "blueprint." Beloved by Anna Atkins, the first photographer to publish a book of photographs. Anthotype — Made from crushed plant pigments exposed to sunlight. Delicate, fugitive, botanical. The most poetic of all photographic processes. Platinum — The process of choice for fine art portraiture. Cool, shadow-rich, with a tonal range that silver could never match. Built to last a thousand years. Autochrome — The Lumière brothers' starch-grain color process, 1907. Dreamy, pointillist, the first practical color photography available to the public. ADJUSTMENTS Before saving or sharing, refine your image with a full suite of period-sensitive editing tools — exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, black point, saturation, vibrance, warmth, sharpness, and vignette (including a reverse white vignette for an ethereal glow). Crop and straighten with precision handles and a rule-of-thirds guide. FEATURES * Seven authentic historic photographic processes * Six period frame styles — Baroque Brass, Beaded Silver, Engraved Brass, Plain Silver, Hammered Tin, and unframed * Real-time lens switching — wide, main, and telephoto * Adjustable process intensity * Swipe to compare all processes side by side * Compare against the original * Full adjustment suite with live preview * Crop tool with rule-of-thirds grid * Save to Photos or share directly Photography is, at its heart, the capture of ancient light — photons that have travelled from the sun, reflected from the world, and fallen onto a surface sensitive enough to remember them. Ancient Light honors that.

Fixed bug in saving and wanting to switch film type to possibly save another. New Features: All Four Optical Lenses Ultrawide (0.5×), wide (1×), 2×, and telephoto (5×) are now selectable directly from the viewfinder using native-style buttons. Available lenses are detected automatically from your device hardware. Switching between 1×, 2×, and 5× is instant; the ultrawide uses its dedicated sensor with a brief transition identical to the native camera. Save Multiple Versions from One Capture The Save button now resets after confirming, so you can swipe to a different process and save again — each version is written independently to your Photos library from a single capture. Landscape Edit Layout In landscape orientation, the review screen now uses a side-panel layout. The photo fills most of the screen; a right-hand panel contains the scrollable adjustment icons, active slider, and action buttons — all accessible without reducing the image size. Button order is consistent across orientations: Save, Share, Compare, and Discard. ProRAW + JPEG Dual Save On iPhone Pro models, each Save writes two files: the filtered JPEG with all Ancient Light metadata embedded, and the original 48MP ProRAW DNG straight from the sensor. They are saved as a single paired asset in Photos — identical to how the native Camera app handles ProRAW. Ready to open the DNG in Lightroom, Darkroom, or any RAW editor alongside your period version. On non-Pro devices only the JPEG is saved. Crop Now Applies Before the Period Effect The period treatment — vignette, plate edges, border details — is now applied to the cropped area rather than the full capture. A Daguerreotype or Tintype frame now wraps exactly what you composed, not the original sensor field of view. Frame Picker in the Viewfinder When Daguerreotype is the active process, a frame icon and current frame name appear directly in the viewfinder top bar. Tap to open a popup listing all six frame styles with descriptions. Works in portrait and landscape. Photographer Credit Field A new Photographer field in Settings writes your name to the IPTC Credit field of every saved photo. If left blank, the credit defaults to "Ancient Light." Rich Embedded Metadata Saved JPEGs now carry: process name and intensity (EXIF User Comment), caption with process and frame (IPTC Caption), photographer credit (IPTC Credit), app name and version (IPTC Originating Program and TIFF Software). Readable in Lightroom, macOS Photos, and any IPTC-aware viewer. Crop Handles Redesigned Corner and edge handles are now inset from the image boundary so they sit outside the photo rather than on its edge. The full image is always visible while cropping. Real-Time Adjustment Sliders Slider response has been tuned for immediate feedback — changes appear live as you drag, without visible lag. Framing Matches Capture The viewfinder now uses letterbox mode so the preview shows exactly what the sensor will capture. No more zoom mismatch between what you saw and what was saved.
