p.1 #1 · Adobe Project Indigo - Using iPhone for "real photography"
Just heard about the new Project Indigo app for the iPhone:
As Adobe explores ways to evolve mobile photography, and in order to address some of these gaps, we have developed a camera app we call Project Indigo. Today, we are releasing this for iPhone as a free mobile app from Adobe Labs, available in the Apple App Store - to share our progress and get feedback from the community. The app offers full manual controls, a more natural ("SLR-like") look, and the highest image quality that computational photography can provide - in both JPEG and raw formats. It also introduces some new photographic experiences not available in other camera apps.

Has anyone tried this? Will this app make some people stop using their Ricoh GRIII? Are there some interesting practical articles or reviews of Project Indigo on the web?

I think it's getting there now in terms of interpolation quality but people still resonate with the physical experience part of specialized tools now more than ever. Looks great though, it should raise the base knowledge levels of everyone.

Tried the app and looks pretty good. But this will 100% go behind a subscription paywall at some point.
A minor note in the announcement but most promising for enthusiast photography is that they’re using gain maps in jpg for HDR screen compatibility. If Adobe (and C1, others) could finally agree on a backward compatible standard like this and integrate it into our editing workflow, we could display more of the data that’s already in our RAW files
