About
Halide Mark III is a professional iPhone camera app that disables Apple's computational photography for natural, film-like results and adds manual controls, creative Looks, and RAW editing.

The app includes sophisticated framing guides (grid, rule of thirds, golden ratio, rabatment), dedicated Macro Mode, and Photo Lab for editing—adjust exposure, rescue shadow and highlight details with Tone Fusion, and import RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, Fujifilm, Hasselblad, and Apple's camera app in formats including DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, RAF, ARW, and FFF. Available as a one-time purchase or 7-day free trial with annual membership.
