Tool Information
What is Halide?
Halide is a professional camera app that transforms the iPhone and iPad into a traditional pro camera. It offers options for natural unprocessed photos, creative film-like Looks, manual controls, and professional metering tools while saving raw sensor data for maximum flexibility.
Core Features
Process Zero
Single-shot RAW capture mode that disables iPhone processing for natural color and contrast with minimal processing and zero AI, producing film-like shots right out of the camera.
Professional Grade Looks
Alternative processing Looks powered by Process Zero, developed with a Hollywood colorist, offering physically accurate simulations including film effects like grain, halation, and MTF; all Looks included with no upsells.
Pro Tools XDR
Advanced tools including extended dynamic range (XDR) 14-bit color zebras and waveforms for accurate exposures, monochrome and color histograms, automatic enhanced focus peaking, and a focus loupe for perfect manual focus.
Image Lab and RAW flexibility
Allows re-developing shots later for different exposures or editing in external tools; saves raw sensor data alongside the shot for maximum flexibility; supports importing and rendering RAW files from standalone cameras.
iPad support with Pro View
Full Halide features on iPad plus custom interface and Pro View for a scaled-down unobstructed shot preview with space for pro tools and readouts.
iOS 18 Lock Screen and gestures
Lock Screen Capture support, one-handed design with edge gestures for mode switching, Tactile Touch for focus and exposure aids, and custom typefaces modeled after traditional camera controls.
Processing choice and natural lighting
Selectable image processing per shot: default iPhone processing, reduced processing, or Process Zero for zero-AI natural results.
