What’s new
Version 7.0 · Updated September 19, 2026
Photon 7.0 is now a native iPad camera, supports iOS 27 and iPhone 18 Pro! Photon is now a native iPad camera. All your pro tools are there: manual controls, histogram, level, focus peaking, and loupe, with layouts designed for the larger screen. A dedicated editing sidebar gives your photos more room while keeping adjustments close at hand. Smart Selection lets you adjust one part of a photograph independently. In the adjustments panel, turn on selection mode and tap an object. Photon detects the object's edges and highlights it, so your adjustments affect only that region. Invert the selection to work on everything outside it instead. Brighten your subject, cool the background, or give each its own look. Requires iOS 27. New Blur and Sharpen tools give you more ways to shape your photos. Apply them to the whole image, or combine them with Smart Selection to soften a background or bring out detail in your subject. And there is more: * Support for iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. * Manual aperture control on iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, in Photon and through Camera Control. * Refreshed manual controls with clear labels, improved contrast, and easier-to-tap buttons. * Smoother transitions between the photo browser and editor. * Clearer explanations when the camera is interrupted, with automatic recovery when it becomes available again. * More reliable RAW burst shooting, with reduced memory use during sustained bursts. * Photos taken with Process Control now open directly in the editor. We would love to hear how Photon feels on iPad. Use the in-app bug reporter or email us at [email protected]. If you are enjoying Photon, a quick rating on the App Store helps us a lot.
