GuanZhen: Photo Critique·Gear

About GuanZhen: Photo Critique·Gear

DIAGNOSE FROM ANY APP Select a photo in Photos, Files, or any app's share sheet and tap "Diagnose in GuanZhen" to submit it — no need to open the app first. EXIF is preserved byte for byte; back in GuanZhen, tap the banner at the top to open the free single-photo critique. EDITING RECIPE Deep critiques now include up to four actionable editing steps, and say so plainly when there is nothing worth changing instead of padding the list. After editing, tap "Compare after editing" to check whether the result moved in the intended direction and whether the correction was overdone. COMPOSITION GUIDE — Free, on device Single-photo critique now marks the actual position of your subject and suggests up to two crop ratios (1:1, 4:5, 3:2, 16:9). If the frame is off level by more than 2°, it reports the correction angle. SHOOTING FOOTPRINT MAP — Free, on device Heat zones and the three cities you shoot most, generated from the location data already embedded in your photos. The map requests no location permission, your photos are never uploaded, and a share card can be exported in one tap. New in this version: Tonight's Light: a weekend-afternoon prompt that picks one of the spots you have shot before and tells you when golden hour starts there Retake list: mark a location and the light you want, and get a reminder when the window matches Record wall: farthest, earliest, latest, and most in a single day — surfaced only when a record is broken Time-of-day titles now span bronze, silver, and gold, with progress on your leading title mirrored in the widget Four Seasons: once a location has spring, summer, autumn, and winter, a 2×2 seasonal card is generated automatically, and you can swap any frame by hand Spot dossier: the rating trend for a single location and the issues that recur there A Saturday micro-exploration card, hidden badges on the badge wall, and alerts for rare sky windows and solstice light — silent for the whole month when there is nothing worth reporting MASTERWORK BENCHMARK Tasks in Weekly Smart Training now include a written reference brief covering composition, light, the key moment, and common failure points — text only, with no image to copy. RAW SUPPORT RAW and DNG files are detected and badged, with editing-headroom guidance written separately for RAW and JPEG. GEAR ROI REPORT, REBUILT Cost is now derived from depreciation over your holding period rather than current resale value, so gear that holds its value is no longer ranked as the hardest to pay back. Phone and camera shots are counted on separate tracks. The "gathering dust" percentage, the named list, and the sell suggestions all come from one and the same test, so the numbers no longer disagree with the names. APS-C and Micro Four Thirds focal lengths are converted to full-frame equivalents. Figures will come out lower after a rescan; this is the corrected accounting. ALSO IN THIS VERSION Added an annual subscription plan Long critiques and style reports are no longer truncated mid-output Fixed the dark flash at launch, and iPhone landscape incorrectly using the iPad two-column layout Improved contrast on secondary text, added press feedback on buttons and a "Continue where you left off" entry point, and banners now queue by priority
