Why This Matters

Adobe’s expansion of Project Indigo to support select iPads and the iPhone 17e marks a significant step in integrating advanced computational photography with mobile devices. This update enhances creative flexibility for consumers and professionals alike, enabling high-quality, natural-looking images with improved device compatibility. It underscores Adobe’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile photography and AI-driven image processing in the tech industry.

Key Takeaways

The new update to Adobe’s experimental camera app adds initial support for iPads with at least 6GB of RAM and the new iPhone 17e. Here are the details.

Project Indigo gains ‘initial iPad support’

Last June, Adobe announced an experimental app, Project Indigo, promising to leverage a “custom computational photography pipeline” to offer “a natural image look, and a full set of camera controls.”

Photos produced by Indigo employ computational photography and AI to produce a natural (SLR-like) look for your photos, including special (but gentle) treatment of subjects and skies. This look is applied when generating JPEG images and is embedded as a rendering suggestion in raw DNG files (if enabled). All raw pixels remain intact – the look does not alter them.

Since then, the company has been working to add new features and improvements based on user feedback, in addition to expanding support to new devices.

Last October, the company ran into problems that prevented it from bringing a speedier compatibility with the iPhone 17 lineup, some of which were only solved after Apple released iOS 26.1.

Today, Adobe updated Project Indigo with multiple new features, including:

New grid view in the filmstrip. Find your photos more easily. Includes multi-selection for sharing or deletion.

Use the multi-selection feature in the grid view to import multiple photos into the Lightroom mobile app in one go.
