Steve Yedlin, the cinematographer behind Knives Out and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, has released Chromagraph Camera, an iPhone-only app that applies his own film-grade color processing to still photos. The app shoots RAW image data and processes it after capture rather than relying on Apple's built-in camera pipeline, and costs a one-time $13 fee with no video support yet. It became the top paid app in the iOS store after director Rian Johnson promoted it on social media in late October.

Director Rian Johnson has launched Chromagraph Camera, an iPhone app developed with cinematographer Steve Yedlin that applies the same image-processing technique used in the 'Knives Out' films. The $12.99 app processes raw image data with its own look rather than applying a filter, lets users adjust color, tone and texture, and stores original raw files alongside exported images.

A photography guide explains several ways iPhone users can reduce blurry photos, including raising video/photo resolution in Settings > Camera, using tap-and-hold AE/AF Lock to fix focus, and enabling Night Mode on iPhone 11 and later for low-light shots. It also recommends third-party apps like Camera+ for manual shutter speed and ISO control, plus using a tripod to minimize camera shake.

Apple has explained that its iPhone cameras rely on magnet-sensitive sensors for optical image stabilization and closed-loop autofocus, which help keep photos and videos sharp. Strong magnetic fields placed near the camera, such as those from certain third-party accessories, can interfere with these sensors, reducing motion-sensing accuracy and limiting lens range. Apple specifically cautions against accessories like magnetic latch folio cases and car mounts.

There is no single button in iOS that resets the Camera app back to its original settings, according to a new how-to guide. Instead, users who want to undo accumulated tweaks or clean up a second-hand iPhone must manually revert each camera option one by one.
