645 PRO – Updated – Release 2.0

A pair of new photo filters have been added, providing a choice of neutral graduated filtering that can help bring landscape skies to the fore. And the way that photo filters are accessed has also been modified, making it easy to toggle between a previously set-up filter setting and no filter.

The Film Modes have received some subtle yet sophisticated mods that help to overcome the inherent iPhone tendency to blown-out (clipped) highlights. Quite simply, these bring image highlights to life.

645 PRO now supports automatic interface rotation (lockable, for those who prefer a fixed orientation). And photographers using externally mounted DSLR lenses now have the ability to “flip” the viewfinder image to compensate for the flipped image they get from their add-on lens kit.

But the bulk of the additions can be seen after a photograph has been taken. Press the View/Share button and you’ll see that Instagram has been added to the sharers. You also now have an “Open In” option, that will open the image you are viewing in any application installed on your iPhone that exposes an interface for the file type in question (including Dropbox).

And if you choose to save unprocessed dRAW TIFF files to 645 PRO’s private Documents folder, you’ll see a new icon leading you to a space where these files can be managed in-app, rather than via iTunes File Sharing. You can view and delete your TIFFs, use the Open In functionality with those apps that support it, and copy images to Camera Roll for later editing using another app or syncing to your computer.
