Release

After first being announced in December 2024, Lux Optics has finally released the latest version of its Halide camera app for the iPhone and iPad. The Halide Mark III app’s most compelling feature is a new film‑simulation engine and a collection of five new Looks that can be applied to photos as they’re taken. Co‑developed with Cullen Kelly, a renowned Hollywood colorist, the looks are tailored for:

  • Landscape photography
  • Portraits
  • Cityscapes
  • A black‑and‑white option with extra film grain

Halide Mark III is available now through the App Store for a one‑time purchase price of $59.99, or as part of a $19.99/year subscription.

Halide Mark III isn’t free, but you can try it out for a week before buying.
