Excellent video and wonderful software for iOS, William! Developers can try www.Configure.IT platform for making a similar app for Android phones.

@niteshmishra_ nice digital marketing

@niteshmishra_ You gotta stop spamming, dude. I've read this at least a few dozen times this week and it's getting annoying now. Pro tip - actually build some cool apps and put a 'built with XYZ' label in the hunt page.

video made my day, though it's only 7:15am right now, so things could change

I've made multiple comparisons between jpeg and dng and now knows why apple hasn't implemented in their own camera... the differences are just to marginal (for the file size). No more shadow details at all just a tad more highlights latitude but no noise reduction. The App is really well done though πŸ˜‰
William Wilkinson
@jonas_petermann No way, you opening the DNG file in Camera Raw (or Lightroom)? Pull down highlights, contrast down, push shadows. Way more range than JPEG. Then look at closeups like this: https://twitter.com/willw/status...

@willw Dumb question: can Manual's DNG's be opened by Lightroom on iOS? e.g., do I ever have to open a photo on desktop ever again? (thanks, by the way! Huge fan of Manual)
Ryan J A Murphy
@ryanjamurphy nvm. Found a brilliant way of answering this- just trying the app myself. πŸ€“ I'll try a real question instead: is there any hope that Manual will eventually support the 7+'s dual cameras and the fun depth mapping it enables?

I like that he flipped off the phone.

Any plans to bring out an Android version?

@thepankazzz with a photo of Tim Cook on his wall I think Android would be an insult to him hehehe. Good app and good video, nice!

Upvoted just for the vid! Great looking product too, kudos..

Very cool! Will this eventually have simulated aperture of some sort to control depth of field? @willw
William Wilkinson
@davidsfeng Still TBD. Unclear if Apple will open it up to 3rd party. Even still not sure I would. Partially because the fake depth stuff can't be saved RAW cause it's processed to do the effect. But also cause its kind of outside the prosumer market for my app. I've played with the beta a bit, it's okay, but it's very particular, and the blur isn't that natural the way they do it.
David Feng
@willw makes sense. I guess another problem with simulated depth of field is that it's sudden and there's no real gradual progression as it relates to focusing distance and aperture. I can see how it might not make sense for an app like manual 2.0.

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to it out! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
