  • I just assumed this was what all phones with multiple rear cameras were doing, is it not? What are the multiple cameras for other than that?

  • It’s weird, because the center of the image will be more detailed, so how are they dealing with the “grid of pixels” that is on the display. Are they doubling up the wide angle.

    “Easy-to-understand framing The brackets over the viewfinder indicate the area covered by the more detailed lens. Frame your subject inside them to capture the best detail.“

    Reminds me of the old 3d cameras that took two photos at once through 2 lenses (on film)

  • It would have been nicer if the examples wouldn't have been digitally altered to exaggerate the results. For instance, the center of the third photo has been intentionally blurred in the "standard photo" version.

    The fact that they have to resort to manipulation to sell their product tells me that they are not trustworthy and that their product is probably underwhelming.

  • Neat work, but the free tier lets you export 3 images a month and the alternative is a subscription? No thanks.

  • Somewhat related... I made an indie app called TwinCam which combines front-and-back camera images to create a combined selfie. Free. No strings attached. Cheers!

  • To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple isn't already doing this and just doesn't say so explicitly. There is a crazy amount of image processing going on behind the scenes in each smartphone photo. Would be interesting to compare a photo taken with the native camera app and photosynthesis to compare. I'm assuming your demo images on your site are the raw and processed images from your app that don't go through Apple's "secret sauce" processing pipeline.
