Halide Mark III for iPhone and iPad adds a new film simulation engine with five new Looks that can be applied while taking photos, including options tailored for landscapes, portraits, and cityscapes plus a black-and-white look with extra film grain. The app includes a Photo Lab editor with Quick Edit controls for applying Looks, toggling HDR, and adjusting exposure. Additional tools support cropping, aspect ratio, white balance, and a Tone Fusion feature for recovering shadow and highlight details. The app can process imported RAW images from major camera brands, currently treated as a beta feature. The interface is redesigned for easier access to key controls, with an option to revert to the Halide Mark II layout. Halide Mark III is available via one-time purchase or subscription and is free for Halide Mark II owners, requiring iOS 18+ and iPadOS 18+.
"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 different looks are tailored for landscape photography, portraits, and cityscapes, plus 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, but it's a free upgrade for those who purchased Halide Mark II. It's compatible with iPhones running iOS 18 or later, and iPads running iPadOS 18 or later."
"The company describes the app's new Photo Lab as a "streamlined and approachable" photo editor that first presents you with a Quick Edit section where you can apply the various Looks, toggle HDR, and make exposure adjustments. More advanced controls are also available, including adjustments for cropping, aspect ratio, white balance, and a Tone Fusion tool for recovering details in shadows and highlights."
"For the first time, Halide Mark III can also process RAW images imported from Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, Hasselblad, and Leica cameras, although the company currently considers that a beta feature, according to DPReview. Other Mark III upgrades include improvements to Halide's interface that has been redesigned to keep critical controls within easy reach, while making more advanced options accessible through an iOS three-dot menu. If you're an existing user not thrilled with the changes, you can switch back to the Halide Mark II interface at any point."
