On the iPhone
Last night, on the way in.
Look through the shoot on the train and swipe up to keep, down to let go. In the editor the photograph sits above a sheet with Looks, Light, Colour, Effects, Grade, Detail, Masks, Retouch and Crop. Hold Before to see where you started.
On the iPad
Two editors.
Classic puts the photograph beside the panel, with a filmstrip below. Modern fills the screen with the photograph and puts the controls where your thumbs rest: the tabs under one, the sliders under the other, the value floating at the top as you change it.
Masks
The sky, in one tap.
The sky, a subject, a person, water or greenery, found by models that run on the device; or draw a linear, radial or brush mask yourself. The red wash shows what a mask covers, and each mask gets its own light, colour, curve and grade.
Your photographs
Where you keep them.
In your Photos library, a folder in Files, an external drive, a NAS, or a synced folder such as iCloud Drive or OneDrive. For a photograph from Photos, Done saves the edit back to Photos. Numa never sends your photographs anywhere and has no cloud or account of its own.
The details
Colour, cost and questions.
Colour and looks
Camera and lens profiles, looks with a Strength slider, LUTs, one colour wheel for shadows, midtones and highlights, and presets imported from Lightroom and Capture One. RAW files from hundreds of cameras, as well as JPEG and HEIF.
