Halide 2.15 with ‘Process Zero’ turns your iPhone into a classic camera with zero AI and zero computational photography

Halide 2.15 with ‘Process Zero’ for iPhone uses zero AI and zero computational photography

Halide 2.15 with Process Zero introduces a process that uses zero AI and zero computational photography to produce beautiful, film-like natural photos using your iPhone.

Ben Sandofsky for Lux:

Today, we are launching something unlike any tech product in 2024: a product that uses zero AI and zero computational photography to produce natural, film-like photos. We call it Process Zero. It lives in Halide, and it turns your iPhone into a classic camera.

Process Zero is a new mode in Halide that skips over the standard iPhone image processing system. It produces photos with more detail and allows the photographer greater control over lighting and exposure. This is not a photo filter— it really develops photos at the raw, sensor-data level.

Just like film, Process Zero photos come with (digital) negatives, affording incredible control to change exposure after the fact. Much like film, it has grain. It works best in daytime or mixed lighting, rather than nighttime shots.

Best of all, Process Zero is available on every iPhone that runs Halide and iOS 17, not just the latest iPhones Pro.

Because Process Zero eschews magical algorithms, it has tradeoffs. This is why it’s a new choice in addition to the standard iPhone photo processing system in Halide.
