Adobe Indigo

This is a test frame using the new Adobe Labs Indigo camera app. I did some light post-processing in PhotoLab7. Captured with iPhone 13 Pro Max, 2025-06-24 07:17:31, 5.7mm, 1/30sec, f/1.5, ISO-100.

My last iPhone upgrade was from an iPhone 11 Pro Max (I think, and iPhone 11 for sure) to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I have not upgraded to the latest and greatest, and probably will not. That is a topic for another essay.

I also have tried any number of camera apps in my iPhones over the years. I was just reading through a recent email from DPReview about Adobe Lab’s new camera app, Indigo. I have not wanted to give up completely on the iPhone camera, but the quality of output is generally unsatisfactory. So, I decided to give the new Indigo app a chance.

The result of my first shot is the example above. It is a grab shot of my coffee mug, dust, residue, and all. I did a little post processing in PhotoLab7 to slightly improve the aesthetic.

From what I see, Indigo has promise. I will be doing more testing and grab some of the RAW images that it produces for post processing and review.

I do not care for Adobe’s change to a subscription model. For that reason, I eschew most of the their products. It does not matter to me whether they are the standard or not. I have alternatives that serve my needs. Indigo might be the exception to my rule.

Nonetheless, I remain grateful. Life is good.
