An arduous job that is difficult to do with just two people, Halide 3.0 is close
In a statement made by the developers of the appindicate that having a small team has its degree of difficulty. The main thing is that they can risk investing months of hard work without feedbackplus it can feel like users are being ignored.
They were able to get ahead a year ago when they announced the development of the Kino app, users showed that it was worth creating it. The fruit of that work was reflected when they won the app of the year award for iPhone. Halide is part of the 10 best photography apps according to Apple

That’s why Now each user will be able to share their experience with Halide in a new Discord channelin addition to the fact that version 3.0 can be tested through TestFlight, the app that allows Apple users to have early access to the betas of the apps.

Color grades
One of Kino’s star features will come to Halide 3.0, it is the One-touch color grading support. This feature also will allow you to import colors defined by other users. The app highlights that it includes some “looks” of movies. Imagine being able to give your photographs a vintage look or create a personalized atmosphere that you can share with the world.
A redesign after 5 years of existence
It is important to note that Halide 2.0 will be 5 years old in 2025 and that is why its team has taken on the task of making “big changes”. They recognize that iPhone photography has changed and that they have learned from their users and the use they give to the app. They indicate that a new redesign will be shown based on the HDR model and color grade support. They promise that “it will be beautiful in both form and function.”
An opinion on HDR
Have you noticed that some iPhone photos on social media stand out? It is the HDR that is present with a higher brightness and has more details. This is easy to notice in the Instagram app. At Halide they indicate that this is important but that for the moment, your “Zero” process is not compatible with Apple’s HDR.
They want to “take their time and create a thoughtful and nuanced HDR model.” They will try to solve compatibility thanks to iOS 18 and the adaptive HDR model, in addition to the fact that they will do so at the same time as they launch the color grading function.

What is important is that users who are Halide 2.0 subscribers will receive version 3.0in addition to single purchase users. Early access will be possible so that the development team can receive feedback on the app. The best way to do this will be through Discord in which everyone who joins will be able to receive news and preliminary versions in TestFlight.
