In short

Recipe Lab Studio Develops RAW and JPEG photos on your phone, with photos imported over Wi-Fi from a camera or taken from your library. It is aimed at photographers who want a one-time purchase with no subscription or account. One standout detail is that lens corrections are read from each RAW, so an unedited RAW matches the camera's own JPEG.

About

Recipe Lab Studio brings the RAW files off your camera and develops them on your phone. One payment, no subscription, no account, no computer.

PAY ONCE, KEEP IT Replace your photo editing app with one purchase. No monthly fee, no yearly plan, no feature locked behind a tier.

BRING YOUR PHOTOS IN • Over Wi-Fi from the camera, with Transfer to phone in the free Recipe Lab camera app • From your Photos library or files already on your phone Choose RAW or JPEG when a shot was recorded as both.

FILM LOOKS, GRAIN AND MIST • Your Recipe Lab looks as presets, inspired by classic film stocks • Film grain with size and roughness, sized in real pixels so the export matches what you saw • Mist: the soft glow of a diffusion filter around your highlights • Save your own looks and copy settings from one photo to the next • Sync recipes with the camera both ways, so a look made here can be used when you shoot

PRO TOOLS, ALL INCLUDED • Colour grading wheels for shadows, midtones and highlights • Masks: linear and radial gradients, dragged right on the photo • Spot heal and clone to remove dust, wires and distractions • Tone curve for RGB and each channel, and a mixer for eight colour ranges • Full-resolution zoom to check focus and grain

DEVELOP THEM PROPERLY • Light: exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks • Colour: temperature, tint, vibrance, saturation • Effects: clarity, texture, dehaze, vignette • Detail: sharpening and noise reduction • Crop with aspect presets, straighten, rotate, flip • Lens corrections read from every RAW, as the camera set them, so an unedited RAW matches the camera's own JPEG

YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Edits never touch the original. Your photos and edits stay on your phone unless you share them. Exports are full-size JPEGs that keep the camera, lens and exposure details.
