Leica’s Lux app for iPhones is meant to bring Leica color and lens looks to your photos — but you’ll need to pay a subscription to get the most from it.
Leica wants in on Fujifilm’s film simulation hype, so it’s bringing its own color profiles to iPhone users by way of a new Leica Lux app — complete with a paid subscription. Leica Lux is a new camera app available on the App Store loaded with 11 color profiles designed to match current Leica cameras and classic film-inspired aesthetics.
I’ve also seen it render some weird pixelated blockiness at the edges of the in-focus subject, but for now, I’ll concede to the app’s beta status. Even when the lens simulation is done nicely, you have to contend with the fact that Apple’s own software isn’t always friendly to third-party apps. Leica Lux doesn’t allow you to reverse a portrait mode shot to bail yourself out with a regular-looking photo, unlike you can do on Apple’s own camera app.
