No Half Measures: Building the Best Photo Editing App for iPad
To build the best photo editor that feels native on the iPad, we need to deliver on three core promises:
- Respect the platform
- Streamline the editing experience
- Be familiar
Robust keyboard shortcut support also comes with the iPad version of Darkroom.
Another change sees albums being bumped to the top level of your image library, making them easier to get to.
Another great feature is easy access to the actions menu right from the Photo Strip.
A brand new addition with this update is a color histogram.
The update also brings a partnership with camera app and external iPhone lens maker Moment (review):

Check out the full release notes here. With an impressive 4.8/5 star average rating with over 6,000 reviews, Darkroom is a free download from the App Store with optional in-app purchases to unlock all the pro features.
App-Wide Refinement
Every tool and every view has been refined to improve performance and usability. For a full list with details head to our release notes. Some highlights:
Value labels on sliders: Being able to see the values means being able to reproduce and share looks. It means editing with more confidence and refinement.
Filter strength: We’ve revamped how it works, now, when you adjust the strength of a filter, you’ll be able to clearly see that adjustment in the filter at all times, and you can copy/paste edits with the strength adjustment, and even make your own filter with a custom strength.
Full Right-To-Left language support: When using the app in Arabic or Hebrew, the entire user interface will now flip, along with all the gestures and arrows. We’re extremely proud to offer first-class support for this.
Undo and Redo Gestures: Tap with two fingers to undo, three fingers to redo. Works on iPhone and iPad.
