This video introduces features in the upcoming 0.6 update 65×24 for iOS 18 and iPhone 16 with Camera Control.  65×24 ("65 by 24") is a panoramic camera app for iPhone, which lets photographers compose and shoot in the iconic 65:24 (2.71) aspect ratio first pioneered by the Hasselblad X-Pan.  https://65x24.net  Designed by Héliographe: https://heliographe.net

The Nikon 35Ti camera had an analog display, which kinda doesn’t make a lot of sense but is also super cool? 

This has been in my camera UI inspiration folder for a while and I might yet build camera app UI inspired by it some day.

iPhone 16 update coming after I get my hands on one, hopefully within the next few weeks :)

if you went to design school, do you feel like it taught you to approach design critiques well?

if you work in design, do you feel like your current team does design crits well?

for me: the design profs I had sucked at teaching good crit, but I was lucky to work in great teams

I like how movie shoots bring together a bunch of people very close for an intense period of time, as a one off project. I like how musicians will remix each other’s tracks and do featurings.

I want to bring some of that spirit to software development.

Update for 65×24, a free panoramic camera app for iPhone, coming in a bit over 24 hours.

When you use Camera Control on iPhone 16, the viewfinder expands to fill the screen, giving you an immersive shooting experience that almost makes your phone feel like a dedicated camera.

This 2006 Sony NW A1000 is one of my favorite handheld device design of all times. The way the screen is perfectly seamless is just *chef kiss* 

Probably why I can’t help myself but design UIs for OLED screens as minimalist content on pure black background

Upcoming black and white film emulator app AgBr is based on @Nuevo.Tokyo’s deep experience editing black and white images and digitally recreating vintage film emulsions

Our goal is a process that produces delightful results for any photo you run through it

I've shared a number of design process details about 65×24 on my personal website. Will update it with features from the latest update soon!

Launched 65×24 on Product Hunt! 

I've been working on this panoramic camera app for a while now, and after the latest update I feel like it's ready to be shared with the broader world.

Check it out!

The new update for 65×24 includes controls for quickly launching the app from your phone’s Control Center or Lock Screen on iOS 18

Releasing tomorrow!

Updated my personal webpage recently; it was way overdue. 

It features design process pages for my recent projects, here’s the one for the 65×24 panoramic camera app

Lots of stuff coming this week, it's going to be fun!

65×24 is a free XPan format panoramic camera app, and the latest update went live earlier today

Now featuring a full screen viewfinder when you use Camera Control on iPhone 16, which makes shooting with your iPhone feel like a dedicated camera!

a great product lesson courtesy of Bluesky recently: 

stay nimble, keep executing, over a long enough timeframe your heavyweight established competitors will just shoot themselves in the foot

I put together a press kit for 65×24! Includes lots of details, sample shots, and more.

https://heliographe.net/press/65x24-presskit

Tomorrow I will share more info about the big update incoming 👀

I just made an overview video for 65×24, an XPan aspect ratio camera app for iPhone. Even advanced users might learn a trick or two watching it :)

Some new exciting things are coming this week, stay tuned...

Now taking signups for beta testing of AgBr, a black and white film emulator.
We still have lots of work to do, but want to involve the community early and get great feedback.

How do we give people the confidence to spend 10 seconds making a crappy post-it doodle rather than using AI generated images for their blog/newsletter/etc? 

In all cases the crappy doodle would be more interesting and have more personality

13 years later, the UI design of the OP-1 is still a masterclass

So much to love - minimal use of color on the black OLED screen, fun illustrations that pack in lots of technical information yet remain legible, color coded parameters that reference the physical knobs…

The name for an "unprocessed photograph" is a "latent image"; when you process a latent image, it becomes a photo

What is commonly referred to as a "raw photo" is a (digital) latent image, and if you visualize it (which arguably is processing) its pixels typically look like this

Made a quick little infographic because way too many camera apps are showing Camera Control sliders with bare numbers right now and it’s just plain confusing

Always include context in your UIs!

Big update for 65×24 coming this Monday, Nov 4th! 

Full support for new iPhone 16 and iOS 18 features, with a unique twist you definitely haven't seen before.

If you are really good at SVG - both the authoring tool side (eg Illustrator/Inkscape) side and the technical XML side - I have some contract work for you, hit me up

Albert Borgmann (1937-2023) distinguished between the paradigm of a device vs a focal object. A device makes things instantaneous, safe, easy. A focal object requires attention, care, practice.

Think: automatic car vs bike. Food delivery app vs cookbook.

The wind is subtly rustling the tarp on this building, and it works beautifully as a trichromatic shot

Long phone displays + panoramic photography = best friends

App: 65×24 Panoramic Camera (free on the App Store)

For 13 years I have wanted an API that returns the color of the current iPhone device

We don’t have that so the default accent color in 65×24 is International Orange (and there’s a bunch of others to choose from)

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/65-24-panoramic-camera/id6447838860

Maybe we need to bring back some of that 2000s “design a physical device that would be super impractical to manufacture and just make it out of software” energy

I experimented with a lot of ideas on how to integrate iPhone 16's Camera Control with 65×24 in a way that made sense & enhanced the overall shooting experience

The expanding, fullscreen viewfinder design I landed on feels quite nice, almost like your phone is a dedicated camera

Just discovered the work of graphic designer Marie Neurath, and I am absolutely in love. 

This website overview of her work is just fantastic too https://www.marieneurath.org/

Hard at work on AgBr, a black and white film emulator for iPhone/iPad/Mac.

My most important realization of the last few months - and subsequently what I’ve struggled with a lot - is that the things you want to work on some day, you have to find a way to start working on them now.

New major version of 65×24 shipping this coming Monday!
It features a brand new immersive fullscreen shooting experience for iPhone 16 & Camera Control, and new iOS 18 integrations for all phones.

Here's a video about the new features!

48MP v 12MP detail comparison (in 65×24, go to Settings > Output > Use Highest Resolution to enable it on cameras that have it)

Definitely a noticeable improvement, I’m excited for the 48MP Ultra Wide on iPhone 16 Pro. And if the iPhone 17 has a 48MP Tele, I’ll be very happy 👀

Show me your .swiftlint.yml, I’ll tell you who you really are

If you are an app developer, one of the best things you can do right now for the future of image quality on screens everywhere is request JPEG XL APIs from Apple (eg by filing a Feedback).

Apple reposted a 2017 WWDC design talk I gave when I worked there as a designer. 7 years later, the core message is as valid as ever: make things with tools you’re familiar with, show them to people, learn from what they say

How is the year over in barely a month and a half?! 
There are still so many things I want to do in 2024, so much to build!

Here's to getting a couple more things out the door before the year is over!

Everyone tends to use the same language when describing their design work. Everything is "pixel perfect", "meticulously crafted", "carefully considered", "filled with gorgeous details", etc

I'm guilty of this
It's starting to feel stale to me & I want to try different directions

Fellow indie developer @sxp.studio is making AR creativity tools, and their first release is Shader Vision, a live shader composing environment for Vision Pro.

Congrats on shipping hopefully your first product of many!

https://youtu.be/4TiBP0loC7s

Well I guess this dashboard is telling me I should be charging more!?
jk no intention of changing prices 

But please check out 65×24 if you haven’t! Core features are free forever, there’s just an in app purchase to unlock advanced settings.

No subscription, no ads, no tracking

With newer iPhones and iOS 18, there's now a bunch of different ways you can quickly launch camera apps - I made a little video guide going through them all
