Camera App Obscura 4 Arrives With iPad Support, Simplified Settings

The updated app has been completely rebuilt to provide a faster and more intuitive photography experience.

Highlighting the new version is iPad support. The camera controls are similar to what’s found on the iPhone version and the Library features a sidebar to easily navigate albums. On the image detail view, you will also show the rating controls to make it easy to sort through photos.

Thanks to iPad keyboard support, you can also easily navigate the app and rate photos.

On both the iPhone and iPad, a new sharing interface will appear when exporting images in multiple formats. That will allow you to choose whether to export the original file or edited version, making it perfect for RAW users.

There is also a number of interface changes to make the app easier to use. The Exposure Dial now adjusts in 1/3 stop increments, just like a traditional camera. A haptic can also help you feel when you’re changing the stop.

A new dedicated button will allow quick access for the Library. And in the interface has also been improved so you will see recent photos. You can still quickly access Favorites.

Quick Settings have also been made easer to understand with clear labels and system menus with descriptive labels.
