In recent years, smartphone cameras have begun producing images that appear excessively processed, leading to an unnatural look. This has prompted the development of new camera applications designed to capture images with minimal processing, with Halide Process Zero being the most notable example.
In June 2025, Adobe entered this sphere by introducing Project Indigo, an experimental camera app aimed at making your phone photos appear less like typical smartphone pictures.
The app provides full manual controls, allows shooting in both JPEG and raw DNG formats, and is available as a free download. After nearly a year of refining the app, Adobe is now expanding its compatibility to more devices.
Which new devices support Project Indigo?
The latest update introduces iPad compatibility. If your iPad possesses at least 6GB of RAM, you should be able to use it. This includes iPad Pro models from 2020 onward, M1 and later iPad Air models, the latest iPad mini, and the 11th-generation iPad. Additionally, the iPhone 17e was added to the list of supported devices with this update.

Adobe has stated that this is only "initial support" for iPads, and the app has yet to be optimized for the larger display. Therefore, do not expect an entirely flawless experience immediately; however, it's a promising beginning.
I installed the app on my 11-inch iPad Pro without any problems. Nonetheless, the app appears to have difficulty with portrait-to-landscape rotation. When switching the iPad to landscape mode, the viewfinder remains in portrait orientation. In my trials, activating orientation lock resolved the issue.

What other new features come with this update?
In addition to increased device support, this update incorporates several enhancements that improve user experience. A new grid view in the filmstrip makes it simpler to locate photos and select multiple images simultaneously for sharing or deletion. You can also utilize this multi-selection feature to directly import several photos into Lightroom mobile.
Another helpful addition is filtering. You can now toggle between All Photos, your Indigo Album, and Favorites in both the filmstrip and grid views. The update also includes an option to show the 35mm equivalent focal length for rear cameras, which can be enabled in the Capture settings.
If you haven't tried the Project Indigo app on your iPhone, I highly recommend giving it a shot. I've been using it for a few months and have been impressed by the quality of the images produced.
