- It uses image processing developed for their films.
- The app shoots stills, with no video yet.

## Summary

Rian Johnson has launched Chromagraph Camera, an iPhone photography app developed with his long-time cinematographer Steve Yedlin. It applies the image processing they use on films including *Brick*, *The Last Jedi* and the *Knives Out* series, offering users a curated version of their shared visual style.

The app shoots RAW and bypasses the iPhone’s usual image processing, with controls for colour, exposure, grain and halation; photos can be exported to the camera roll. It currently takes still photographs only, and Yedlin says it is not intended to replace Apple’s Camera app or provide all the control of a professional camera. His latest collaboration with Johnson was *Wake Up Dead Man*, the third *Knives Out* film.
