Introducing NeuralCam 7.0: The Complete AI Photography System

Pioneering AI-Powered Photography

Since our launch in 2019, NeuralCam has been at the forefront of AI-powered mobile photography. We began as the first iPhone camera app capable of shooting high-quality night photos, well before Night Mode was officially supported. Over the years, we've evolved into much more than just a night mode camera, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible with computational photography on smartphones.

Our journey has been marked by significant milestones:

1. NeuralCam 1.0-4.0: Pioneered Night Mode photography for all iPhones, followed by many smaller updates.
2. NeuralCam 5.0: Expanded into daytime photography with features like 48MP AI-enhanced photos, macro mode, and NeuralHDR
3. NeuralCam 6.0: Introduced auto-editing capabilities, including people removal and background replacement

And today, with NeuralCam 7.0, we're taking our biggest step forward yet.

NeuralCam v7: A New Approach to Mobile Photography

Now, with NeuralCam 7.0, we're introducing our 3-Step AI Photography Process - a comprehensive system that using a range of AI technologies from small “classic” Neural Nets to the largest of generative AI LLMs, it enhances every stage of taking photos. 

Before you press the shutter button, our AI Photo Coach helps you compose better shots. When you take the photo, our advanced multi-frame capture system ensures the highest possible image quality. And after capture, our AI-powered editing suite automatically transforms your photos through intelligent portrait effects, illumination enhancement, and professional color grading. This complete approach - from composition to capture to editing - represents a new way of thinking about mobile photography, where AI assists you at every stage to create better photos. Here's how our three-step approach works:

Step 1 - Composition: Create Better Composition with Vision LLM Guidance

No matter how advanced the technology, composition remains the heart of a great photograph. It's about how you frame your subject, the angles you choose, and the story you tell through your lens. While technology has made significant strides, mastering composition has largely remained a human endeavor.

Enter the era of multi-modal generative AI. Some have speculated that AI image generation might spell the end of photography as we know it. At NeuralCam, we believe that capturing real moments in the real world will always remain a powerful form of expression. The launch of ChatGPT's Vision model opened our eyes to the potential impact of AI on photography – not as a replacement, but as an intelligent assistant.

Introducing the NeuralCam Photo Coach

The AI Photo Coach is your personal photography expert built on the most powerful Vision LLMs available today. It provides real-time, step-by-step guidance to help you compose, capture, and perfect pro-level shots while building lasting skills.

The Photo Coach offers personalized advice on:

• Subject Selection: Identifying compelling subjects within your frame
• Composition Best Practices: Guiding you on framing techniques, angles, and perspectives
• Lighting and Exposure: Suggesting adjustments to make the most of available light
• Storytelling Elements: Helping you convey emotion and narrative through your photos

A Symbiotic Relationship

Using current AI industry terms, the AI Photo Coach isn't an "autonomous agent" taking the photo for you — it can't replace your unique vision or creativity. Instead, it serves more as a "co-pilot", enhancing your skills and helping you brainstorm and make the most of every shot. It offers expert guidance but you remain in control, making decisions that reflect your personal style.

This makes the Photo Coach valuable for users across the spectrum:

• Novice photographers can quickly learn the fundamentals and start capturing impressive shots
• Experienced shooters can use it as a brainstorming tool to explore new perspectives or overcome creative blocks

Step 2 - Capturing: Capture Higher Quality Photos

High-quality, low-noise images have been at the core of NeuralCam since we pioneered Night Mode photography. Now, we've significantly improved our core photography engine to bring that same smart capturing and frame merging technology to every photo you take - whether it's a bright daylight shot, a zoomed-in detail, or a nighttime scene. Here's how our advanced system ensures the highest possible quality:

• Auto-Capture Mode Selection: Automatically analyzes your scene and chooses the optimal capturing mode. In high-contrast scenes, it activates SmartHDR to preserve both highlights and shadows and preserve high detail in good lighting. In moderate lighting, it employs DeepFusion for enhanced detail, and in Night Mode, it uses a custom capturing setup. On devices where ProRAW is available, we also provide an "Unprocessed" option which returns a JPEG/HEIC rendering of the base ProRAW shot without the typical sharpening and heavy processing present in iPhone photos. This intelligent selection ensures you get the best possible image quality without having to think about technical settings.
• Advanced Frame Fusion: Our Smart Merging system can merge multiple frames in any capturing mode, bringing the benefits of multi-frame fusion to every shot you take. Whether you're shooting with SmartHDR, DeepFusion, or Night Mode, the system combines multiple frames to:
• Increase overall photo quality
• Capture more detail
• Reduce over-sharpening artifacts
• Increase overall quality of zoomed in shots

Step 3 - AI Auto-Editing: Perfect Your Photos with AI Editing

Auto-Editing Suite: Professional Results with a Single Tap

The cornerstone of NeuralCam 7.0 is our advanced Auto-Editing suite, which combines multiple powerful AI technologies:

1. Auto Portrait Mode: Our most sophisticated depth effect system yet brings professional-level depth to any photo, working seamlessly across all lenses, zoom levels, and distances – even in Night Mode. Using intelligent saliency detection, it automatically identifies and focuses on the main subject, dynamically adjusting bokeh strength based on the scene context. You can easily refocus after capture, and our smart system only applies the effect when it truly enhances the image.

2. Auto Illumination: Going beyond traditional HDR, our proprietary AI illumination algorithm adds a natural shine to your photos while maintaining authentic contrast. The system achieves a brightened look without the typical HDR artifacts, delivering consistent results across both daylight and nighttime shots.

3. Auto Style: Proprietary styles that are using custom-trained neural networks based on professional color graded images, enhancing visual impact while maintaining natural-looking results.

When these three technologies work in concert, they can transform a simple point-and-shoot photo into a professional-grade image.

Quick-Edit: Fine-Tune After Capture

While auto-editing works great, sometimes you want more control. Our new Quick-Edit feature brings the most commonly used AI and classic editing tools right into the capture flow. You can quickly adjust your photos before saving them. Classic controls are stored for future shots so that photos get auto-edited in your own style. Some of the quick-edit features include:

• Bokeh Adjustments: Refocus and adjust strength
• Illumination Control: Fine-tune the AI illumination
• Style Strength: Adjust the intensity of AI styles
• Classic Controls: Traditional editing tools like shadow adjustment, brightness control or white balance
