Apple LOG still photography mode?

Feature RequestLookPhotoNew Feature

Not sure if it would be technically possible to do, but I’d love to have the ability to set LOG as an input mode for still shots. That way I could use a film video LUT I already have and like when taking still shots. In still mode if I pick SDR or HDR and then pick my LUT and apply it at 27% or thereabouts it sorta mimics the look, but isn’t quite right. Any thoughts? There is another app in the App Store that appears to implement only this feature but the app is terrible so I won’t use it. Thanks!

    Technically possible, but comes with some limitations (for example, you won’t be able to use flash or capture 48 MP). If you’re planning to bake in LUTs, the output could be a regular photo. Otherwise, off the top of my head I’m not sure the best way to store log data in a still, at least in a way that other editing software would handle reasonably.

      Personally I’d be okay with being restricted to 12 MP in that context. I’ve sorta also settled on HEIF and no RAW as well as it seems to be the simplest to work with in other apps. So if it’s all baked down to P3 or something I’m fine with that.
