I really like the photos Indigo is capturing. Please consider adding support for using the Apple Watch for remote shutter trigger. I'm eager to experiment with Indigo's Night Mode and long exposures. Being able to do that without touching the phone would be swell! Many thanks

Thank you for reaching out - this is indeed on our roadmap to do. For the time being you can set up a timed capture in Indigo (3, 5, or 10s), which will make sure the device is perfectly stable before the Long Exposure capture starts.
I was looking for a way to do that. Where are the controls to set thetimer?Nick Sewellhttp://nicksewell.com

Swipe left on the histogram area on top and you'll reveal an ancillary tools panel. It should show 5 icons: if you see only 3, that is because you have Button Shapes Accessibility feature turned off and Indigo doesn't react well to it (we are improving on that in the upcoming release btw). If you see 5 icons, then the timer will be the leftmost one.
@BorisTheBlade if I have 'button shapes 'ON', I see 3. If I have it OFF, I see 5. I am on ios26.

That is the expected behavior for now. In the next release we have tweaked this so that you always see 5 icons.
Hi,
Could you please include the option to enable the flash feature?
By @giofurlanetto
We will investigate adding flash to the pictures, though with computational photography that gets a bit harder to do: when capturing up to 32 frames, the LED flash on the back of the mobile device can either be run in full power mode for a very short time, or it can be run in low power (torch) mode for longer. In the former case, only a few of the 32 frames will have been exposed with the flash, making aligning and merging the image harder. For the latter case, the flash will be probably too weak to be helpful in many scenarios. If you have the time and are willing to share, I'd be curious to learn from you what are the situations in which you would prefer to have the flash capture option. Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, that makes sense. The kind of situation where I’d personally love to have a flash option is when taking photos like the one I attached. The flash helps make the person in the foreground stand out against the background, giving that nice effect, but I don't like the oversharpened effect the default camera creates.
I’ve also seen some AI tools that simulate a flash effect afterward, which shows there’s definitely an interest in this kind of look. Thank you for your time!

This helps clarify things. Will talk to the team about such a use case and see how we can add a potential solution to the roadmap.
Oh and just one last question, with the iPhone 17 Pro, would you be able to almost simulate an automatic variable ND filter? If so, that could be a big deal for video!
By @WillSnaps
Can you share what you envision this "automatic variable ND filter" would do when recording video? What kind of use-cases would it apply to, and what outputs do you wish to generate with it?
Sometimes it's not always convenient to edit in Lightroom after shooting in Indigo, and I would use the native iPhone (16 Pro Max, iOS 18.6.2) Photos app for quick changes, say cropping. I noticed that when I edit a JPEG+RAW file in Photos that a slight magenta/purple tint color shift occurs globally upon save, even if the only change is cropping. On revert, the color cast is removed.
Is there away to avoid this other than following the Lightroom workflow? Thank you.

This is a known issue in iOS 18. Apple fixed this problem in iOS 26, and we are waiting for more users to test it to verify that it is indeed completely resolved. Note that the Apple Photos app edits the JPEG version of the image, not the DNG, whereas when you open the image in Lightroom the DNG will be edited.
iPhone 17, that's 7, 17 Pro, and Air. Support, please!
Not to hijack the comment here, but you may want to look into the app "NoRaw" on the App Store. Assuming you're shooting JPEG+DNG in Indigo, the app will identify any Raw files or Photo pairs (Raw+DNG) and convert in batch to HEIF, preserving HDR. I've used it for awhile now to mass convert 48mp ProRaw files from the stock camera into HEIF, preserving ProRaw color science and detail. I think it's a $3 one time purchase and would solve your problem here.
By @Moonboots22
The truth is that HEIF/HEIC format requires a license, so we are using JPEG which is free to use. Regarding using 3rd party tools to convert Indigo DNGs to other formats, that will of course work in creating an image, but it will not preserve all the metadata and look information we embed into the DNG. While our DNGs are of course fully standard-compliant, only Adobe tools (Camera Raw and Lightroom) honor all the embedded metadata properly. As a consequence, you will get an image which looks much different (and much poorer) than the Indigo JPEG.
