Boris - So far, so good on the new update! I see that cropping in the Apple Photos app still causes the magenta color tint. As a workaround, would it be possible for the team to consider a simple cropping tool within the Project Indigo film strip? I'm looking for the ability to do basic cropping/framing without having to go into Lightroom Mobile, crop there, re-export as a JPEG, and delete the original. Thoughts?

I presume you are still on iOS 18.x? The problem with editing in Apple Photos should be resolved in iOS 26, which is why it makes little sense for us to invest effort at this point in time to add such functionality. Do note that iOS 26 intruduces several new capabilities which are really needed for proper functioning of Indigo: they should help us fix some focus issues (a common complaint) and greately reduce image loss when the app is backgrounded after capture (a very common complaint), so we will be making a move to iOS 26 relatively soon.
I have been using PI on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. I upgraded to 17 Pro Max and it says not supported. Anyone have it working or will we need an update?

An update is required. It is in the works and we will release it as soon as it is ready.
Will there be a Project Indigo version for iPhone 17 Pro? I'm spoiled! Not eager to go back to working with RAW files...

We are working on a new release and hope to have it available in a week or two at most. Please stay tuned.
After updating to version 1.0.3 today, when I tried to use 3X and 6X, dark gray circular stains appeared on the screen. I wiped the lens and tried again, but the problem still existed.

Interesting. It looks to me like a lens smudge because if you take the 3x image and crop the center, the smudge appears exactly where I'd expect it for the 6x image. If you run the native camera app and point at the same scene, do these issues disappear?
When I took the same photo at 3x and 6x with the native camera, the stain disappeared.

There is a high probability that dust has entered the inside of my telephoto lens.

This does look like something on the lens to me, and it moves consistent with that hypothesis when you zoom from 3x to 6x. Not sure how to clan it though... shaking the phone may damage the auto-focus mechanism and/or lens alignment. 😕
Any chance to add a simple timelapse feature please? I would love to capture these lovely DNG files to a short 5-sec videos for my vlog shots. I mean, it's how crazy we can edit DNG files straight on iPhone through Lightroom Mobile, then export image sequences to video editor for RAW video on an iPhone nowadays.

Timelapse is on our backlog - it is not that difficult to do actually, but we are prioritizing other features which are more impactful immediately to a large number of customers: stability, performance, iPhone 17 and iOS 26 support, image quality, ... the list is long 🙂
@BorisTheBlade How does stacking frames work once you entered night mode? For example, I am using https://testufo.com/frameskipping to test 1/2s single frame, and 1/30s 15 frames. The squares captured should be the same on both but it isn't. Is it stacking 15 frames at 1/30s per frame? Perhaps you can test this as well, handheld vs on a tripod, which was what I did and keep framing as identical as you can.

In theory they should be the same, but in practice they won't be. This is, as many other things are, due to iPhone API limitations. In Night mode we run OIS (to enable longer exposure times without camera shake blur), which needs to be captured in brackets of up to 8 photos in a row. After a bracket is captured, there is a small delay (about 400ms I believe) before the next bracket can be captured. So you will likely see a gap in motion as you do that. This is easy to test with the Long Exposure feature and light trails. Not sure why this was Apple's design choice for the camera, but it is impossible to circumvent. We can either capture 1 frame in a bracket, so at least the gaps are uniform, but that would be super slow. Or we can capture without OIS, but then we couldn't use longer exposure times.
