Inquiries Regarding My Camera Persist—It Is Merely This Application

Updated: Jul 5

Individuals presume I am in possession of a mirrorless camera or a vintage film apparatus. I am not. Whenever inquired about the equipment I utilized, I nearly feel remorseful confessing that it is really my phone—and a single application that transformed everything.


NeuralCam Enhances My Photography


Since 2019, NeuralCam's iOS applications have enhanced the capabilities of photographers. Initially, its primary focus was a night-mode-specific application; however, it has since expanded to encompass a comprehensive suite of photography applications, each enhancing photographic outcomes for all users. I appreciate the NeuralCam software for its ability to enhance my photographs, either softly or more overtly.


The settings of NeuralCam resemble, yet differ from, those typically encountered in other camera applications. Utilizing more sophisticated technologies, my photographs are unequivocally superior compared to those taken with alternative cameras or applications.


The device includes self-timers, an adjustable frame quantity for enhanced contrast depth, AI styles for photo application, brightening options, bokeh settings, and background features, in addition to typical functionalities such as white balance, exposure, and focus area.

The Pro edition of NeuralCam offers more features, including increased frame options, a larger aperture setting under the Bokeh tab, a greater selection of AI styles, and a broader range of other configurations.


Consequently, these camera settings originally enabled me to capture superior photographs, even prior to editing. My preferred aspect of NeuralCam's functionalities is the ability to apply them prior to capturing an image or subsequently, along with the ease of editing pre-applied parameters upon reviewing the outcomes. It is entirely adjustable; nevertheless, having it pre-configured significantly conserves time.

NeuralCam Excels with Night Mode


NeuralCam launched its inaugural app in 2019, emphasizing night mode photography. This application introduced night mode prior to its availability on the original iPhone camera.


NeuralCam is now applicable for all photographic genres, yet it excels most in night mode. The techniques in NeuralCam enhance the darkness in my photographs, whether capturing an evening sky or inside images of my cats in low light.

The latest iterations of the NeuralCam app include low noise settings and, inside the Pro plan, high detail and unprocessed modes for enhanced low-light photography. This encompasses AI upscaling techniques that can improve your photographs, regardless of lighting conditions.


Integrated and Automated Editing for Optimal Aesthetics


While you can select the camera settings prior to capturing an image, it is still possible to modify or apply them subsequently. Following the capture of a photograph, I enjoy exploring the editing functionalities of NeuralCam.


NeuralCam emphasizes the optimal version of your photograph using a before-and-after viewer, enabling you to perceive the nuanced distinctions. This assists you in determining the extent of editing required for your photo or if it appears superior directly from the camera.

The editing settings closely resemble the camera settings provided; however, they can be applied post-capture instead of being configured prior to taking the photograph. Having the choice for both is advantageous.


Upon capturing your photograph, selecting Adjust reveals an array of sliders. This encompasses bokeh intensity, AI illumination, style, style intensity, and additional options like as brightness and vibrance. If any of these settings were previously configured when you captured the photograph, the sliders will adjust accordingly to reflect that. You can retrospectively remove your settings in the post.


Enhancements in Selfie Focus and General Photography

While NeuralCam excels in enhancing photography, it is also an excellent tool for capturing superior selfies and portraits. One can still exhibit artistry while capturing selfies.


NeuralCam includes a timer with options of 2 seconds and 10 seconds, enabling you to position your iPhone on a tripod or a stable surface to perfect your pose in time.


All editing and stylistic capabilities are available while utilizing the selfie camera, allowing adjustments to exposure levels, AI styles, white balance, focus modes, and additional settings.


I appreciate that NeuralCam utilizes automatic portrait mode and facial color contrast for selfies and portrait photographs. This immediately enhances your photographs without any effort on your part. Simply capture a selfie, and you will be able to view both the original and altered copies of your photo to discern the differences with and without those settings.


I appreciate the bokeh effect and its ability to accentuate a human figure in selfies or photos. The iPhone's primary camera features a Portrait Mode, which performs a similar function; however, NeuralCam's bokeh tool offers customization. The iPhone's Portrait Mode lacks customization and frequently appears markedly artificial in comparison to an authentic shallow aperture effect.


NeuralCam Pro Gives Even More

The complimentary features and functionalities of NeuralCam are excellent. NeuralCam Pro offers enhanced capabilities for modifying many elements, including styling, editing, and the implementation of AI technologies, resulting in superior photographs.


NeuralCam Pro is available via a monthly subscription for $3.99. For this modest amount, NeuralCam provides additional features, including user override options for AI bokeh and AI illumination effects. You gain access to all photo AI styles, not solely the complimentary variations. Pro AI upscaling allows for enhancement to superior resolutions, including 24MP and 48MP.


The Pro edition additionally permits the selection of multiple frame grabs, thereby enabling the creation of HDR-style pictures by recording several frames at varying exposures and subsequently blending them to optimize the advantages of each exposure. Certain smartphone HDR options are ineffective, yet in NeuralCam, they are impactful.


Notable Pro features encompass the automatic elimination of extraneous individuals in your photographs, so conserving time and alleviating irritation when an otherwise exquisite image is compromised by background distractions. A backdrop removal tool is included that utilizes additional colors in the Pro version. The complimentary version exclusively provides white.


Premium Photography Coaching


The NeuralCam PhotoCoach serves as a portable photography assistance. PhotoCoach is an additional paid function available exclusively with the Pro plan, offering options for Pro just or Pro plus PhotoCoach, so excluding free users from its benefits. However, if you seek to enhance your understanding of photography, it is an excellent choice.


The PhotoCoach utilizes AI to provide recommendations for enhancing your photograph according to the subject matter and photographic genre. It provides three ratings out of ten for the subject, composition, and narrative aspects of photography.


This coach has a purpose beyond only capturing charming selfies or arbitrary photographs. It will effectively instruct you on the intricacies of a quality photograph, including optimal subject placement to enhance environmental lighting capture.


The capabilities and features of NeuralCam, together with the inclusion of an AI PhotoCoach, create the impression of possessing a professional-grade camera at my fingertips while utilizing this application. I need not invest hours laboring in Lightroom or Snapseed meticulously refining minute details—the AI adeptly enhances my photographs in a manner that best complements the subject.


The editing functionalities are user-friendly and yield remarkable outcomes that I am pleased to disseminate. They are understated and not overpowering, yet they really enhance my photographs. NeuralCam enables my photographs to captivate others effortlessly, despite minimal exertion in their production.
