TXT File Export for Film Logs

Pro users can now export film roll logs as TXT files, perfect for printing field notes or creating quick reference sheets for darkroom work.

Export your film roll metadata as plain text files. This format works well for printing compact reference sheets to keep in your camera bag or darkroom. Each TXT export includes all frame details, exposure settings, and notes in a clean, readable format that's easy to print or share with labs.

Full Accessibility Support & Recording Improvements

This update brings comprehensive Apple accessibility support along with improvements to recording workflow and metadata handling, making Frames more accessible and efficient for all film photographers.

Apple Accessibility Features

Frames now supports key Apple accessibility features including Larger Text, Dark Interface, Differentiate Without Color Alone, Sufficient Contrast, and Reduced Motion. These features ensure the app is usable for photographers with different visual needs and preferences, maintaining full functionality regardless of accessibility settings.

Workflow and Metadata Improvements

The app now jumps directly into your new film roll as soon as it's created, streamlining your workflow. Labels throughout the app have been refined for better readability. Custom sequences now automatically fill min/max aperture values, which is particularly useful for metadata reintegration on Mac. We've also fixed motion issues in the recorder when capturing shots with the slider open and corrected value initialization problems in full recorder view.

Custom Shutter Speed Sequences & Map Improvements

Set custom shutter speed sequences per camera, showing only the speeds your camera actually supports. This update also brings improved map handling, additional shutter speed options, and export progress indicators.

Custom Shutter Speed Control

Configure which shutter speeds appear in the recorder slider and frame settings on a per-camera basis. If your camera only has speeds from 1/1000 to 1 second, you can hide the extended range options. This keeps your recorder interface clean and prevents accidentally logging speeds your camera doesn't support. Custom sequences sync with the Mac app for consistent metadata across devices.

Enhanced Map and Export Features

Map view now handles coordinates more reliably with improved gesture support for panning and zooming. We've added commonly used shutter speeds (1/160, 1/80, 1/40, 1/20) that were previously missing. Export operations now show a progress indicator so you know when your files are being generated before the share sheet appears.

New Film Stocks, Redesigned Aperture System & Lens Switching

This update expands the film stock library with new emulsions, completely redesigns aperture management with custom f-stop sequences, and adds the ability to switch lenses directly from the recorder.

Expanded Film Stock Library

The film stock list now includes Harman Phoenix II, Lucky Color 200, Leica Monopan 50, and several other popular emulsions. Whether you're shooting experimental color films or classic black and white stocks, Frames supports a wider range of film types for more accurate logging.

Redesigned Aperture Management

Aperture control has been completely rebuilt. You can now define custom f-stop sequences per lens, showing only the apertures your lens actually has. The recorder slider is now properly centered on the selected aperture value. Switch lenses directly from the recorder without leaving your workflow, and set focal length via the More button for zoom lenses or perspective control adjustments.

DNG Raw File Support

You can now import DNG files alongside JPEG and TIFF, and reintegrate metadata directly into your raw images for a complete analog photography workflow.

Raw image support arrives on Frames for macOS. Import DNG files alongside your existing JPEG and TIFF workflows, and embed your film roll metadata directly into raw files. This ensures your exposure settings, camera data, film stocks, and notes travel with your raw images through post-processing and archival. We've also fixed an issue where additional notes for a frame were not retained during metadata reintegration.
