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.

Filter Support, Japanese & Korean Languages

Filters now appear in the sidebar and are automatically added to metadata when saving frames. This update also brings Japanese and Korean language support, plus important bug fixes.

Filters logged on iOS now display in the macOS sidebar and are automatically embedded into EXIF metadata during reintegration. This completes your analog documentation by including UV, ND, CPL, and other filters in your final images. Camera serial numbers are now included in metadata, and we've fixed a bug where flash values were inverted. Frames is now available in Japanese and Korean, matching the iOS language expansion.

Filter Logging Support

Document your complete analog workflow by logging filters alongside your camera, lens, and film. Now you can record UV, ND, CPL, and other filters used for each shot.

Filters are now part of your film logging workflow. Record which filters you used for each frame, including UV, ND, CPL, and more. This completes your analog documentation by capturing every element that affects your final image, from the camera body and lens to the film stock and filters. Filter data is included in all exports and syncs with the Mac app for comprehensive record-keeping.

GPX Export & Faster File Generation

Pro users can now export film rolls as GPX files for location tracking. This update also brings performance improvements for faster, more reliable file exports across all formats.

Export your film roll locations as GPX files to visualize shooting locations in mapping applications or import into photo management software. Each frame with location data becomes a waypoint in the GPX track. File export performance has been improved across all formats, making it faster to generate .FRAMES, TXT, and GPX files even for film rolls with many frames.

We've consolidated scattered settings into one dedicated Settings page. Gear management, subscription details, and interface customization are all accessible from a single menu. This reorganization makes it easier to find what you need without hunting through different parts of the app. All existing functionality remains unchanged, just better organized for faster access.
