**Adobe’s Indigo App Now Supports iPhone 17: Essential Details**
Recently, Adobe revealed the highly anticipated compatibility of its Indigo camera application with the iPhone 17 series. This enhancement follows multiple challenges related to iOS bugs, which notably affected the app’s performance with the new front camera capabilities introduced by Apple.
### Complete Support is Near
The iPhone 17 lineup features considerable improvements, including the new Center Stage front camera that automatically transitions between portrait and landscape modes depending on the subject in view. Furthermore, the rear cameras have undergone both software and hardware upgrades to meet professional photography demands.
Launched earlier this year, Adobe’s Indigo app provides users with extensive manual control over diverse camera settings such as focus, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and exposure compensation. However, transitioning to support the iPhone 17 was not without its difficulties. Adobe faced multiple bugs, especially with the front camera, which they communicated to Apple. A resolution is anticipated to be included in the forthcoming iOS 26.1 update.
### Update Information
Recently, Adobe has released an update that allows preliminary compatibility with the iPhone 17 series. While the app is operational on these devices, some features remain unavailable until the iOS 26.1 release. Adobe included the following details in their release notes:
– **Front Camera Functionality**: Currently inactive, but will be activated in the subsequent app version after the iOS 26.1 update.
– **Recent Modifications**: Users who upgraded to the iPhone 17 series may have missed the last app version (1.0.3), which presented several enhancements. Users are urged to visit the App Store for detailed release information.
– **User Insights**: A new survey has been incorporated into the app settings to collect user feedback for improving Indigo for mobile photography.
### Identified Issues on iPhone 17 Devices
The update identifies several known problems that users may face:
– The front camera is non-functional and will be turned on in the next version of the app.
– Under low-light conditions, users might encounter noisy images in Photo mode when ISO is set high. It is advisable to switch to Night mode or reduce ISO to 500 or lower.
– Auto Exposure may exhibit flickering in low-light Photo mode.
– Users could observe a brighter band at the lower edge of images taken with the 4× telephoto lens on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
### Enhancements for Other iPhone Models
This update also introduces improvements to Project Indigo for other iPhone models, including an enhanced auto-exposure algorithm for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
For those interested, Project Indigo is available on the App Store, and users are encouraged to explore its functionalities to elevate their mobile photography experience.
