Dec 26, 2023
Version 10.28
● Important 4K Capture Bug Fix !
---
● Also, very importantly, as always, NO Ads, & NO Tracking !
---
● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, Photosets offers support for "two" Burst Photo Capture Engines, each based-upon a different Apple Camera Framework:
1.) High-Performance, High-Precision (Timing) capture engine that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during burst photo capture of JPEG, HEIC, & Lossless.
2.) Native RAW capture engine that ALSO does NOT generate a Shutter sound during burst photo capture.

Version 10.26
● Important Enhancements, Refinements, & Bug Fixes !
---
● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, Photosets offers support for "two" Burst Photo Capture Engines, each based-upon a different Apple Camera Framework:

---
● Important Note for top-tier VCs & potential Corp Partners:
● What we're up-to & what we're pursuing is different than ALL other App Developers.
● At least those we know about.
● We did NOT design & develop Photosets for capturing & collecting (custom) AI/ML Training Data.
● It's just something we figured-out that it specializes-in earlier this year.
● We are extremely well-positioned for the pivot from Static to Dynamic Content.
● Also, & very importantly, we've divided Photosets into two versions, a Base / App Store version & our In House version.
● With the ONLY difference between the two being the Capture Durations, up-to 25 photos/set with the Base vs up-to 75 photos/set with our In House.
● And here we're referring to the app's High-Performance, High-Precision (Timing) Burst Photo Capture Engine, which is based-upon a different Apple Camera Framework than what Apple uses for their native Camera App.
● Simply put, our In House version supports alot more Applications/Use-Cases.
● And, very importantly, it produces Neutral-looking Photos, vs the (ISP-processed) Fusion-based Photos produced by Apple's native Camera App & ALL other third-party Camera Apps.
● The significance of that should NOT be under-estimated by anyone in the AI/ML Training Data field !
---
● Please note that the App Store Ratings for Photsets was Reset upon the Release of this update, v10.26.

version 10.25

Sep 1, 2023
Version 10.25
● Important Refinements !
● Among other things we've Dropped the app's Photosets+ sub.
● We had simply UNDER-estimated its value for Capturing & Collecting AI/ML Training Data.
● That leaves two versions, the Base version (i.e., the App Store version) & our In House version.
● As always, see our website for ALL the Tech Specs !
---
● Also, & just as important & perhaps more-so, on Wed, Aug 30th, 2023, it hit us that Photosets (already) supports a form of "Deferred Photo Processing" !
● Specifically, with its High-Performance, High-Precision (Timing) Burst Photo Capture Engine.
● And, it has done so since late-2015 !
● So naturally we're now gonna make a very BIG deal about it :) !

● i.) Our In House version of Photosets will soon become Available via an Uber/Lyft/DoorDash-style business model !
● It's intended for our upcoming SFMS Video streaming service !
● ii.) SFMS = Short Form, Multi-Scene.
● iii.) See the table at the bottom of our website's homepage, plus the Notes below it, for an Overview of Photosets.
---
● High-Performance, "High-Precision" (Timing) Burst Photo Camera + Short-Form, 60-scene Video Maker (with Rock Solid A/V Sync) !
● Capture up-to "20" 12 Mpx photos/set, "25" 4K photos/set, OR "25" 8 Mpx photos/set, User-controlled on a per photo set basis, & on select iPhones, also optionally concurrently capture Audio data !
---
● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, Photosets offers support for "two" Burst Photo Capture Engines, each based-upon a different Apple Camera Framework:
1.) High-Performance, High-Precision capture engine that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during burst photo capture of JPEG, HEIC, & Lossless.
2.) Native RAW / Apple ProRAW capture engine that does generate a Shutter sound during burst photo capture of Apple ProRAW, but NOT of Native Raw.
---
● If that's confusing, here's a Quick & Easy Way to figure-out which of the "two different types" of Photos produced by Apple's Camera Frameworks you may currently be capturing:
● Specifically, ISP-processed "Fusion" Photos vs. "Neutral-looking" Photos.
● When using ANY Camera on an iPhone OR iPad, native OR third-party, if you hear a Shutter sound, you're (typically) capturing ISP-processed "Fusion" photos.
● If you don't, you're (typically) capturing "Neutral-looking" photos !
● With Photosets, replace "typically" with "always"; with other Camera Apps, you'll need to ask them.

version 10.22

Jun 12, 2023
Version 10.22
● Important Refinements & Bug Fixes !
● Among other things, the Camera's Audio Capture & the Video Maker's A/V Sync function are now more Robust !
---
● Also, we've added a new "Image Stabilization" (IS) status indicator to the Camera's UI to Help Users understand where they're at, Image Stabilization-wise, as well as the Pros & Cons of each Capture Mode.
● In particular notice the difference with 4K with & without concurrent Audio capture.

version 10.21

May 23, 2023
Version 10.21
● Important Enhancements & Refinements !
● Among other things, we've RE-structured the app !
● We've added Key Features & Capabilities to the Base version of the app, & significantly increased its value !
● E.g., if you're using any one of the six newer "Pro" OR "Pro Max" iPhones (12P, 12PM, 13P, 13PM, 14P, OR 14PM), you now have access to the app's capture support for Lossless, Native RAW, & Apple ProRAW.
● Please note that the app's On-the-Fly Video Maker is disabled in this update; we plan to RE-enable it in the next update.

version 9.60

Aug 19, 2022 Version 9.60
● Too early to tell, but this could be the start of another BIGGIE !
● We've added a 1st cut of what we refer to as pseudo 8K Capture !
● Specifically, 4K capture that is Upscaled to 8K !
● Note that the Upscale Operation is performed on captured "UN-compressed" Photos directly in the app's Capture Pipeline !
● There is added delay, but "the Quality is Highest" with this approach.
● JPEG is good to go !
● HEIC ends-up with the wrong ICC Color Profile, sRGB, instead of P3 D65 (aka Display P3).
● Next up for us is resolving the HEIC ICC Color Profile issue, & then Updating the app's two Video Makers to support 8K.
● Please note that this implementation is NOT AI-based, but that's where we're heading with it :) !
● In fact, that's where we got the idea !
● pseudo 8K Capture is available on ALL 11, 12, & 13 "Pro" & "Pro Max" iPhones !
● With it, just-like with the other Capture Resolutions, you can capture up to "24" photos per set !
---
● Please also note that this Update includes a Placeholder for a near-future "Hire an Expert" option.
● It's related to our near-future Uber/Lyft/DoorDash-style Video Ad Maker service offering.
---
● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing UN-compressed Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture support, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Note also that the app's App Store Rating was Reset upon the Release of this Update !
---
● As a reminder, we stopped using Apple's In App Ratings Dialog in the last update of Photosets, v9.59.
● But that doesn't mean we don't welcome User Ratings (& Reviews).
● It simply wasn't working for us & Photosets.
● If possible, please visit the App Store to Rate & Review the app; thanks in advance !
● By our count, Photosets has had "315" App Review Update Approvals since the last App Store "User Review" here in the States !

version 9.47

May 9, 2022 Version 9.47
● Our first-ever "Burst Photo Modeling" Product Marketing Update !
● There are NO code changes in this update !
● The screenshots include "our" custom Watermark (strictly as an Example).
---
● Important Notes:
● 1.) ALL photos & videos captured by the Camera will be stored only inside Photosets.
● 2.) All photos & videos stored inside Photosets are (also) accessible via your native Files app.
● 3.) Red Shutter = Long Press, Blue Shutter = Single Tap.
● 4.) From Home, swipe to the Left to transition to the Camera.
● 5.) From the Camera, swipe to the Right to transition to Home.
● 6.) Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing UN-compressed Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
● 7.) The app does NOT track you, & does NOT have ANY ads !
● 8.) "AirDrop with HSPX" is for App-to-App transfers; e.g., transferring photo sets from an instance of Photosets running on an iPhone OR iPad, to another instance of Photosets running on an M1 Mac, OR, e.g., if you have an iPad, you can turn it into a "Multi-User" Video Maker simply by making sure the iPhones that send it Burst Photo Sets use "AirDrop with HSPX".

version 9.46

May 1, 2022 Version 9.46
● Important Refinements !
---
● Important Notes:
● 1.) ALL photos & videos captured by the Camera will be stored only inside Photosets.

version 9.19

Nov 30, 2021 Version 9.19
● This is an Extremely Important Update !
● If you like High-Performance & Rock Solid, this Update is for You !
● Fixes a 4K Burst Photo Capture issue, specific to the "12" & "13" iPhones !
● The important thing to know is that Photosets is now just as Rock Solid on "12" & "13" iPhones, as it is on "11" iPhones !
● Also, Photosets now supports up-to "60" 4K photos per set on the 6 GB iPhones !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 9.18

Nov 25, 2021 Version 9.18
● Updated the Power User support !
● Specifically, the Power User IAP now directly-controls three things in the app (used to be ONLY two):
● The Power User switch,
● the Intelligent Camera Startup switch,
● & now also the app's Default Watermark "Branding" (which becomes Automatically Disabled when the IAP is installed).
● The Power User IAP is available on ALL iPhones & iPads with a 12 Mpx Back Camera & 2.95 GB or more of DRAM.
● To capture more than "30" photos per set, both the Power User switch & the Intelligent Camera switch MUST be set to ON.
● To capture more than "20" Full-Res 12 Mpx photos per set, OR more than "25" 4K photos per set, the Power User switch MUST be set to ON.
● Simply put, in addition to NO Default Watermarking, the Power User IAP gets you Higher Capture Performance !
● And here we define Higher Capture Performance to mean both longer-duration Burst Photo Set capture runs, as well as Higher Cycle-to-Cycle Timing Performance !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 9.15

Nov 15, 2021 Version 9.15
● Code Review, Code Cleanup & (Low-Level) Verification-based Refinements & Bug Fixes !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, Apps in Background / Suspended State will limit your capture performance !
● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.

version 9.14

Nov 10, 2021 Version 9.14
● Adds an Important 3rd-cut of the app's On-the-Fly Video Maker !
● As such, you can now use either of the app's Video Makers, the 60-scene OR the On-the-Fly, for innovative signature applications like Crack of the Bat™ !
● As a reminder, the (shared) Video Maker A/V Sync function is accurate to +- 1 ms !
● That means both Video Makers can be used for Professional applications !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, Apps in Background / Suspended State will limit your capture performance !
● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.

version 9.13

Nov 8, 2021 Version 9.13
● Adds an Important 2nd-cut of the app's On-the-Fly Video Maker !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, Apps in Background / Suspended State will limit your capture performance !
● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.

version 9.12

Nov 6, 2021 Version 9.12
● Another NON-trivial, High-Value update !
● First, it includes Camera Performance Improvements !
● Second, we've added "a 1st-cut of" an On-the-Fly Video Maker !
● You can think of it as an On-the-Fly version of Photosets' existing Video Maker, controlled by the Camera's Capture Engine !
● If you set the Camera Settings Dialog's new "Video Maker" switch to ON, just-after storing the captured Burst Photos, Photosets will (then) make a short-scene Video of what you just captured !
● You can think of it as an Alternative Option to strictly capturing Burst Photos.
● Please note there is added delay with this approach, so it's NOT a good fit for ALL applications.
● Please also note that Add Audio, Append Slideshow, & Add Captions, are (currently) ALL set to OFF for the On-the-Fly Video Maker, but this will soon change !
● Additionally, FYI, we added the On-the-Fly Video Maker primarily because we believe there is a lot of value in combining Photosets' existing shutter modes, & especially its Long Press shutter mode, with an auto-enabled (short-scene) Video Maker.
● But also because we believe some Users may simply prefer it because of what it offers, convenience in making a short-scene Video along with capturing Burst Photos.
● We do plan to Fast Track "the 2nd cut" !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, Apps in Background / Suspended State will limit your capture performance !
● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.
---
● Also as a reminder, you can use the app's fairly-new "CPU Benchmark Test" to Benchmark your A-series OR M-series chip !
● UN-like other benchmarks, it enables you to make Apples-to-Apples comparisons between A-series & M-series chips !
● If you Run the test, you'll typically need to "Re-Run the Test" at least once to hit your Max Performance numbers.

version 9.11

Nov 1, 2021 Version 9.11
● Important Refinements !
● Among other things, the following four iPads can now be used as a Multi View Capture (MVC) "slave" in an MVC networking session !
● 2021 12.9" iPad Pro
● 2021 11" iPad Pro
● 2021 8.3" iPad mini
● 2020 10.9" iPad Air
● As a reminder, ONLY our companion macOS mac, Photosets TV, can currently be used as the MVC "master".
● We're working on adding MVC "master" support for the four iPads listed above, plus the 11, 12, & 13 "Pro Max" iPhones, but we're NOT there yet.
● Also as a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, Photosets' MVC feature currently works best when using your device's "Personal Hotspot" capability.
---
● We've also added a new IAP, called "Power User".
● It's needed to capture more than "30" photos/set, as well as to get ALL of the benefits of Photosets' Secret Sauce-based "High-Precision" Capture Engine !
● It's also needed to get ALL of the benefits of Photosets' short-scene Video Maker !
● It's available on ALL iPhones & iPads with a 12 Mpx Back Camera & 2.95 GB or more of DRAM.
● Except for the restrictions imposed by the Power User IAP, ALL of the Features & Capabilities of what had been the Premium User IAP are included in the Base version of the app !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 9.10

Oct 31, 2021 Version 9.10
● This update represents the culmination of a week's worth of Camera Discovery & Config "code improvements" !
● Of Note, now supports the 12 Mpx Ultra-Wide Front Camera in the 2021 8.3" iPad mini & in the 2021 10.2" iPad !
● Also of Note, now supports RAW DNG Capture with ALL six of the 11, 12, & 13 "Pro" iPhones !
---
● Also, Photosets now Records the amount of Available DRAM right after being "freshly" launched (i.e., @ the very start of loadView), & Reports the number in the CPU Benchmark Test's Results Dialog.
● Those Skilled in the Art can use this additional information to help determine the impact that apps in Background / Suspended State may have on Performance.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 9.8

Oct 25, 2021 Version 9.8
● Another BIGGIE, this update includes Important Enhancements, (Camera Capture Pipeline) Refinements & Bug Fixes !
● Among other things, this update adds a 1st-cut of RGBX Capture support !
● We define it as "Innovative Container File (support) for JPEG & HEIC".
● With it, we intend to lead the transition to 10-bit Color (& Depth Data-enabled) Burst Photo Capture !
● And Yes, .rgbx will be the native format (for photos) on our Burst Photo & short-scene Video version of YouTube !
● In its current state, you can think of it as a Proof of Concept for VCs & Early Adopters :)
● Please note that you'll need one of the following to enable support for RGBX Capture:
● 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max
● 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max
● 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max
● M1 iPad Pro
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, Apps in Background / Suspended State will limit your capture performance !
● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.
---
● Also as a reminder, you can use the app's fairly-new "CPU Benchmark Test" to Benchmark your A-series OR M-series chip !
● UN-like other benchmarks, it enables you to make Apples-to-Apples comparisons between A-series & M-series chips !
● If you Run the test, you'll typically need to "Re-Run the Test" at least once to hit your Max Performance numbers.
● Please make sure there are NO photo sets in the app before Kicking Off the Test.

version 9.7

Oct 20, 2021 Version 9.7
● Important Refinements & Bug Fixes !
---
● Also, it's NO secret that we've wanted to create a Burst Photo & short-scene Video version of YouTube !
● We believe the timing is now perfect for us to do so !
● The Market is Significantly Over-Heated, & we're well-positioned to Capitalize with the Single-Best UN-Discovered Gem App in the entire iOS App Store !
● It's an Innovative, High-End, yet 100% FREE, Camera App, NO less !
● Most importantly, Photosets is now Fully Ready to play its part !
● As such, this Update represents an Important Business Strategy "pivot" more than anything !
● Make NO mistake, there are Advantages to Flying under the Radar for over six years in the iOS App Store !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.

version 9.5

Oct 13, 2021 Version 9.5
● This is a Business Strategy update !
● Simply put, we believe a change is necessary for Photosets to achieve its Full Market Potential.
● The important thing to know is that ALL of the Features & Capabilities of what had been the Premium User IAP have been folded-into the Base version of the app !
● You can think of it as "Premium without the Premium Pricing" !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.

version 9.4

Oct 10, 2021 Version 9.4
● The CPU Benchmark Test now includes an intelligent "Prepare Camera" mode that you can use to Prepare the Camera for Higher Capture Performance !
● It's intended for those times when your iPhone OR iPad had been idle for awhile, & you want high capture performance as soon as you get into the Camera; which if you know how iOS manages DRAM, isn't always possible (without assistance).
● As before, the CPU Benchmark Test is available on ALL iPhones & iPads with 3.1 GB or more of DRAM.
● Also as before, you can use the CPU Benchmark Test (& now, both modes) to circumvent the Capture Timing Requirement used by the app's Intelligent Camera Startup feature.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple (Video-oriented) Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.

version 9.0

Sep 21, 2021 Version 9.0
● Another BIGGIE (& NOT just because this update represents App Approval #300 for Photosets, with the first being on June 10, 2015) !
---
● First, we've added an innovative "CPU Benchmark Test," that leverages Photosets' Capture Engine !
● It reports STATs for Capture, as well as Post for sRGB JPEG, P3 D65 JPEG, & P3 D65 HEIC !
● It's a First of Its Kind Real-World (Benchmark) Test !
● The significance of this Test should NOT be UNDER-estimated by anyone, it's BIG, potentially very BIG !
---
● Simply put, it is perhaps the most-Important & most-Valuable "Educational Tool" ever in ANY Camera App !
● Above ALL, it will will provide you with valuable Insight into how the planet's most-advanced & highest-performance Burst Photo Camera App operates !
● Which in-turn, can help you (quickly) Master the App !
---
● Second, if you're running Photosets on a Tier 1 iPhone OR iPad you'll now experience Higher Capture Performance !
● A direct result & benefit of us having the CPU Benchmark Test (In House) to (further) fine-tune Photosets' Capture Engine !
---
● Third, on Tier 1 iPhones with 6 GB of DRAM, you'll now be able to capture up-to "60" 4K photos per set @ 30-60 fps !
● And naturally, that's with Photosets' Best-in-Universe High-Precision Capture Engine !
---
● Fourth, we've added a 3rd-cut of per-Video Scene Caption support !
● It's now more Powerful, more Flexible, & more Robust !
● As a reminder, the HSPC File Format is:
● Set Number, Caption, X Pos, Y Pos, Font Size, Font Color, Font Type, Photo Range;
● Please refer to the example in the What's New Description for v8.52.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.

version 8.55

Sep 14, 2021 Version 8.55
● Now starts up in the Home View (vs in the Camera) !
● We made the change because the short-scene Video Maker is now a BIG part of the app, & it's accessible (ONLY) via the bottom Toolbar in the Home View.
● As a reminder, when in the Home View, you can Swipe to the Left to transition to the Camera, OR tap the Camera icon in the bottom Toolbar.
● When in the Camera, you can Swipe to the Right to transition back to the Home View, OR tap the Home icon.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.

version 8.54

Sep 5, 2021 Version 8.54
● Important Refinements !
---
● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, Photosets was Kicked Off as an R&D Project just-after Labor Day Weekend in 2014.
● As such, we're now coming-up on our 7-year R&D Anniversary !
● As such, you can think of this update (v8.54) as our 7-year R&D Anniversary Edition !
● For those who are UN-aware, Photosets has been a rare, true Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera App since the early days of the 2016 7+ !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.

version 8.53

Aug 30, 2021 Version 8.53
● We've taken the Burst Video Maker's per-Video Scene caption support to the next level !
● You can now position captions anywhere in the Video Scenes, as well as specify their font size, font color, & font type, ALL on a per-Video Scene basis !
● And naturally, for Photosets, it's ALL based-upon expanding the .hspc file structure:
● Set Number, Caption, X Pos, Y Pos, Font Size, Font Color, Font Type, Photo Range;
● The first two are Required, the others are Optional.
● The Burst Video Maker now works with two (similar) .hspc file structures: 
● i.) two items with one comma between them, & with a semicolon at the end, 
● ii.) eight items with seven commas between them, & with a semicolon at the end.
---
● The Photo Range option gives you additional flexibility; if you're just starting-out, & your UN-sure about this one, just set it to 1-60.
● If xPos & yPos are specified, they both must be in the range of 0.0 to 1.0, where {0.0, 0.0} is Top Left, & {1.0, 1.0} is Bottom Right.
● If Font Size is specified, it must be greater than 10, otherwise it defaults to 100.
● If Font Color is specified, it must be RGB in Hex, & must start with #.
● For example, #FF0000, to specify Red.
● If the Photo Range Min is set to 101, the Photo Range Max represents a Fav-tagged photo (this part NOT yet implemented).
---
● Here is an example .hspc file:
08,Giants, 0.2, 0.35, 95,#FD5A1E, ,56-60;
08,Dodgers, 0.25, 0.4, 100,#005A9C, ,51-55;

09,SD, 0.2, 0.35, 95,#FFFF00, ,1-5;
---
● Also, we've added-back the app's Premium User IAP.
● Specifically, the ability to Purchase OR Restore it.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, Apps in Background / Suspended State will limit your capture performance !
● Such apps do NOT consume processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM.

version 8.51

Aug 24, 2021 Version 8.51
● Fixed a Bug in the Burst Video Maker's ALL-important A/V Sync function !
● As a reminder, the A/V Sync function is "the companion" to the Camera's (concurrent) Audio Capture capability.
● The two work together, & combined they represent a Significant Engineering Accomplishment !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.

version 8.48

Aug 11, 2021 Version 8.48
● Another BIGGIE ! ... this Update includes Important Enhancements & Refinements !
---
● Among other things, the per-Set Share feature (i.e., the Vertical ScrollView on the Home View) now supports sending sets of photos, up-to "60" photos per set, packaged in HSPX files !
● As a reminder, HSPX is a custom Container File Format that Photosets has supported for over five years !
● It enables direct Photosets-to-Photosets transfers, & as such, the making of "multi-User" short-scene Videos !
● Sending is trivial, there is nothing special you'll need to do except for having the In App Settings' "AirDrop with HSPX" switch set to ON, Photosets takes care of ALL of the details.
● Receiving requires you to copy each .hspx file into the Photosets/HSPX folder of your Files app.
● When it becomes the Foreground app, Photosets will Decode the contents of each .hspx file, & set the photos up in the app's File Manager as if they were captured by the camera, with one exception, photo files start with hspx_ to distinguish them from photos captured by the camera (which start with hsp_).
● To the Burst Video Maker they look the same !
● As such, you can make "multi-User" short-scene Videos with this technique !
● And, if you have a Mac & would like to experiment OR play-around with HSPX, we highly-recommend you check-out our Photosets TV macOS app, it's our FREE purpose-built companion app for Photosets !
● Simply launch it in the "Burst Photo Set Media Player" mode.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 8.45

Jul 23, 2021 Version 8.45
● Adds a brand-new Capture Mode, we call "Fireworks Mode" !
● But it's NOT just for Capturing Fireworks, it's for anytime you want to Capture Max-size Burst Photo Sets in Rapid Succession (i.e., Back-to-Back with MIN setup delay between sets) !
● This Update also includes Important Timing Refinements to the Camera's (Secret Sauce-based) Capture Pipeline !
● Fireworks Mode was inspired by recent visits to Seaworld :)
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 8.44

Jul 18, 2021 Version 8.44
● Hopefully we're NOT sounding like a Broken Record, but YES, this Update is another BIGGIE !
● Among other things, the Burst Video Maker now supports up-to "60" independent Video Scenes, that's 1/3 more than before !
● But, that's NOT the BIG news with this update, it's the brand-new per-Set "Share Manager" !
● It offers you two Important Benefits:
● i.) It's simply a much better solution than what Photosets had offered; now, much more Efficient & Effective !
● ii.) It's based-upon the same Vertical Scrollview code that's used by the Burst Video Maker's (Video Scene) "Order Selection" feature.
● That means once you've Master one, you'll basically already know how to Master the other !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 8.43

Jul 14, 2021 Version 8.43
● Another BIGGIE, & Time for us to Make a BIG Splash !

● That's 50% more than before !
● This means you can now craft Burst Videos up-to "3" minutes in length !
● As a reminder, when the Burst Video Maker's Append Slideshow switch is set to ON, ONLY your Fav-tagged photos will be appended to the tail-end of the Video.
● And, the Editor is where you Fav-tag your Favorite photo(s) of each set; up-to five photos per set !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

● As a reminder, the Burst Video Maker enables you to make Burst Videos with up-to "30" independent scenes, where each scene is represented by an independent Burst Photo Set !
● It leverages the "High-Precision" Burst Photo Capture in the Camera, & it includes custom Audio/Video sync support for whenever you concurrently capture Audio !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, with Photosets & Photosets TV you can now Live Stream the Camera's Live Preview from your iPhone to your Mac, & control the Camera's Shutter from your Mac !
---
● Also, the best way to figure-out which UN-Discovered Apps are actively being Developed & which ones are NOT, is to look at their Version History.

version 8.38

Jun 16, 2021 Version 8.38
● Adds a 2nd-cut of Multi View Capture (MVC) !
● Most importantly, you can now control Photosets' Burst Photo Camera Shutter from your Mac computer (with Photosets TV) !
● MVC supports (1) Master + up-to (3) Slaves per MVC session.
● Each MVC Slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC Master.
● The MVC Master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session.
● As a reminder, MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone.
● Please note that Photosets TV, our purpose-built companion macOS app for Photosets, is currently the ONLY supported MVC Master.
● Please also note that the Remote Shutter capability currently ONLY works with Photosets' "Single Tap Shutter" option (i.e., Long-Press is currently NOT supported).
● Also, we highly recommend you try-out Multi View Capture first via the "Personal Hotspot" wireless network capability between your iPhone(s) & Mac, which is how we did most of our testing.
---

● Also as a reminder, Photosets has been a rare, true Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera App since the early days of the 2016 iPhone 7+ !

version 8.27

Mar 4, 2021 Version 8.27
● Important Enhancements & Refinements !
● Adds (a first-cut of) the User Interface for a brand-new Flagship-caliber feature we call "Multi View Capture" (MVC) !
● Photosets' MVC supports (1) Master + up-to (2) Slaves per MVC session.
● Each MVC Slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC Master @ 3 fps, 10 fps, OR 30 fps.
● The MVC Master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants of the MVC session.
● Photosets' MVC is a custom low latency implementation & strictly one Camera View per iPhone.
● Please note that while the UI is Enabled, the feature's Networking functionality is currently Disabled; we plan to Enable it in a near-future update.
● Please see In App Settings / Advanced Settings / Multi View Capture for the relevant MVC controls.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 8.26

Feb 15, 2021 Version 8.26
● Important Fine-Tune Adjustments !
● Higher Performance !
● More Robust !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

version 8.25

Feb 2, 2021 Version 8.25
● Important UI Bug Fix !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, Photosets will use the newest .png OR .PNG photo in your Photosets/Watermarks folder as your Custom Watermark !
● 900x900 OR smaller is Best.
● Please note that you do need the "NO Watermark" In-App Purchase (IAP) whenever you want to (optionally) add your own Custom Watermark during photo capture.
● Please ALSO note that a photo set's Full Capture Cycle is 2x-3x FASTER when NO Watermark is added during photo capture.
---
● Also as a reminder, mastering the "Power User" & "Intelligent Startup" switches (both OFF by Default) is the Key First Step to Mastering the App.
● Both switches must be set to ON to capture more than "30" photos per set.

version 8.23

Jan 27, 2021 Version 8.23
● Another BIGGIE, & this time, NOT just for Technical Reasons !
● 1.) Adds support for capturing up-to "50" 4K photos per set @ 60 fps on select Apple mobile devices !
● 2.) Adds support for capturing up-to "60" 8 Mpx photos per set @ 30 fps on select Apple mobile devices !
● 3.) Adds support for a brand-new In-App Purchase (IAP), "NO Watermark," which directly controls the app's Default Watermark support.
● Specifically, it is needed to Disable the Default Watermark during photo capture.
● It is ALSO needed to optionally add your own Custom Watermark during photo capture.
● 4.) Updated the app's "Key Notes" section (accessible via the Home View's Main Menu).
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).

● Both switches must be set to ON to capture more than "30" photos per set.

version 8.22

Jan 22, 2021 Version 8.22
● Two Key Enhancements !
● 1.) The Default Watermark is NO longer added during capture AFTER you've Rated & Reviewed the App !
● 2.) Support for capturing "40" photos per set (@ 30 fps) is enabled AFTER you've Rated & Reviewed the App !
● Please note that Photosets supports capturing "40" photos per set (@ 30 fps) ONLY on the following 12 Apple mobile devices:
● iPhones: 7+, 8+, Xs, Xs Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max
● iPads: 2020 Air 4

version -

version 8.20

Jan 10, 2021 Version 8.20
● Important Bug Fix !
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, there is NO Default Watermark with the "Pro" IAP !
● You can, however, have your own Custom Watermark added during Photo Capture (with the "Pro" IAP) !
● For this case, the most-recently added photo in your Photosets/Watermarks folder is used as your Custom Watermark (accessible via your Files app).
---
● Also as a reminder, to capture more than "30" photos per set (i.e., "40" photos per set, the Max supported by Photosets), both the "Power User" & "Intelligent Startup" switches must be set to ON, & the time since your Last Good Burst Photo Capture Run MUST be less than 5 minutes.
● This applies to ALL three of the app's supported Back Camera Capture Resolutions, 8 Mpx, 4K, & Full-Res 12 Mpx, as well as to the Front Camera.

version 8.17

Dec 30, 2020 Version 8.17
● This one is for the "Power Users" !
● Specifically, it includes three Important Fine-Tune Adjustments to the Camera, two related to Performance & one related to Efficiency, & two ONLY applicable to Apple mobile devices with the app's ONE & ONLY In-App Purchase, "Pro".
---
● Regarding one of the Performance Improvement, if you've got the "Pro" IAP you can now capture up-to "40" photos per set from a Fresh Launch of the app !
● For this case, you'll need to have both the Power User & the Intelligent Startup switches set to ON.
● Please note that both of these switches now need to be set (to ON) ANYTIME you want to capture more than "30" photos per set.
---
● Regarding the other Performance Improvement, this update includes an Important Refinement to the Burst Photo Capture Rate Control.
● The important thing to know is that when you've got the Control set to either 10 fps OR 15 fps, the Exposure Duration matches the Capture Rate.
● This happens automatically at 30 fps, but NOT at slower Capture Rates.
● We intentionally extended the Exposure Duration at 10 & 15 fps, so that Photosets offers Users more application flexibility & creative control.
---
● Regarding the Efficiency Improvement, we've added brand-new Secret Sauce Control Code that we call Intelligent Prime the Pump !
● It is ON by Default on ALL supported Apple mobile devices, & cannot be disabled.
● It is separate from the app's Intelligent Camera Startup™ support, which is OFF by Default, & which requires both the "Pro" IAP & the "Intelligent Startup" In-App Settings switch to be Set to ON, for it to become Enabled.
---
● As a reminder, the purpose of the app's Intelligent Camera Startup™ support is to help Users achieve Highest Capture Performance !
● Without it, for most but NOT all, High Performance Burst Photo Capture is NOT possible !
---
● Also, Photosets' A11/A12 secret sauce code that we've referred to in the past as the "Perf Ctrl Bug Fix En" code has been Disabled.
● This change has NO impact on anything with an A10 or older, OR with an A13 OR newer.
---
● Also as a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, the "Pro" IAP supports Family Sharing, making it an Exceptional Value, perhaps the Single Best Value in ANY App Store !

version 8.16

21 Dec 2020 Version 8.16
● Another BIGGIE ! ... More Important Refinements & Bug Fixes !
---
● Also, updated the Specs !
● The Important Thing to know is that the "Pro" IAP gets you up-to "40" photos per set @ 30 fps; without it, up-to ONLY "10" photos per set @ 30 fps.
● Please see the Tech Spec "tables" INSIDE the app (via the "Pro" IAP + Tech Specs main menu option on the Home View's Bottom Toolbar).
● Please note that the "Pro" IAP + Tech Specs main menu option is presented ONLY on Tier 1 & Tier 2 devices.
● Please see our Photosets webpage on our website if you don't see it in the app, OR as an alternative to Viewing the tables in the app.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
---
● Also as a reminder, the "Pro" IAP does support Family Sharing, making it an Exceptional Value, perhaps the Single Best Value in ANY App Store !

version 8.16

Dec 21, 2020 Version 8.16
● Another BIGGIE ! ... More Important Refinements & Bug Fixes !
---
● Also, updated the Specs !

---
● Also as a reminder, the "Pro" IAP does support Family Sharing, making it an Exceptional Value, perhaps the Single Best Value in ANY App Store !

version 8.15

Dec 16, 2020 Version 8.15
● Now Easier to Use & Master !
● Specifically, we've Simplified & RE-factored the Camera Settings & In App Settings Dialogs so that the User Interface would be Easier to Use & Master !
---
● Also, added a "Capture Rate Controller" (see the In App Settings Dialog).

version 8.14

Dec 1, 2020 Version 8.14
● Photosets has (once again) Raised the Bar in Mobile Burst Photography !
● It now includes Important Enhancements & Refinements to the One of a Kind "Benchmark Mode" support that was added in v8.13 that now makes it "extra special" !
● In addition to expanding the number of samples by 3x, you now have three choices of what gets Monitored & Recorded, +-20%, +-10%, OR +-5%:
● With +-20%, anything outside 26.67 ms to 40.0 ms gets Recorded.
● With +-10%, anything outside 30.0 ms to 36.67 ms gets Recorded.
● With +-5%, anything outside 31.67 ms to 35.0 ms gets Recorded.
● At the Tail-End of each capture run, the Raw Data is written into a File in your Photosets/Benchmarks folder !
● Now anyone can Examine the Raw Cycle-to-Cycle Burst Photo Timing Performance on their particular iPhone OR iPad (& that's with the Highest-Perf Burst Photo Capture Engine on the planet) !
● Very-likely a First in the History of Mobile !
● See Main Menu / Key STATs / Capture STATs to enable & configure the feature.
● From a High-Level perspective, the Monitoring & Recording Engine is now in place for the next phase, adding a "Benchmark Mode Data Analyzer" !
● And very specifically, UN-like Synthetic Benchmarks, it's ALL based on a Real World Test (OR more specifically, a set of tests) !
---
● Also, this Update includes an Important Bug Fix that had prevented some iPhones from capturing up-to "45" 8 Mpx OR 4K photos per set; had been limited to "40" photos per set on those iPhones; the Bug did NOT affect Full-Res 12 Mpx capture, & ONLY impacted those with the "Pro" IAP.
● As a reminder, without the "Pro" IAP, capture is limited to no more than "20" photos per set.
---
● And last but NOT least, this Update ALSO includes Important Fine-Tune Adjustments to the app's Intelligent Camera Startup™ support:
● It's now enabled ONLY on Apple mobile devices with 2.9 GB or more of DRAM, & ONLY with JPEG & HEIC capture (i.e., support with UN-comp. RGB capture has been dropped), & is now ALSO (conditionally) active when Returning from Background / Suspended State !
● As a reminder, Photosets is the ONLY Camera App on the planet with Intelligent Camera Startup support.
● It's a Intelligent Algorithm, that knows how to properly "Warm Up" your iPhone OR iPad for High Performance Burst Photo Capture !
● Without it, for most but NOT all, High Performance Burst Photo Capture is NOT possible !
---
● Simply put, there are NO (other) camera apps of this caliber in the ANY App Store !
---
● As a (final) reminder, Photosets works best on iPhones & iPads with 2.9 GB or more of DRAM.

version 8.13

Nov 25, 2020 Version 8.13
● Another BIGGIE ! ... this Update includes Important Enhancements, Refinements, & Bug Fixes !
---
● Adds support for "Direct" app-to-app AirDrop transfers from Photosets running on your iPhone OR iPad, to Photosets running on an M1 Apple Silicon Mac !
● Just prior to sending via AirDrop, Photosets running on your iPhone OR iPad "can optionally" package the photos of your photo set into an HSPX (container file).
● On the receiving end, Photosets running on your M1 Apple Silicon Mac will extract the photos from inside the HSPX (container file), & set them up (inside the app) just like any captured photo set, for you to do whatever you like with.
● As a reminder, HSPX stands for "High-Speed Photoset Container File".
● Also, as another reminder, you can always use our companion macOS app, Photosets TV, to View your photo sets on ANY Mac ! ... Photosets TV ALSO enables you to Extract the Photos of your HSPX files in your User's ~/Downloads folder, if need be, something that Photosets running on an M1 Apple Silicon Mac (currently) does NOT support.
---
● Also, includes a new 300-photo Limiter (for those without the "Pro" IAP).
● Specifically, if NO "Pro" IAP, capture will Max-Out @ ONLY 5 photos per set AFTER 300 total photos have been captured.
● 300 photos is sufficient to capture "15" 20-photo photo sets, OR "20" 15-photo photo sets.
● Both combinations are supported by the Base version of the app.
● Our intent is simply to try to encourage more Users to upgrade to the "Pro" IAP.
---
● Also, now includes industry-unique Camera Capture Pipeline Benchmark support !
● We will be using this in the near-future to Help Educate Users (& Partner Companies) as to how Photosets' Camera Capture Pipeline actually performs on their particular iPhone OR iPad !
● And very specifically, Benchmark Mode tags & records ANY Actual capture cycle time 1.2x the Expected capture cycle time, including setup cycles !
● Those Skilled in the Art could even Make a Game out of it, seeing if they could figure-out what the variables represent BEFORE we release the info.

version 8.12

Nov 20, 2020 Version 8.12
● Important Under-the-Hood Refinements & Bug Fixes !
● Among other things, this Update includes Important Fine-Tune Adjustments to the Camera's Capture Pipeline !

version 8.9

Oct 26, 2020 Version 8.9
● Important "RAW DNG Burst Photo Capture" Refinements & Bug Fixes !
● Post capture, you can View your RAW DNG Burst Photo Sets via the Main Menu's "Mange RAW DNG" option, & View "the companion" HEIC Burst Photo Set in the same manner as any other captured JPEG OR HEIC burst photo set (i.e., via the Editor).
● As a reminder, Photosets supports RAW DNG Burst Photo Capture ONLY on the Back Wide Camera on the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12, & 12 Pro.
● You do NOT need the Pro IAP for this feature !

version 8.8

Oct 23, 2020 Version 8.8
● Important UI Refinements !
● Added support for the iPhone 12 & 12 Pro, as well as the iPad Air 4 !
---
● Also, we've Reset the App's App Store Ratings !
● Starts afresh with v8.8 !

version 8.7

Oct 16, 2020 Version 8.7
● It's a BIGGIE, perhaps our BIGGEST update yet !
● Our theme for this update is "Wake-Up & Warm-Up".
● Adds Intelligent Camera Startup™ support !
● Make NO Mistake, this update has Game Changer potential (for multiple reasons) !
---
● Also, adds a first-cut of 3rd-Gen UN-comp. RGB support (i.e., RGB3) !
● As a reminder, UN-comp. RGB is the Highest-Quality Possible in High-Speed Mobile Burst Photography !
● Specifically, RGB3 is 8-bits of Red, Green, & Blue, per Pixel, in the P3 D65 (i.e., Display P3) color space, with NO Image compression, but with Data compression (to reduce file size), & now, with RGB3, per-Photo Metadata !
---
● Also, we've Reset the App's App Store Ratings !
● Starts afresh with v8.7 !
---
● If possible, please help us out with a Rating.
● Photosets will make up to TWO, & ONLY TWO, Ratings "Requests":
● via the Camera, Photosets will make a first Ratings Request if you reach a certain capture threshold (i.e., 75 total photos across "n" sets), & then you transition to the Home View:
● For example:
● 1x30 + 3x15 = 75 total photos
● 2x30 + 1x15 = 75 total photos
● That's in sets x photos/set, & again, the Request is triggered ONLY AFTER you transition to the Home View.
● via the Video Maker, Photosets will make a 2nd request AFTER you make your first Burst Video, & then transition to the Home View.
---
● Key STATs (June 10, 2015 - Oct 16, 2020):

version 8.4

Sep 30, 2020 Version 8.4
● Important Refinements & Bug Fixes !
● Its most-important Benefit is reduced Camera startup delays !
● Also, added something entirely new, that will (ultimately) cover lots of "Lessons & Tips"; currently called "Tips," you can access it via the Main Menu on the "Home View" (if in the Camera, swipe to the right, OR tap the Home button, to transition to Home) ... v8.4 Kicks it Off with Lesson / Tip #1 !
---
● Also, we Reset the App's App Store Ratings !
● Starts afresh with v8.4 !
---
● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, the quickest way to figure-out what Photosets is ALL-about, is to View the Tables on our website, both on our Home page, as well as on our "Photosets" webpage, where you'll find the app's Tech Specs.

version 8.3

Sep 24, 2020 Version 8.3
● Fixed a Memory Leak in the Camera's "Abort" feature !
● The Key Benefit: If You know what you're doing, You can now use Abort to Quickly Prep-Up your iPhone OR iPad for Max Capture Performance !
● We highly recommend you Experiment with the Camera's Abort feature; the Benefit can be Significant !
---
● Also, we Reset the App's App Store Ratings !
● Starts afresh with v8.3 !

version 8.2

Sep 22, 2020 Version 8.2
● Important Fine-Tune Adjustments to the Camera's Capture Pipeline !

● Adds a first-cut of RAW Burst™ support !
● More specifically, "RAW DNG" (Burst Photo Set) Camera Capture support !
---
● Also adds a first-cut of RAW DNG (Burst Photo Set) Manager / Editor support !
---
● As a reminder, the three new/relatively-new AVCapturePhotoOutput Camera Capture Pipeline features, Portrait Burst (Port), Multi-Exposure Burst (3xE), & RAW Burst (RAW DNG), are each 2019 iPhone-specific feature additions, & each requires the "Pro" In-App Purchase.
---
● Also as a reminder, please see the Tables on our website, as they will help you quickly figure-out what Photosets is ALL-about, as well as what you get on your particular iPhone AND/OR iPad !

version 7.50

Aug 11, 2020 Version 7.50
● Photosets now has two Independent Camera Capture Pipelines !
● Welcome to the Revolution !
---
● Adds a 1st-cut of Multi-Exposure Burst™ capture !
● Adds a 2nd-cut of Portrait Burst™ capture !
● Portrait Burst now has a Fail Safe feature; if the camera doesn't detect a person, it gives up after a short period.
● Both Multi-Exposure Burst & Portrait Burst are 2019 iPhone-specific features, & both require the "Pro" In-App Purchase.
---
● Adds a new Camera Shutter feature, called "Abort," which enables you to prevent the photos of a set from being written to NAND Flash Storage (if you decide soon-enough during capture, that is).

version 7.49

Jul 27, 2020 Version 7.49
● Important Refinements !
---
● Added a first-cut of a major new feature addition, Portrait Burst™ !
● It is a 2019 iPhone-specific feature addition, & requires the "Pro" In-App Purchase.
● Works with the Front TrueDepth Camera on the 11, 11 Pro, & 11 Pro Max, & with the Back Dual Camera on the 11 Pro & 11 Pro Max !
● It piggybacks on Photosets' existing / legacy High-Perf captureOutput: infrastructure !
● It leverages Photosets' existing / legacy Photo Set Management infrastructure !
● Please note that Playback (in the Editor) is Still Under Construction.

version 7.48

Jul 19, 2020 Version 7.48
● Kicks Off a Strategy Change !
● On iPhones & iPads with 3.5 GB or more of DRAM, the base version of the app now enables you to capture up-to "30" (burst) photos per set (@ 30 fps) !
● That's 100% more Full-Res 12 Mpx, 4K, & 8 Mpx (burst) photos than before !
● The "Pro" IAP is still needed to capture up-to "45" (burst) photos per set !
---
● We made the change primarily because "30" (burst) photos per set is a better fit for the app's 30-scene Burst Video Maker !
● Specifically, burst photo sets with 30-45 photos per set make better Videos !
● Photo sets with "30" photos produce 1.0 second video scenes (x 30 = 30 second Videos).
● Photo sets with "45" photos produce 1.5 second video scenes (x 30 = 45 second Videos).
---
● OK, so what does that really mean ?
● You can make "multi-scene" Short Form Videos !
● For example, a 15-second Video consisting of "10" 1.5-second scenes !
● Only possible from a Next-Gen Burst Photo Camera App like Photosets !
---
● Note that we ALSO made the change because Photosets is an "UN-Discovered Gem of an App," & we would like more people to use it !
● More for FREE always helps the cause !
---
● Also added-back the "Benchmark Mode" feature, & with a new, important twist !
● Specifically, it's now a CPU-only Test intended to help you figure-out if the A-series processor in your iPhone is "Good to Go" for High-Performance Burst Photo Capture.
● Benchmark Mode is supported on iPhones & iPads with 3.5 GB or more of DRAM.
---
● As always, please see the Tables on the "Photosets" webpage on our website !
● They will help you Quickly Figure-Out what Photosets is ALL-about !

version 7.47

Jul 13, 2020 Version 7.47
● Important Refinements !

version 7.44

Jun 25, 2020 Version 7.44
● Important Refinements to the Camera's B2B (i.e., Back-to-Back) Capture Run support, including the new "Macro B2B" mode that was added with v7.43 !
---
● As a reminder, Macro B2B is enabled ONLY on 2019 iPhones with the "Pro" IAP.
● It leverages the Back Wide Image Sensor of the 2019 iPhones in a novel way, & for novel purposes.

version 7.42

Jun 15, 2020 Version 7.42
● Added-back the app's ONE & ONLY In-App Purchase, "Pro" !
● Reset the Ratings !

● Specifically, AFTER 2-4 photo set capture "runs".

version 7.39

Jun 10, 2020 Version 7.39
● Important Refinements & Bug Fixes !

version 7.38

Jun 7, 2020 Version 7.38
● The Default Capture Resolution is now set to 4K on ALL iPhones & iPads with 2.5 GB OR more of DRAM, & includes Cinematic Image Stabilization on ALL iPhones & iPads that support it.
● As a reminder, on ALL High-End iPhones, Photosets supports three Capture Resolutions, 8 Mpx, 4K, & Full-Res 12 Mpx, as well as two Color Spaces, sRGB & Display P3.
● You control the Capture Resolution & the Color Space (on a per photo set basis) via the Capture Resolution + Color Space slider on the Home View.
● Prior to this update, the Default Capture Resolution was set to Full-Res 12 Mpx on ALL High-End iPhones, & set to 8 Mpx on ALL other iPhones, as well as with ALL iPads.
---
● 8 Mpx & Full-Res 12 Mpx are recommended for use with a Tripod OR Monopod, OR when your primary goal is ONLY capturing Burst Photos (vs. capturing Burst Photos + crafting a Video, OR Videos, from those Burst Photos).
● 4K (because of its Cinematic Image Stabilization benefit) is recommended for Handheld operation.
---
● Note ALSO that there are Important Video Maker A/V Sync Refinements in this Update as well.
---
● Please note that because of the Technical Challenge, Photosets supports Audio Capture & A/V Sync ONLY on the 2019 iPhones; i.e., the 11, 11 Pro, & 11 Pro Max.

version 7.34

May 26, 2020 Version 7.34
● Adds a first-cut of "Captured Audio" support to the 30-scene Burst Video Maker !

version 7.33

May 10, 2020 Version 7.33
● Camera Performance Improvements !
---
● This update ALSO includes a "first-cut" of Audio Capture support !
---
● To enable Audio Capture the following conditions MUST be met:
● The Efficiency / Performance segment MUST be set to Performance.
● The Capture Audio switch MUST be set to ON.
● The 15 / 30 / 45 segment MUST be set to 30 OR 45.
As a reminder, this segment controls the "Max Number" of photos to capture per photo set.
As such, it controls the duration of capture.
"30" corresponds to 1 second of duration, "45" corresponds to 1.5 seconds of duration.
● The "Pro" In-App Purchase MUST be installed / enabled.
As a reminder, you need the "Pro" In-App Purchase to capture more than 15 photos per photo set.

version 7.32

May 6, 2020 Version 7.32
● Another BIGGIE ! ... there's more Masterful Low-Level Code "in just this Update" than (probably) in 99.9% of ALL mobile apps !

● Specifically, this Update includes Important (Burst Photo) Editor Enhancements, Refinements, & Bug Fixes !
● More specifically, it adds support for Modifying "HEIC EXIF" Metadata, which enables Photosets to expand its support for Favorite Photo "Tagging" in the Editor to HEIC photos !
● In other words, you can now share your Hand Picked HEIC Favorite-tagged photos, just like you've always been able to do with Photosets with your JPEG photos !
● This ALSO means, that just like with your JPEG photos, you can Tag your Favorite HEIC photos (in the Editor), independently, time-wise, from when you decide to Share them (via the sharing capabilities in the Home View).
● Very specifically, the benefit will become Most Apparent when you get to the Share options AFTER having Favorite Tagged Photos.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets' Burst Photo Editor provides two key Features/Capabilities, Trimming & Metadata Favorite Tagging.
---
● The Trim feature enables you to Trim-Off (the First & Last) photos of a photo set.
● Use the controls just-left & just-right of the Star, with Apply & Save.
● Metadata Favorite Tagging enables you to select up-to "5" favorite photos per photoset.
● Tap the Star, then Apply, then Save, for each photo you want to tag as a favorite.
● When you tap Save, the relevant photo's Metadata is tagged with a MIP favorite tag, where MIP stands for Most Important Photo.
● To Clear the MIP tags, simply tap the Star, then Reset.
---
● As a reminder, HEIC photos are photos that have been HEVC encoded, & packaged in a Container File that (generally) uses the same File Format / Structure as MP4 video.
● Also as a reminder, Photosets has had a custom low-level MP4 Metadata Atom Parser & Modifier in-place for well over a year, that we first developed for the app's 30-scene MP4 Burst Video Maker.
● Because HEIC uses (generally) the same Container File Format as MP4, we leveraged it for the Editor's key new Enhancements in this Update, HEIC EXIF Metadata Tagging !
---
● On select devices (e.g., the 11 Pro Max), Photosets supports three capture formats, two compressed, JPEG, HEIC, & one UN-compressed UN-comp. RGB (here, NO image compression).
● Because UN-comp. RGB photos are (image) UN-compressed photos, they consist of BIG files that are a better fit for a Desktop Burst Photo Set Editor, such as our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV.
● Specifically, Photosets' Editor does NOT offer support for UN-comp. RGB photos.
● If you have a Mac running macOS 10.15 (i.e., Catalina), you're Good to Go with Photosets TV (with JPEG, HEIC, & UN-comp. RGB) !
● As a reminder, we call it Photosets TV because it's intended to drive your BIG screen TV (via an HDMI cable from your Mac to your TV).
---
● As a (final) reminder, because of their Higher Performance, Photosets is a Best Fit for ALL three of the 2019 iPhones !

---
● This update simply Fixes an Issue that we had accidentally introduced in v7.19, when we RE-designed the "Home View" User Interface.
---
● As a reminder, the Image Buttons are contained inside a Horizontal Scrollview, which is presented when there is at least one photo set stored inside the app.

version 7.15

Feb 28, 2020 Version 7.15
● Important Refinements !

version 7.46

2020年7月9日 Version 7.46
● Important Fine-Tune Adjustments to the Camera's Capture Pipleline !
● While working on a Timing Refinement in the Camera, we discovered a Critical (startup) Timing Issue we had NOT seen before.
● Something that impacted a custom feature of Photosets' Camera, that we refer to as "Prime the Pump".
● We added a Fix for that, which enables Photosets to perform better, & especially for 1st Time Users !
● We ALSO used this opportunity to make Starting up in the Camera the default, which used to be a User-controlled option.
---
● The default "Camera Configuration" when Starting up in the Camera:
4K / P3 / Wide / JPEG / Long-Press (Camera Shutter) / Efficiency (mode) / 15 (photos per set)
● Please note that it's the mode (Efficiency vs Performance) & the number of photos per set (15 vs 30 vs 45) that determines how long Prime the Pump will run, & which directly affects Capture Performance.
---
● To change the camera's configuration, if/when in the Camera, you simply need to Swipe to the Right, OR tap the Home button, to transition back to the Home View (from the camera).
● Adjust the Resolution / Color Space slider as necessary, & then either Swipe to the Left OR tap the Camera button, to trigger a transition back to the camera.
● Here, you will be presented with one of two Camera Settings Dialogs, depending-upon which iPhone OR iPad you're using.
● You can make necessary changes here, & when done, simply tap Proceed to transition to the Camera.
---
● The "AirDrop Multiple Sets" feature added with v7.45 has been both Enhanced & Refined !
● Both are important updates needed to Efficiently & Effectively work with our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV !
---
● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, Photosets offers you a Unique & Innovative (Burst Photo) Capture Experience, both in the level of Performance it offers, & in the way it operates !
● UN-like Single Shot Cameras, OR other lower-Performance Burst Photo Cameras, you can't just turn it ON, & expect to be Ready to Go.
● To achieve Highest Capture Performance, your A-series processor needs to be "sufficiently" warm'd-up !
● This is where the Camera's "Prime the Pump" feature comes into play.
● More precisely, it's a key feature that enables Photosets to perform its magic !
● The downside is there is a small delay before the Camera's Shutter Button is presented.
● Without the Prime the Pump feature, Capture Performance would be extremely low !
● And very specifically, Prime the Pump is (low-level) Secret Sauce Code that has been Fine-Tuned over a four year period for Highest Capture Performance !

version 7.50

2020年8月11日 Version 7.50
● Photosets now has two Independent Camera Capture Pipelines !
● Welcome to the Revolution !
---
● Adds a 1st-cut of Multi-Exposure Burst™ capture !
● Adds a 2nd-cut of Portrait Burst™ capture !
● Portrait Burst now has a Fail Safe feature; if the camera doesn't detect a person, it gives up after a short period.
● Both Multi-Exposure Burst & Portrait Burst are 2019 iPhone-specific features, & both require the "Pro" In-App Purchase.
---
● Adds a new Camera Shutter feature, called "Abort," which enables you to prevent the photos of a set from being written to NAND Flash Storage (if you decide soon-enough during capture, that is).

version 8.27

2021年3月4日 Version 8.27
● Important Enhancements & Refinements !
● Adds (a first-cut of) the User Interface for a brand-new Flagship-caliber feature we call "Multi View Capture" (MVC) !
● Photosets' MVC supports (1) Master + up-to (2) Slaves per MVC session.
● Each MVC Slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC Master @ 3 fps, 10 fps, OR 30 fps.
● The MVC Master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants of the MVC session.
● Photosets' MVC is a custom low latency implementation & strictly one Camera View per iPhone.
● Please note that while the UI is Enabled, the feature's Networking functionality is currently Disabled; we plan to Enable it in a near-future update.
● Please see In App Settings / Advanced Settings / Multi View Capture for the relevant MVC controls.
---
● As a reminder, Photosets uses an Apple Camera Framework for capturing Photos that does NOT generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture.
● The ONLY exception to this is the app's RAW DNG capture, which uses a different Apple Camera Framework (which does generate a Shutter sound during Photo capture).
