01 Film looks
Your look, developed
Every Recipe Lab look is in Studio, one tap away, inspired by classic film stocks and cameras. Save your own looks, and copy settings from one photo to the next.
Recipes go both ways
Sync recipes swaps your own recipes with the camera over Wi-Fi, so a look you make on the phone is there when you shoot.
02 Grain and mist
A real film finish
The two finishing touches people kept asking the camera app for, done properly on the RAW.
Film grain
Amount, size and roughness, sized in real pixels, so the export matches what you saw.
Mist
The soft glow of a diffusion filter around your highlights, with its own size.
Plus clarity, texture, dehaze and vignette.
03 Pro tools
All included
The tools of a desktop editor, made for a touch screen. Nothing extra to unlock.
Masks
Linear and radial gradients with their own sliders, dragged right on the photo.
Spot heal and clone
Tap to remove dust, wires and distractions. Drag to pick where the patch comes from.
Curve and mixer
A tone curve for RGB and each channel, and hue, saturation and luminance for eight colour ranges.
Full-resolution zoom
Double-tap for 100 %, pinch to 200 %, to check focus and grain.
Lens corrections
Read from every RAW and set as the camera set them, so an unedited RAW matches the camera's own JPEG.
04 Import
Straight from the camera
Bring photos in whichever way suits the moment, and pick RAW or JPEG when a shot was recorded as both.
- Over Wi-FiOnly with the free Recipe Lab camera app, on Sony cameras that run PlayMemories apps: its Transfer to phone makes its own hotspot. No cable, no router, and the import keeps going in the background.
- Over USBPlug the camera in when you want speed. On Android.
- From your phonePhotos from any camera, once they're on the phone: your Photos library or files. RAW or JPEG, Studio edits them.
- Not only SonyOther cameras don't talk to Studio directly: move the files to your phone with the camera maker's app or a card reader, then open them here. Studio reads Sony ARW plus RAWs from Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus/OM, Pentax, Samsung, Hasselblad and Phase One, DNG and Apple ProRAW, JPEG and HEIC.

06 FAQ
Most asked
Do I need the Recipe Lab camera app?
No. Studio opens photos from your phone's files and Photos library, and from the camera over USB on Android. The free camera app adds the wireless transfer and recipe sync, on Sony cameras that run PlayMemories apps.
Which cameras' files does it open?
Sony ARW first: Studio is built and tested on the A6000. It also opens RAWs from Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus/OM, Pentax, Samsung, Hasselblad and Phase One, DNG including Apple ProRAW, JPEG and HEIC. The Wi-Fi import works only with the Recipe Lab camera app; from any other camera, move the files to your phone with its maker's app first, then edit them here.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once in the App Store or Google Play and every tool is included. No account, no tiers, no monthly fee.
iPhone or Android?
Both, on phones and tablets. Importing over a USB cable works on Android only; on iPhone and iPad bring photos in over Wi-Fi or from Photos and Files.
Does it change my original files?
Never. Edits are kept next to the original, and an export is a new full-size JPEG that keeps the camera, lens and exposure details.
Does it upload my photos?
No. Your photos, edits and recipes stay on your phone. The app sends crash reports, which you can turn off, and usage statistics only if you allow them. The privacy policy has the details.
