Adobe's Project Indigo Camera Adds Support for iPhone 17
Adobe announced that its Project Indigo camera app now fully supports the recently launched iPhone 17, ending a period of limited functionality for iOS users. The update arrives alongside the device’s debut and enables photographers to take advantage of Indigo’s advanced computational‑photography tools on Apple’s newest hardware.
Project Indigo, first introduced as a beta suite for professional and enthusiast photographers, has been praised for its RAW processing, AI‑driven noise reduction, and customizable shooting modes. Until now, the app offered complete compatibility with Android devices and earlier iPhone models, but Apple’s evolving camera API and the introduction of a front‑facing square sensor on the iPhone 17 created a temporary roadblock.
In response to the hardware change, Adobe temporarily disabled access to the front‑facing square camera sensor while engineers re‑worked the integration. The decision was framed as a precautionary measure to ensure stability and image quality, and the company assured users that full functionality would be restored in a forthcoming patch.
Industry analysts noted that restoring iPhone 17 support is crucial for maintaining Indigo’s competitive edge, given the platform’s large market share among mobile photographers. Adobe’s spokesperson said the company is committed to delivering “seamless performance across all major mobile ecosystems” and that the update reflects ongoing collaboration with Apple’s development teams.
Looking ahead, Adobe plans to roll out additional features that leverage the iPhone 17’s upgraded sensor array, including enhanced portrait lighting and real‑time HDR processing. Users can expect the disabled front‑camera functionality to return within weeks, completing the app’s full feature set on the latest iPhone model.
