| Jag.gr 645 PRO & PureShot App Features:
645 PRO makes every iPhone feel like a pro camera, with unprecedented control and unparalleled image quality. Inspired by the great medium format cameras, it produces print-ready output from a selection of seven gorgeous Film Modes inspired by classic film stock with seven different “backs” from square 6×6 to panoramic 6×17. 645 PRO was also the first iPhone camera app to provide the option of uncompressed, unprocessed, lossless “developed RAW”—dRAW—TIFF files, a workflow essential for many professionals. It's now joined by PureShot, Jag.gr's “#nofilter” app, designed to deliver the best possible unprocessed output from a camera that is simple and intuitive to use, yet remarkably powerful and configurable.
“We're very excited by snappgrip,” says Mike Hardaker, founder of Jag.gr. “It's just a great fit for the apps we design and for photographers who take mobile photography seriously.”
