Is there a way to have the JPG and DNG combined within the Mac OS Photos app.
I puchased ProCam4 then found your app. I find your interface cleaner and less cluttered. But when the photos sync via iCloud in photos the JPG and DNG are separate. Is there a way so they are combined like ProCam. I don't know which I prefer really but I leaning towards the combined one. Especially as iOS doesn't have the marker of which file if they are separate.
Thanks for making the app free too.

Hi,
Actually, initial version that supported raw was combining DNG and JPG images into one asset. And then we've got tons of complains (and 1 star reviews) from people who tried to see the DNG files using Photos app on iPhone. What they saw was obviously a small preview embedded in DNG, since Photos on iPhone doesn't support raw. So, we switched to separate files just to make most other 3d party apps to "find" DNG. I can add a switch in settings which will allow combining DNG and JPG files again.
Thanks for the reply.
If it's not too much trouble to add in then it would be nice to have the option.
I haven't used them both properly yet just test shots to see how the RAW and JPGs were handled by Photos. As I said I think combined might be better, in a workflow. But saying that I'm sure when I had my DSLR the files were separate (been a long time). It would be useful if Photos displayed the RAW or JPG tag like it does with HDR, which is where the problem is really. I suppose the benefit having them separate allows the JPG to be edited on the iPhone within photos and upload to social media etc easily instead of using another app.
Ive also been to the website to vote for the new UI, Heavy it is for me. I like the larger size increments on the sliders easier to view them instead of the smaller dot like indicators.
There is no problem in adding an extra switch and few lines of code
Thanks for voting! I should probably ask our team to update the post or write a new one. At the end, due to not so much of conclusive results, we are going to have 2 UI versions: Light and Heavy. Light will also be modified and becomes as semi-light. Here is how it approximately (not a final version yet) will look like on iPhone 7 Plus (from left to right: Heavy, Light):
I just love this app, I totally switched from the basic camera app to Camera Pixel. RAW support is really useful and the settings to play around. 4.5/5 stars. UI could have been little bit better.You are welcome
Thank you! As you know, there is always room for improvements, so CameraPixels will continue its development and improvements
It was actually due in the middle of February, but we hit an obstacle with Long Exposure mode. Almost all issues have been fixed, so the release should be available soon

Thanks I'm enjoying using your app. Been using it the most. I got ProCam 4 at the same time but its too cluttered.
Here's an image I took with it on my 7+.

Is this a paid upgrade (v4)? Just curious cause I jumped in on the free full resolution pack and cannot find a way to restore that purchase.
Thanks!
Thanks!
No no no, update is free. Did you delete the app before update? Have you reinstalled the OS or changed the account? If none of the above, than usually it shouldn't change your status of purchase in the app (you should still be in full res mode). If for some reason it did reset the purchase status, try to select one of the grayed out resolutions and then in appeared dialog - restore purchase
Thank you very much for the quick reply. I had deleted the app. Selecting the grayed out resolution allowed me to restore the purchase! Thanks again!
Ah, ok. Each time you delete an app with IAP, you would need to restore the purchase to bring it back to full
