First of all, I have to say that I love pearla and will give it a 5 star review. LUTs for me are much more fun than filters. For examples of my fun LUT photos taken with Pearla: 2025-03-17 Revolver Dwd_Arklight14_33b (a stronger “Matrix the Movie” LUT) ( Nick Driftwood’s blog post about this Matrix LUT, Dwd_Arklight14_33b LUT), thanks Nick!). 2025-03-13 Pearla Kodak TMAX 3200++ Kcc (this LUT was discovered via this February 24, 2024 dpreview forum post: LUTs for photography, LUT). Finally, I don’t do video just stills and it works great. So I am not going to comment on video stuff :-)
Pearla bugs
- Viewfinder freeze still happens when loading certain LUTs and most LUTs over 1MB e.g. PictureFX-Leica-Barnack-125.cube from marcrphoto
- GPS tagging doesn’t work on my iPhone 16 Pro Max with the latest version of iOS
Pearla feature request
- a UX affordance e.g. button to quickly switch between LUTs. Having to go to the settings works but is slow.
- Would be nice: a way to rename LUTs
