Halide is rolling out an update, version 3.1, shortly after the release of its Halide Mark III app. Across sources, the update is described as adding several new photo and capture features. One of the main additions is perspective correction, aimed at straightening or adjusting converging lines in photos. The update also introduces a new visual “Scarlet” color look. In addition, Halide 3.1 adds RAW-only capture, restricting shooting to RAW files rather than enabling other capture modes. Finally, the update is said to improve focusing behavior through “smarter focus taps,” which adjusts how the app responds when users tap to set focus.
Digital Trends characterizes the update as including a straighter look, a warmer Scarlet appearance, and enhanced focus control, while 9to5Mac similarly lists perspective correction, RAW-only capture, and the Scarlet Edition. The reported timing is also consistent: Halide 3.1 is prepared within weeks of the Mark III launch, indicating a fast follow-up release cycle.
