Thanks to the mods for letting me post this!

Hey,

I shoot an X100VI, and most of the recipes I use come from creators on Instagram, not from a dedicated app. I save the posts, then dread the menu diving to set them up.

I got really annoyed by it and built an app that does the whole thing automatically, and I'm looking for testers before it launches.

It's called Half Stop. You share a recipe post to it, and it pulls the settings from the captions, slides or reels and saves everything along with the creator's credits and a link to the original post.

It can then send the recipe to your camera over USB-C with one tap, and also checks every setting went in, and remembers what was in the slot so you can undo it.

What I'd love testers to try (about 5 minutes):

• Share a few of your saved recipe posts, especially odd ones (reels, slides, unusual formats)
• Send one to your camera and check it came out right
• Tell me what broke, confused you, or is missing

It works with X-Trans IV, X-Trans V and GFX, on iPhone, over a cable (wireless is being tested). I especially need X-Trans IV (X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, X-Pro3, X-T30 II) and GFX owners, since I've only tested on my X100VI.

Join the free beta here: testflight.apple.com/join/BS6sFm73

Everything is free to try during the beta, Pro included: purchases in TestFlight are test purchases, so you won't be charged. At launch there'll be a free version and an optional paid Pro.

If you try it, please comment which camera you used.

There's no account creation, no ads, no data collected. Recipes stay on your phone, and it only reads the posts you share to it.

I'm here to reply to every comment and piece of feedback as quickly as possible.

Thanks for checking it out.

I’m shooting my best friends engagement this Saturday and he sent me pictures of what kind of photos his gf would like.

I’m aware they’re two pretty different looks, so I’d really appreciate any help getting close to either one, or both if anyone has recipes/settings they think would work well on the X-T5.

For the first reference, I’m after the darker, moodier editorial feel with muted olive greens, warm skin tones, soft highlights, and a more subdued overall palette.

The** **second reference feels much more dependent on the light and timing of the shoot, especially that warm backlit golden-hour look. I’d love something that could help push the colors in that direction when the conditions are right, with warmer skin tones, rich golds, softer highlights, and that hazy film-like feel.

If anyone has a recipe or settings they think could get me close to either of these looks, I’d really appreciate it. Even a good starting point would help a ton.
