Birder Camera by Radiant Photo

Capture every feather in flight

There’s a magic to photographing birds—the patience, the precision, the split-second when beauty takes wing. Birder Camera by Radiant Photo is built for that moment with bird-first exposure, wide dynamic range, and pro-level control on iPhone/iPad.
 
Built on Apple’s native camera technology and refined by photographers who understand the art of wildlife and bird photography, it gives you the tools to capture every detail, from the shimmer of feathers to the emotion of flight.

Feather-level detail: intelligent noise reduction and edge-aware sharpening

Fine-tune with a single slider—or open advanced tools for precision control

Discover the App Switcher – effortless transitions, endless possibilities

The App Switcher brings all your Radiant apps together in one seamless experience. Instantly move between the tools you already own or explore related apps that can elevate your creative workflow. Your purchased apps appear at the top, with additional options sorted below, making it easy to find exactly what you need. A single tap lets you switch in an instant: if an image is open, it transfers directly and unedited into the selected app; if no image is open, the app launches right away. And if an app isn’t installed yet, you’re taken straight to its App Store page.

The App Switcher makes your workflow faster, smarter, and more intuitive—unlocking smooth creativity without interruption.

Why photographers love it

– Bird photography-first pipeline: intelligent exposure, wide dynamic tones, vivid yet natural color
– Highlights & shadows done right: AI-driven dynamic range optimization with natural recovery—no washed skies, no blocked shadows
– Feather-level detail: intelligent noise reduction and edge-aware sharpening
– RAW/ProRAW & 16-bit export: deep color fidelity for grading and print (TIFF/PNG)
– Fast looks for pros: one-tap birding styles and presets you can customize
– Private by design: all processing is on-device—no cloud upload for editing

Works with your Workflow

Edit photos from the built-in camera or from your Photos library—including images imported from your mirrorless/DSLR. Export 16-bit TIFF or PNG for headroom in post and high-quality printing. Ideal for birds in flight (BIF), low-light hides, and high-contrast backlit scenes.

Simple flow: Shoot → Swipe → Share

1. Capture with the built-in camera; the integrated Radiant editor opens automatically (you can also open synced Photos).
2 Recognize: AI scene recognition analyzes the bird and background to suggest starting points.
3. Swipe through suggested edits and birding styles (audition quickly with Lenses).
4. Fine-tune with a single slider—or open advanced tools for precision control.
5. Save non-destructively to your Photos library and share anywhere.
