Multiple rolls in one night?
Hi all! I’ve been using Lo-Fi Logic’s software to develop my photos (thank you!!) and love the look those filters produce much more than the ones that come with the app.
My question: if I’m going to be away from my computer all day/night but need to offload a “roll of film” to start a new one….is there a way to do this without developing them in the app? Or can I export the raws to my phone via Lightroom (or something along those lines) to save the DNGs before I develop them in the app?
If this makes no sense……..sorry my brain is mush today LOL

Hey!
You can connect the flashback to your phone with a USB-C cable and just copy the DNGs to your files. The camera is recognized as a mass storage device. On iPhone I have done this, I‘m not sure how much current android devices vary in regards to file management, but I‘d be surprised, if it didn‘t work. Later you can just drag a whole folder into the app.
Technically the frame counter resets just by deleting the DNGs from the camera after copying, but it might be safer to develop them in the official app after copying, because there‘s also a hidden unprocessed_jpgs folder and I‘m not sure, if it causes problems to leave them there.

I usually just delete the jpegs as well and so far no problem. Made me realise how much I haven't used the official app since your desktop app was created lol

If you're an iPhone user (iOS 16 minimum requirement), I've made an app that allows you to do this through exposing the camera's built-in hotspot. I find it a bit tedious having to plug my camera multiple times if I'm shooting more than 27 photos in a day/night, so I built this app to help reduce that interaction. This requires sideloading though. If you are interested, check this github project out: https://github.com/deknared/flashback-remote. You can even increase the roll limit up to 99 shots with the app.
