Lumen Darkroom accessibility
Lumen is a darkroom for photographs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Every slider, curve point, and look now has a name VoiceOver reads, its type follows your text size on iPhone and iPad, and every text colour reads at 4.5:1 or better on its dark surface.

Common tasks we test
A feature is marked supported only when all of these work with it on that device.

- Shaping tone with curves
- Applying and blending a film look
- Cropping, straightening, and rotating
- Undo, history, and the layer stack
- Exporting to Photos or Files
- Changing settings
How it works
VoiceOver
Each slider says its name and value, and you swipe up or down to change it. Curve points are named Black point, Shadows, Midtones, Highlights, and White point, and step up or down the same way. Looks, layers, and crop presets use the names you see on screen, and each layer offers Hide or Show.
Larger Text
On iPhone and iPad, Lumen's type follows your text size up to the largest accessibility sizes. At those sizes the iPad uses the single-column editor, so nothing is cut off, and the editor's bars show the Large Content Viewer when you touch and hold a button.
Contrast and motion
Lumen has one dark appearance, and every text colour in it reads at 4.5:1 or better on every surface. With Reduce Motion on, every slide, fade, and pulse is replaced by its final state.
