BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Dec 21, 2025 It certainly took awhile, but we think we've finally found our calling. And by that we mean the ML-based solutions we've been working on that combine Photosets' Burst Photo Capture Engine with Nvidia's RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition. Our Photosets is Light Years Ahead of ALL other Camera Apps in Burst Photo Technology & Domain/Application/Use-Case support. Yet despite that, & the fact that Apple NEVER had a competitive solution, it's had little to NO real success
in Tim Cook's App Store. Has nothing to do with the app itself, ONLY with Tim Cook's App Store. So what's an App Dev to do when the AI Build-Out continues to be Red Hot,
while Tim Cook's App Store is (clearly) "Dying on the Vine" ? Pivot, naturally. Our level of Enthusiasm is higher now than at ANY point over the past ten years. As a reminder, Photosets made its debut in the App Store in June of 2015 as an
iPad-based Burst Photo Editor. We had modest financial expectations for it at that time. We added the Camera in the Summer of 2016. We (still) had modest financial expectations for it at that time. We updated the app's Camera when Apple released the 2016 iPhone 7+, at which point Photosets became a rare, true Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera App. That's when we first knew we had accomplished something special. However, from that day till now, Photosets has had little to NO real success in Tim Cook's App Store. Has nothing to do with the app itself, ONLY with Tim Cook's App Store. We want to make that point Crystal Clear to ALL. From our perspective, the AAPL Board has been "asleep at the wheel". Leaving-out 1/3 of the Domains & Applications/Use-Cases supported by Apple's Camera Tech is serious business. And by extension, the (mostly high-end) iPhone upgrades that they would have been the catalyst for. NO Engineering OR Software Development experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise. That's Apple's App Store Mgmt Team. That's also the AAPL Board. Go Figure ! And the fact that NO ONE on CNBC has ever picked up on this is extremely telling. Cook, Schiller, & Cramer ALL need to be put out to pasture. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Dec 20, 2025 We're Fast Tracking (what we believe to be) an innovative strategy, that combines Photosets' Burst Photo Capture Engine with Nvidia's RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition. We believe "the combo" has significant Game Changer potential.

has NO limit WRT the number of video scenes per Video. Actual limit determined by the size of NAND Flash Storage. And whether the iPhone starts to over-heat. If it does, iOS will throttle things down. And may even Force Quit the app. (2) Photosets' 8-bit Video Maker
supports up-to "60" video scenes per Video. -----

(1) Post-Capture. (2) During capture. (3) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves. (4) Supports "1" MVC slave. For this case, the iPad's Camera is under MVC UI control. -----
Operational Overview
● MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone OR iPad. ● Each MVC slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC master. Specifically here, it's UN-compressed photo data that is is Live Streamed
from the MVC slave(s) to the MVC master. ● The MVC master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session. ● The MVC master also controls select camera controls on ALL participants in the MVC session.

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls. (2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app. (3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session. (4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio. (5) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker. And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad. In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac. And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app).
