News Update : 8:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, July 9, 2025 First, we want to thank everyone who participated in our first-ever MVC Photo Shoot earlier today ! That was our first, but NOT our last; expect 2-3 every week till mid-Oct ! Second, we're thinking about enabling 10-bit 422 4K Burst Photo Capture support, plus its companion 10-bit ProRes 422HQ Video Maker support, in the next update of Photosets, v25.403. Multi View Capture (MVC) has become our focus & our top priority. And we don't plan on releasing that to the General Public. It's simply too valuable. On a side note, it's been more than a couple of weeks now since we realized & announced that Trump would very-likely be the very-last Far-Right OR Far-Left President. NO ONE else has yet picked up on "the why". Go Figure ! Come On People, it's NOT Rocket Science ! Don't force us to resurrect the Center-Right Independent Thinkers (CRIT) coalition. And BTW, we predict the next U.S. President will be an Engineer OR Scientist. And won't be a Billionaire. Trump's One, BIG (NOT so) Beautiful Bill should have included a Tax Rate Increase
for the Highest Income Earners. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 4 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, July 9, 2025 Two things to announce: 1.) Our first-ever Multi View Capture-based Bikini (& Summer Dress) Photo Shoot later today, Wed, July 9th, will represent a first of its kind Burst Photo Technology Showcase Event ! 2.) Starting with v25.403, out soon, "Pivoting to a Services Company"
will be the new App Store sub-title for Photosets. We simply want to make "our strategy" Crytal Clear to ALL potential Investors & Corp Partners. The Gist, there is NO real money to be made selling Photosets INSIDE the App Store. But OUTSIDE, there is significant financial opportunity selling Photosets-based Services. And in particular, Multi View Captured-based Services. -----
News Update : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 8, 2025 FYI, we expect to kick off our first-ever Multi View Capture-based Beach Photo Shoot any day now ! If participating, wear your (sexiest) Bikini under your Favorite Summer Dress ! As a reminder, you'll be participating in a first of its kind Burst Photo Technology Showcase Event. The plan is to use the event to usher-in what we refer to as Dynamic Female Photo Modeling. And naturally using our Photosets, running on both a newer "Pro" iPhone & an M4 iPad Pro, & both under the control of our macOS app Photosets TV/Studio. NO other Company OR App Dev has anything like it ! -----
News Update : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 8, 2025 FYI, Wx-wise, today appears to mark the start of Summer here in La Jolla ! That means we can finally move forward with out planned Beach Photo Shoots. As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, we'll be using those photo shoots to showcase Multi View Capture & GDB Detection. Also as a reminder, GDB Detection is Photosets' first-ever ML-based feature. -----

(1) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves. Note that our preference is to RE-release our Mac-based Photosets TV/Studio app via our website,
priced at $11.99 USD, & with FREE updates for two years. (2) Supports "1" MVC slave. For this case, the iPad's Camera is under MVC UI control.

Background Info
For seven months, starting in Dec of 2020, Cosmosent R&D was working hard on adding Multi View Capture (MVC) support to Photosets (acting as an MVC slave) & our macOS app Photosets TV/Studio (acting as the MVC master). Lots of code, mostly low-level, was Developed & Tested. But, we could NOT get it working reliably. We ultimately concluded that some interrupt in the Mac was (randomly) causing the MVC networking session to terminate. And we could NOT resolve it, even with Apple's help. So, we put it on the Back Burner. That was June of 2021. And BTW, we estimate we put 2500 R&D hours into it. And with nothing to show for it. On Saturday, June 21, 2025, & simply on a whim, we decided to resurrect MVC to see if we could get it working with newer hardware & software. It didn't work right out of the box. But it also didn't take us long to start having success with it. By the end of June, because of the success Cosmosent R&D had with it & because of the value it adds to the company, we made it our Top Priority. And it has remained so ever since. We have Enhanced & Refined it on an almost daily basis. It's pretty solid & we can Live Demo it on Request ! Feel free to browse our News Updates on our News webpage to get a feel for how it's evolved on a Day-by-Day basis.
Operational Overview
● (1) MVC master + up-to (3) MVC slaves per MVC session. ● 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 slaves to the MVC master. ● The MVC master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session. Two options are currently supported, Single Tap via Photosets OR Photosets TV/Studio acting as the MVC master, OR Start/Stop via a BT remote. The latter offers Two Levels of Indirection. ● The MVC master also controls select camera controls on ALL participants in the MVC session. ● MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone OR iPad.

We ordered an M4 iPad Pro the day it was released with the intention of adding MVC master support for it. We worked on it for just a few weeks before putting it on the Back Burner. We simply didn't have the Resources to work on it at that time. 📌 Apple's Final Cut Camera app vs. Photosets' Multi-View Capture (MVC) feature (table last updated 6 PM, Sunday, May 12, 2024)

(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) Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, Multi-Scene Video Maker with Rock Solid A/V Sync support. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad, OR on a Mac with the assistance of our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app, which supports custom App Group-based Content Sharing with Photosets running on a Mac. See the relevant table at the bottom of this webpage.
How we plan to test Our initial focus is offering a solid & robust single-user solution, that builds-upon what Photosets has offered for over five years. i.e., its Multi View Capture (MVC) feature. (table last updated 9:30 PM, Sunday, May 12, 2024)

1.) When the MVC Master is an iPad, it is expected that the iPad's Back Wide Camera will participate in the MVC session. And as such, ONLY three MVC slaves are supported for this Use-Case. 2.) When the MVC Master is a Mac, up-to four Slaves can participate in the MVC session. -----
