So Hipstamatic leveraged Apple’s .aae xml files to include develop instructions for the ‘raw’ jpegs it produces. This is all well and good, as long as you’re looking at the iPhone and only at the iPhone, but just as with Snapseed before it, you have to jump through hoops to get the pictures onto your …

DEVELOP!
Heat chemicals, add developer, gently agitate and tap to release any bubbles. Agitate every 30 seconds for 3:30, then pour developer back into the bottle.

I followed times and temperatures included on the box for the FP4 Plus, though, so let’s take a look and see how it held up.
