Why divers switch from AquaColorFix to Bring Back Red

Saves that don't stop at 99 percent

AquaColorFix users describe a corrected video reaching 99 percent and then failing, including buyers of the lifetime version.

Bring Back Red reopens every export and checks its duration, dimensions, orientation, frame rate, audio and HDR against the source before calling it finished. An interrupted save picks up where it stopped, without reprocessing the clip.

4K stays 4K

Others describe blocky compression, pixelated coral, and 4K clips that don't come back in 4K.

Bring Back Red keeps supported video at its resolution, frame rate, audio and HDR, up to 8K, and checks each against the source.

Open photos and video from anywhere

AquaColorFix only sees the Photos library, its users say: no folder, no USB drive, nothing from a dive camera.

Bring Back Red opens photos and video from Files as well as Photos, so a download folder or a connected drive is one tap away.

Your originals stay untouched

Users describe it changing photos inside the library, one finding originals overwritten with a watermark and their capture dates reset.

Bring Back Red never edits the original. It exports a corrected copy, dated when the shot was taken, and the original stays byte for byte the same.

A whole dive, not one photo at a time

Users ask for a way to correct more than one photo at a time.

Bring Back Red's AI finds the dive and corrects every photo, Live Photo and clip from it in one pass.

Every export is read back before Bring Back Red calls it finished

The corrected file is reopened at its destination and checked property by property against the source. This is what it reads.
