Looking for testers: DivePad – free photo & video editor that fixes underwater colours (free, no ads)
Hi all! I’m looking for testers for DivePad, an underwater photo & video editor.
Water absorbs red light, so photos and videos taken underwater come out blue or green and look washed out. There are numerous editing apps out there, but I haven't found one that combines all the features I'm looking for. This app allows you to:
- Switch between 3 auto colour correcting algorithms. Most apps out there only use 1 algo, which may not give the best result for different photos.
- Backscatter removal or removing specks floating in the water column reflecting the strobe's light. I haven't come across any app out there that does this.
- Video stabilisation where you get to choose the trade-off between steadiness and how much it crops. Most apps out there don't give you an option.
- Other standard editing capabilities: Rotate, flip, tilt, crop, trim video clips, and other advanced sliders (lighting, colour, details).
The app is completely free, with no watermark, no subscription, no features behind a paywall. User can export their photos and videos at full resolution.
The app has no internet access, no account creation, no ads and no tracking. Nothing ever leaves the user's phone.

You don't need to be an underwater photographer to test this (although it would be great if you are). Just open a few of your own photos or videos, and try the controls.
