Even Photos Taken by Non-Leica Devices Can Use Leica Looks

I'm using an iOS system, and it seems that as long as a photo is in JPG format and added to the Leica album in the iOS Photos app, Leica Fotos will include it in the gallery, allowing you to apply Leica Looks to it. Does Leica want everyone to use Leica Looks, or is this just a bug?

No. The App just uses any jpg.

Jpg is jpg. There is nothing Leica about it and “Leica Looks”  are nothing but jpg presets, dreamt up by somebody in Leica’s employ.

It applies the look to any image that hasn’t had a look already applied in camera.

Leica Looks ok, but you can't beat a good carpet.

I’m not here to argue about what the 'Leica Looks' are; I’m simply pointing out that the filter feature on the Leica Fotos app, named 'Leica Looks,' can now be applied to any JPG photos. It's no longer exclusive.

"Leica look" IRL is not something you digitally slap on a jpg.

I offered no argument.
