A MORE COMFORTABLE REMOTE WORKFLOW • More room for your photo on a computer, with clearer capture and editing controls. • Gallery thumbnails, clearer loading feedback and more reliable regeneration. • Improved dragging of Subject Focus brackets and the center point. MORE RESPONSIVE FRAME REPAIR • Faster previews when nudging a source frame or changing its assignment. • The source-frame strip keeps its scroll position while you try different frames. • Fixed visible rectangular edges around painted regions. ALSO FIXED • More reliable loading of the 2× Super Resolution model (Pro). • Capture now uses the available physical lenses, without intermediate digital zoom. Frame Repair requires original frames. Regenerate older stacks to enable it.

NEW: FRAME-BY-FRAME REGION EDITING Paint an area of your stack and choose the original frame to use there. Local brightness and color matching helps the selected area blend naturally with the master. Adjust feather and opacity, make small alignment corrections, and undo your changes while keeping the original safe. IMPROVED: A FASTER STACKING ENGINE Faster processing and more refined detail. Regenerate saved stacks and compare the new result with an earlier version. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • A compact editor with more room for the photo • Pinch and pan while painting masks or adjusting an image • More control over fine detail, alongside exposure and color adjustments • A wider feather range for gentler transitions • Updated previews when changing a region’s source frame • Control capture, your gallery and editing from another device’s browser. Original frames are required for region editing. Regenerate older stacks to use it.

Focus on your subject, and keep every result. • Subject Focus — Tap your subject and the series is built around it, from the center outward. What matters is sharp first, even if it moves. • Engine History — Regenerate with a new engine and keep the earlier result. Compare the two in the viewer, delete what you don't need. • Smoother backgrounds — Soft, out-of-focus backgrounds come out even, with no rectangular patches.

Improved detail quality, in every stack. • Dark, noisy scenes — Fine detail that used to go soft now comes through. • Cleaner edges — Outlines stay crisp and clean.

Shoot from a distance, or take just one photo. • Remote Control — Use another phone or a computer's browser as a remote: live view, Focus Range, capture options and shutter. Scan a QR code or share a link; nothing to install, no internet needed. • Single Shot — One photo at the current focus, edited like any result. Pair it with Remote Control to shoot from a distance. • Save or Download — Keep the result on your iPhone, or download the picture from the browser. • Sharper stacks in low light — Fine detail in dark scenes no longer goes hazy.

More refined detail in every stack. • More Refined Detail — Fine textures and thin lines come out better defined and more complete, across the whole picture. • Even Surfaces — Walls, tables, and screens stay smooth, without blotches. • Cleaner Edges — Fewer tears and doubled edges, with more continuous outlines. • Less Glow — Less haze around small lights and bright details. • Update Your Stacks — Open a stack made with an earlier version and tap Regenerate Stack.

A built-in editor to perfect every stack, now with AI. • Built-in Editor — Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, color, and vignette, right inside Zeus. Every change stays adjustable. • Crop and Straighten — Frame your subject, rotate, and level the horizon. • AI Object Removal — Paint over a distraction and AI removes it, right on your iPhone. With Zeus Pro. • 2× in the Editor — Double the resolution of your picture right in the editor, for large prints. With Zeus Pro. • Your Original Stays Safe — Your edit leads, the original is one tap away. Sharing and Picture of the Week use your edit. • Picture of the Week Notifications — Get a notification when your picture earns a medal and when the week's results are in. • Choose Your Notifications — Picture of the Week, News and Releases, and Reminders: turn each one on or off in Settings → Notifications.

We’ve significantly improved image blending for sharper results, more defined textures and finer detail. Set your focus range with two taps: first the nearest point, then the farthest. A more accurate progress bar and clearer focus controls make the experience even simpler.

Minor improvements and fixes. Fixed an issue where opening a project from the gallery right after saving a new one could show another project's images when comparing with the original.

Photos that always land the right way up. FIXED Landscape shots. Photos taken with the phone held sideways now come out the right way up — in your gallery, in Photos, and everywhere you share them. Portrait throughout. The app stays upright wherever you are, while the camera controls keep turning with your phone so every shot is framed the way you intend. IMPROVED Your projects are now always kept at full quality, whatever your plan — the resolution limit applies only when you export or share.

Ultra 48 MP capture, and two engine improvements. NEW Ultra 48 MP — a fourth rung above Max Quality in the capture quality panel. The whole bracket is captured at the sensor's full resolution instead of 12 MP. The rung appears only on iPhones with a 48 MP-class sensor; capturing at that resolution requires Pro. IMPROVED Highlights. When a small bright point falls out of focus it spreads into a disc, and that spilled light used to reach the finished photo as a bloom around highlights. The engine now recognizes the spreading and leaves it out. Across our test brackets the halo shrank in every case where it was present, and fine detail elsewhere is unchanged. Frames that disagree. Where two frames are equally in focus at a point but the content sits in different places — a subject that shifted between shots, a reflection — averaging them showed both copies as doubled edges. On iPhones with enough memory, those regions are now taken whole from the frame that resolves them. The engine decides region by region: taking a region from one frame gives up the noise averaging of combining many, so it only does it where removing the doubling is worth more than the grain it costs. On a dark hand-held bracket it declines almost every region; on a bright, detailed one it takes almost all of them. FIXED Before a stack runs, the app now measures the memory actually available and picks the richest processing it can finish, reducing resolution rather than stopping part-way. Previously it could be terminated during the final merge. Privacy Policy: https://zeusfocusstacking.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://zeusfocusstacking.com/terms

Reliable focus stacking on devices with less memory. FIXED On some devices with less memory (such as iPhone 13 and iPhone SE), the app could close during the final merge step, before your stacked photo was ready. Focus stacks now complete reliably on these devices. Privacy Policy: https://zeusfocusstacking.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://zeusfocusstacking.com/terms

Pro pricing now loads reliably — in every country. FIXED On some storefronts the Pro subscription prices could load forever, making the purchase impossible. Prices now appear worldwide, and if the App Store connection hiccups the paywall shows a Retry option instead of spinning. ALSO Zeus Pro subscriptions are now available in every App Store country.

Non-destructive enhancements — and a better way to see the difference. IMAGE VERSIONS (NON-DESTRUCTIVE) Your stacked photo now stays exactly as captured. Enhanced and Upscale 2× are saved as separate versions you can create on demand, compare, and remove anytime — your original is never overwritten. DETAILS ENHANCE A refined detail pass brings out crisper fine texture and micro-contrast, right from the gallery. UPSCALE 2× Our most advanced neural engine yet doubles resolution — room to crop, and detail that holds up in large prints. (Pro) FULL-SCREEN COMPARE Flip between the original and the enhanced version at full resolution: pinch to 1:1 and press and hold to compare, so even subtle differences are easy to see. Plus refinements to depth handling, stability, and overall polish. Privacy Policy: https://zeusfocusstacking.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://zeusfocusstacking.com/terms

Two big additions in this update. FOCUS RANGE Set Near and Far focus brackets right on the live preview, so each stack sweeps only the depth you care about — no wasted frames. Tap any subject to rack focus straight to that plane, and choose Linear or Macro step distribution for even or close-up-biased coverage. CAPTURE SPEED A new 3-level selector tunes the focus bracket to your shot: Max Speed, Balanced, or Max Quality. Max Speed captures even a 20-frame sequence almost instantly, with lighter per-frame processing; Max Quality runs the full pipeline for maximum per-frame detail. Every stack still exports at full resolution. (Pro; free users get Max Speed.) Plus broader refinements to alignment, stability, and overall polish.
