Curves, masks & film looks
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Our big update: on-device AI removal and reflection reduction. Try for 3 days, then unlock the Full Version with a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription.
Your photo lab for iPhone and iPad: Develop RAW, JPEG and HEIF photos, remove distractions and shape light, color and depth. Photo editing and every AI calculation run on your device. Your originals stay intact.
TRY FREE, UNLOCK ONCE
The app is free to download. The free “3-Day Trial” in-app purchase unlocks every feature for 72 hours. Continued use then requires the Full Version as a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription or automatic renewal. Every feature shown here is included in both the trial and the full version.
REMOVE DISTRACTIONS
• AI Removal: Paint over an area, fill it from the surrounding image on your device and review the result before applying it
• Smart repair for small distractions; manual cloning for precise corrections
• Repairs stay attached to the subject when you rotate or correct perspective later
REFLECTIONS & POLARIZER LOOK
• Reduce reflections with on-device AI, adjust the strength and limit the correction with masks
• A simulated polarizer look for skies, color and contrast
• Results depend on the photo. The effect does not replace a physical polarizing filter or recover detail that was never captured
LIGHT, COLOR & MASKS
• Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, white point and black point
• White balance, vibrance, saturation, curves and selective color
• Brush, radial and linear gradient masks for local adjustments
• Generate subject, background and sky masks on your device
PERSPECTIVE, DEPTH & BOKEH
• Crop, straighten and correct converging lines
• Depth blur using an embedded or locally estimated depth map
• Adjust the focus point, aperture effect, aperture shape and bokeh
MAKE THE LOOK YOURS
• Simulated lens characters, vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberration
• Optical filter effects, diffusion, halation and light stars
• Film looks, grain and paper characteristics
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
• Save and reopen local projects with the original, edits and history
• Undo and redo changes
• Export a new JPEG copy and share it with the iOS share sheet
EDIT PRIVATELY
No photo uploads by the app, no separate user account, no tracking and no ads. Photo editing works offline. Unlocks and purchases use Apple’s StoreKit; selected iCloud files or external sharing destinations may require a connection.
PRICING & UNLOCK
• Full Version: a one-time in-app purchase; the price is shown before you buy
• After the trial, importing, editing and exporting require the Full Version
• Existing Full Version unlocks remain valid; this update requires no additional feature purchase
