Rake Plus: Relight & Refocus
Fog, dehaze and bokeh by depth
Free · In‑App Purchases
Clear the haze, move the light, add fog and move the focus, free. Rake Plus Pro adds window light, rain and snow, grading by distance, and camera-move clips.
Change the light, the air and the focus of a photo after you took it.
Rake Plus reads how far away every part of your picture is and works from that, the way a real lamp, real fog and a real lens would. Four tools, all on your device.
Portrait photos carry the depth your iPhone measured when it took them. Any other photo works too: Rake Plus estimates its depth on your device.
CLEAR — take the haze out
Haze, smog and smoke thicken with distance. Clear measures how much haze lies at each distance in your photo and removes it by distance: far hills and skylines come back, and the foreground is left alone. Strength sets how much; Protect keeps the far distance and the sky from turning grainy.
RELIGHT — move the light
Drag a lamp across the picture and watch the light wrap around a face and cast real shadows.
• Four classic looks in one tap: Rembrandt, Butterfly, Split and Softbox.
• Three lights like a studio: key, fill and rim.
• Drag a light to move it; pinch to pull it toward you or push it behind your subject.
• Power in stops, depth, size for crisp or soft shadows, warmth, and shadows on or off.
• Original sets how much of the photo's own light to keep.
AIR — fog, mist and shafts of light
Fill the scene with fog that thickens with distance, so your subject stays clear while the background fades. Add a sun, and the fog catches its light: trees, windows and your subject block it, and the light falls through the gaps in shafts. Drag the sun anywhere, even past the edge of the photo.
• Density, where the fog starts, glow and warmth.
• For the sun: power, depth, size, warmth and how strongly the beams show.
LENS — move the focus after the shot
Tap where the photo should be sharp. Everything else blurs the way a real lens would: the farther from the focus, the softer, with your subject's edges kept clean. On Portrait photos of people, the outline your iPhone saved keeps the blur off the hair.
• Aperture, and how deep the sharp zone is.
• The character of the blur: round or bladed, an anamorphic oval, cat's-eye discs at the edges, and the swirl of old portrait lenses.
• Glow: how brightly lights spread into discs.
TOGETHER
The tools stack in order: haze removed first, then your light, then the air, then the lens the whole scene is seen through. Hold Compare at any time to see the photo as it was shot. Share saves or sends the result at full resolution.
RAKE PLUS PRO — four more tools, one purchase
An optional one-time in-app purchase. Try every Pro tool on your own photos first; the purchase is needed to save or share with them.
• WINDOW: sun through blinds, panes or leaves, bending over your subject and shading the wall behind.
• WEATHER: rain or snow through the scene, hidden behind your subject, fading the distance.
• GRADE: colour your subject and the distance apart, with no mask to draw.
• MOTION: a short looping clip from the still — a push-in, a sway or a Vertigo zoom.
MADE TO BE LEARNED
A short guide opens the first time and explains every tool and control. On iPad the photo gets the screen, and the controls fold away when you want to see the whole picture.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device, including estimating depth. Photos come in through the system picker, without access to the rest of your library, and nothing is uploaded: there is no server to upload to. No account, no credits, no subscription, no ads.
TIPS
• Portrait-mode photos work best. In Photos, they are the ones with the ƒ depth control under Edit.
• Sending photos between devices with AirDrop? Choose Options and set Format to Current, so the depth travels with the photo.

Rake is now Rake Plus, with three new tools beside Relight.
CLEAR takes haze, smog and smoke out of a photo by distance: far hills come back, the foreground is left alone.
AIR adds fog, mist and haze that thicken with distance, and a sun whose light falls through trees, windows and doorways in shafts.
LENS moves the focus after the shot, with the blur of a real lens: round or bladed, anamorphic, cat's-eye or swirling. On Portrait photos of people it follows the outline your iPhone saved, so hair stays clean.
Relight is here as before: four looks, three lights, and real shadows from your photo's depth.
The tools stack, so you can clear the haze, relight your subject, add fog and refocus in one photo. Everything still happens on your device, and it is still free.
New too: RAKE PLUS PRO, an optional one-time purchase with four more tools. Window lays sun through blinds, panes or leaves across your subject. Weather adds rain or snow through the scene. Grade colours your subject and the distance apart. Motion makes a short clip from the still: a push-in, a sway or a Vertigo zoom. Try them on your photos before you buy.
