Description

Focos is a big step into the future of computational photography and light-field camera, bringing DSLR-like photography to your iPhone and iPad Pro, with beautiful bokeh effects usually achievable only with professional large aperture cameras. With the technology of computational photography, you can make unlimited changes to your photos, focus after the fact, change the aperture repeatedly, and add multiple lights in 3D space, exceeding the limits of any editing tools you’ve known before. The creative potential unleashed by Focos is endless.

The Verge,
"Focos has long been one of the most ambitious photo-editing apps on iOS, turning any photo into a 'portrait mode'-style image with fully adjustable depth of field, no matter what kind of camera you took it with."

MAIN FEATURES
- Take photos with shallow depth of field, without manually painting or making selections.
- The AI engine can calculate depth of field automatically for all photos.
- True 3D imaging.
- Simulate large apertures to create real bokeh effects normally only possible with DSLR cameras and expensive lenses.
- Import all existing photos and customize the bokeh effect.
- Re-focus portrait photos that have already been taken, with a simple tap.
- Choose from various simulated aperture diaphragms to generate different bokeh spot effects.
- Professional options to simulate lens characteristics, such as creamy, bilinear, swirly, and reflex effects, and more.
- Visualize the depth of areas within your portrait photos in a 3D view, and intuitively add depth filters.
- Add multiple lights in a 3D space, and adjust the color, brightness and so on for each light.
- Check the portrait picture in the real world with augmented reality technique.
- It is possible to patch the depth map precisely on iPad with Apple Pencil.

Better than photoshop!

I use photoshop to edit photos and posters, it is good but complicated. And almost impossible to use on iPhone. Photoshop is the #1 when it comes to posters and text for me. But when it comes to photo editing and detailing, this app is the best in the business! I was amazed when I first saw the 3D effects on my favourite portrait photos! I love photography on plants, cities and Diecast cars, and for editing those photos this app has become my daily driver! (Pun intended) This app is my go-to for recommendations for friends. I don’t know what I would do without it! Great app!!
One thing though… I would love to see the ability to add text, emojis and such. I still have to use photoshop to add watermarks and hashtags so I would love to see it make its way over to this app. Other than that it’s perfect!!!

Almost there

A wonderful app with potential for improvement. The patch feature is pretty rough. It allows you to retouch depth masks by painting over them with a brush, which is finicky. It would benefit from a dodge and burn tool, allowing misaligned depth information to be corrected locally and globally without having to worry about edges bleeding into one another. The brush magnifier would be more useful if it was toggle-able, instead of appearing when painting slowly. And a tap-and-hold colour picker would make selecting a colour range far more intuitive than having to swap to the depth-colour slider. Alternatively, the ability to export and import the depth masks would remedy this issue by offloading editing to another app. The UI feels like it needs a polish pass: the padding of UI elements and icon choice don’t feel ‘professional’, and certain UI elements are hard to interact with, such as the front and back bokeh sliders in the effect tool.

Extraordinary

I have never bothered review an app before, but I felt compelled to write one for Focos. This app is remarkable. It does things that professional desktop software cannot. It is better than a DSLR in many ways, because you can change focus distance and aperture after the fact. You can also change the character of bokeh to simulate a clean a modern lens, wild vintage anamorphic, or anything in between. You can edit depth mattes to fix annoying errors (usually around hair). And on top of all that, you can re-light photos after shooting them in a simulated 3D environment. I would pay hundreds of dollars for Focos it I needed to. It’s that good.
