Description
*** Apollo operates on Portrait Mode photos (requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER). ***
Apollo is the FIRST application that enables you to add light sources to your **Portrait Mode** photos, after the photo was taken! Apollo reconstructs a 3D map of your photo which you can augment with new light sources in real time. Take your portrait mode photographs from awesome to unforgettable by selecting the color, intensity, distance of a light and illuminate your photos and selfies to your heart's content.
***
WARNING: Taking portrait mode photos requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER.
***
Apollo is the first app to use the depth data of your portrait mode photos to calculate photorealistic light and shadow. Using a proprietary processing algorithm running on your iPhone's graphics card, Apollo is able to render light sources on a portrait scene or selfie in real time.
Apollo allows professional photographers and amateurs alike to try things that are not possible in the physical world. You can shape scene lighting by adding or even removing light. Since lights are computationally rendered in the scene, it is possible to put a light source within the frame: say hello to invisible lamps!
The UI is optimised for use with one thumb, allowing you to always view the entire photo. One price, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
We hope that Apollo is part of the computational photography revolution. We are doing our best but your support is crucial. Send us your feedback, ideas or bug reports on our support email.

Ratings and Reviews
Great illumination app
This is great for enhancing your «portrait» shots with 3D info embedded: it’s easy to add realistic lighting to the foreground subject (or to the background).
BUT the app removes the bokeh blur, and there’s no way to get it back or adjust bokeh! Wish this will come back in a mater version.
Minor issue is also there’s no fall-off/fade/soft edge for the mask. You’ll get a noticable edge.
All in all an app well worth getting. Can easily save images where your subject is too dark, but also be used to make creative effects or pull focus to certain parts of the image through light and shadow.

Hello thomas1973,
fist of all thanks for the thorough feedback!
Regarding "BUT the app removes the bokeh blur, and there’s no way to get it back or adjust bokeh! Wish this will come back in a mater version.": We have good news! Apollo removes the background blur in order to adjust lighting in the background with precision. You can enable the blurring again after saving the photo in your photo library. Open the saved photo with the native photos app, tap edit and then tap on the top of the screen the 'portrait' label to turn it on! That's it. Now the photo is being treated by all programs are a normal portrait mode photo.
"Minor issue is also there’s no fall-off/fade/soft edge for the mask. You’ll get a noticable edge.": There is a parameter in Apollo called Halo, it is the rightmost parameter in the global parameters (shadows, effect range, background remove, fog, halo). When you adjust halo you can somewhat or completely eliminate these kinds of artefacts you mention.

Thanks again for your rating and feedback!
This was disappointing
Get ready to transform your finest moments into art...IF you manage to take pictures with depth data as this app requires. It sounds easy, but I’m stuck with my 6 photos Apollo found when I installed it, no matter what I do. I have portraits with and without blurry backgrounds but it don’t seems to matter.
