Focos 4+

The most amazing photo editing app you’ve ever seen

Once you learn the basics, this app will completely blow your mind. It’s not an app for the casual user. It’s an app for the photo enthusiast who wants to win the photo contest every time. The possibilities are nearly endless when it comes to your 3D/portrait photos. Literally add new lighting sources (like a light bulb) to your photos as if they were there when the photo was taken, even allowing photos taken in the dark to spring to life with light and color; squeeze in blurring or glowing effects behind your photo subject that simulate motion or weather; heck, add in a completely different background. Once you’ve figured it all out, it’s up to YOU to just set the scene. This app along with the Hallide Camera App will make you feel like a photographer extraordinaire! Can’t say enough good things about it.

My ONLY wish is that it allowed you to save photos with the depth map still embedded. Since Focos only really lets you change lighting and staging aspects (and not actually alter the photo) I would think this should be possible. But these guys are such geniuses with what they’ve done here, it must be something I’m not thinking about that makes this feature untenable.

Next version will bring the history function which can save the modified depth map for further editing. Thank you.

Great App for the “Bokeh” Effect

I had a iPhone 7 Plus and a Google Pixel 3 that had the hardware and software to take Bokeh effect pictures naturally. Well I wanted an iPhone 8. Not the 8 Plus because I wanted something smaller for my hands. The iPhone 8 doesn’t have the additional camera that it needs to take Bokeh pictures like the 7 and 8 Pluses have. It certainly doesn’t have the amazing software that the Google Pixel 3 has where it’s able to take Bokeh pictures with its ONE CAMERA! So I did the next best natural thing and searched online for any apps that can take Bokeh like pictures. Google recommended me this app! It certainly does take great Bokeh pictures, AND it also modified some of the past pictures you took that’s already in your gallery. So it makes those pictures have the Bokeh/Blur effect too! It’s wonderful and beautiful really! I am really pleased with this app. It also will either make a copy of the blurred/bokeh picture and you can keep your original unsalted photo, or it offers to overwrite/modify your original picture to make it seem like you originally took a picture with a Bokeh effect! It’s wonderfully and a Godsend for the iPhones who don’t have the portrait lenses! Like the 5s and above! 😍🤩

Still loving this app

I do underwater photography with my iPhone and find this an indispensable tool.
I love this app, and I recommend it to everybody who is shooting anything macro with their iPhone.
There’s still a lot of things I would like to see improved. More zoom in patch and better patch options! The pop-up zoom window when working on details doesn’t actually zoom in more than the main window. I’d like to see better line definitions, or way to highlight the lines when trying to patch. Apple Pencil integration, my fat fingers can only do so well with the current set up.
I realize it’s completely nich but better outlining and identification of sea creatures so that does a better job of mapping around fine hair like tentacles and fins (total corner cases).
When shooting with raw, it removes any configurations already applied in other applications when you open it and focus, I’d like a way to either preserve the other edits or better editing, and particularly tools for color balancing.
Color, brown blue and green waters specially within intense levels, such as in northern CA is an art form, So it’s frustrating to have to switch between so many apps to get it done… only to end up back to lose any of that work. Partly a workflow problem, but still frustrating.
I’d like to be able to build a few of my own preset filters so I can quickly apply effects the images that I use as a regular basis, such as brightness split back ground down 80%, hdr 10, contrast 10 etc.
