![]() Other benefits to using an app like this is that because it doesn’t use the Telephoto lens, you don’t have to stand so far away, it works far better in low light, and you can apply it (including automatically) to older photos. ![]() It works fairly well, but, and here’s why it’s a worthwhile app for both iPhone 7 Plus users, and everyone else: you can edit the effect.Īpple’s built-in functionality cannot be altered at all, meaning you can’t tweak the subtlety or intensity of the effect, but with FabFocus you can. This works in a similar way to Portrait Mode, allowing you to take photos before producing its own auto-bokeh effect. One of the best we’ve found is an app called FabFocus . On the other hand, the key sell for the iPhone 7 Plus’ Portrait Mode is that it’s all automatic, and since its launch more third-party developers have created tools that mimic this approach. It works well enough but the results are often slightly surreal and fake looking due to its manual selection – but if that’s the effect you’re going for it’s great. This app allows you to shoot photos, or select existing ones and then manually select the subject and produce a blurring of the background. In fact, one app we’ve used before is Tadaa SLR . However, for those that love the cool blurring affect of high-end DSLRs but don’t have the iPhone 7 Plus, it’s still possible to create this affect on other devices using third-party apps. To undo all the changes you’ve made with the Retouch tool in the current editing session, click the Reset button at the lower-right.A promo pic from Apple after the launch of iOS 10.1 If necessary, press Command-Z to undo the last brushstroke you made and have another go at it, perhaps with a smaller brush or by repositioning the item within the brush cursor or by clicking instead of dragging (or vice-versa). Keep your eyes peeled for any smudging that occurs from the pixel blending Photos performs. Release your mouse button, and Photos copies nearby pixels and blends them into the area you dragged over.īy dragging with a really small brush, you can give your subject an eyebrow trim, as illustrated in this before (top) and after (bottom) image. When you do, Photos shows your brushstroke as a white overlay. If the item has plenty of free pixels around it, but it doesn’t fit within a round brush cursor-think stray hairs, power lines, a scar, and so on-click and drag with the tool instead. To keep from picking up adjacent colors-like the lips or shadow beneath her nose, make your cursor only slightly larger than the item you want to remove. Use the Zoom slider at the upper-left to zoom into the image and, if necessary, drag while holding down the spacebar to reposition the image so you can see the thing you’re about to remove. To use it, select an image in Photos and then press Return to enter Edit mode, or press the Edit button in the upper-right of the toolbar. ![]() ![]() The Retouch tool works by copying pixels from one area of your photo to another and then blending them (blurring, really) into the pixels you click or drag atop. As you’re about to learn, Photos’ Retouch tool is more powerful than the one in iPhoto. Happily, the Retouch tool in Photos for OS X can come to your rescue (it’s not available in Photos for iOS). Or maybe you captured an object in the frame you wish you hadn’t, or you scanned the image and introduced dust specks, or perhaps your camera’s sensor is a little dirty. After all, sometimes a perfectly good portrait is marred by small yet annoying stuff like a zit, makeup smudge, or a stray hairs. There’s nothing wrong with a little vanity.
