Phocus: DSLR Portrait Camera

We are happy to receive your positive feedback about Phocus. We keep improving the app and try to give you the best possible experience. Here's what we have done in this update: Depth-Driven Engine Swap out our old segmentation-only effects for real, per-pixel depth data. Your portraits and composited scenes will have far more realistic focus transitions and bokeh. Improved Portrait Segmentation & Hybrid Mode We’ve sharpened our classic cut-out masks for cleaner edges, and added a brand-new hybrid option that intelligently blends portrait segmentation with real depth masking—perfect for tricky scenes where you need the best of both worlds. Feel free to swap in whichever phrasing you like best; this calls out both the quality improvements and your third “combined” mode. Tap-to-Focus Touch anywhere on your image to instantly refocus at that distance. It’s precise, intuitive, and perfect for quick adjustments. Enhanced Focus Slider Our redesigned slider gives you finer control over your depth-of-field—drag slowly for subtle shifts or snap to extremes for dramatic blur. Brand New Lenses EdgeGlass 85: A cinematic wide-angle lens with cool-toned depth, subtle barrel distortion, and horizontal flare streaks that sharpen and dramatize edges. GlowFrame 50: A vintage-inspired portrait optic that wraps subjects in a soft radial glow with gentle color shifts and a fading vignette for creamy, film-like warmth. Fresh Blur Filters Five brand-new blur styles let you go way beyond standard portrait blur. Please contact us via [email protected] if you have any other bug reports. If you're enjoying Phocus, please consider leaving a review on the App Store. Thanks!

We are happy to receive your positive feedback about Phocus. We keep improving the app and try to give you the best possible experience. Here's what we have done in this update: - Say hello to Relight: a new lighting workflow with 2D and 3D modes. - Sunlight and Focus Light controls for depth‑aware lighting - Stability and performance improvements - Minor bug fixes.

This update brings a major upgrade to relighting, depth processing, and scene understanding across the app. 3D Relight for All Photos -3D relighting is no longer limited to photos with native camera depth data. -You can now use 3D relight on all photos thanks to the new model-based depth pipeline. Brand New 2D Relight System -Added 2D relight filters for the first time. -Introduced both Bulb and Focus Light lighting types in 2D. -Improved Focus Light behavior so it works much more reliably and naturally. -Better Depth Model Upgraded the app’s depth estimation model significantly. -Depth-based editing is now much more accurate in both the editor and the camera. -This improves relight quality, masking, depth-aware filters, and other scene-dependent effects. New Foreground Masking -Added a new Foreground Mask for object segmentation. -Unlike portrait masking, it is designed for broader foreground object selection. -The previous foreground workflow was improved and evolved into the new Hybrid mode. Improved 3D Scene Quality - 3D rendering has been improved significantly. - The 3D scene now looks cleaner, more stable, and more usable during relight editing. - Multiple light geometry issues were fixed, resulting in more accurate light placement and behavior. Overall Relight Improvements -Bulb lighting was added as a new lighting option. -Focus lighting was refined substantially. -Many issues related to light direction, range, targeting, and scene interaction were resolved. Home Screen Widget - Added a new Home Screen widget with quick actions. - You can now open the depth camera of Phocus instantly from the widget. - You can also jump directly back into editing your most recent photo from the widget.

After extensive work and refinement, this update brings one of the biggest improvements yet to Phocus. Phocus now delivers a much more refined depth and bokeh editing experience. Aperture and lens edits can be exported in full resolution, including from the Share Extension, while focus behavior has been redesigned to feel more natural and precise. Bokeh now responds more realistically across the scene, highlights look cleaner and less artificial, and the new focus range control gives you finer control over how wide or narrow the sharp area feels. This update also brings improved lens rendering, optimizations to older lenses, brand-new lens options, dedicated lens info pages, and a more polished lens browsing experience. Vivid looks more natural, masking and depth workflows are more consistent, relight tools feel more integrated, and the overall UI/UX has been refined across the app. The result is a faster, cleaner, and more photographic editing workflow throughout Phocus.

We’ve been working hard for months on this: the all-new Phocus DSLR Camera is finally here - one of our biggest camera updates yet. Here is what we worked on: NEW PHOCUS CAMERA Shoot directly inside Phocus with a completely redesigned camera experience built for portrait photography. Use Auto for fast everyday captures, Manual for DSLR-style ISO, shutter, white balance, and focus control, or Portrait for depth-aware lens looks and aperture control. SMARTER DEPTH CAPTURE Choose the depth source that fits the scene: native Dual/TrueDepth camera depth, LiDAR depth on supported iPhones, or on-device AI depth for more creative flexibility. Capture a portrait, then keep refining it in the editor with its depth, lens, aperture, focus, crop, and style choices preserved. LIVE PORTRAIT PREVIEW The Portrait viewfinder has been rebuilt to feel closer to the final image. Blur now responds to focus depth, aperture, lens character, and scene structure in real time, giving you a more photographic preview before capture. It is one of the most important parts of the new camera experience: less guessing, more intentional portraits. LENS LOOKS with CHARACTER Each portrait lens has been carefully crafted with its own photographic character, from clean depth blur to soft glow, swirl, highlight bloom, and expressive bokeh behavior. Standard, Classic, CineClassic, Portrait, Velvet Glow, Dream, Petz, Noct, and more also include simple guides to help you choose the right look before shooting. NEW 3D LUT LOOKS Shape color before you shoot with new in-camera 3D LUTs. Explore Daily, Editorial, Vintage, Monochrome, and Signature looks designed to pair naturally with the new portrait lenses and depth-aware camera pipeline. MORE PRO CAMERA TOOLS The new camera goes beyond basic capture. Manual mode gives you ISO, shutter speed, white balance, focus, exposure control, focus peaking, zebra highlights, and Luma/RGB histograms. On the output side, you can keep things light with HEIF or JPEG, switch to RAW or ProRAW for deeper editing, or pair a processed JPEG with a RAW or ProRAW file when you want both a ready-to-share image and a flexible original. Capture settings also include resolution choices, Prioritize Fast Shooting for faster follow-up shots, Maximum Processing for the highest-quality capture path, and Preserve Manual Exposure for a more intentional manual workflow. CAMERA CONTROL SUPPORT On supported iPhones, Phocus integrates with Camera Control so you can adjust zoom, exposure, focus, aperture, and portrait lenses from the physical control. Auto mode brings zoom and EV, Manual mode brings zoom and focus, and Portrait mode brings aperture, EV, and lens selection. BETTER CAMERA ROLL Photos captured in Phocus are saved to your Photos library and collected in the Phocus album, with depth-aware capture details preserved so you can reopen, review, and continue editing them later. DESIGNED for iPad, TOO The new Phocus Camera includes a dedicated iPad experience with layouts built specifically for the larger screen. Rails, histograms, floating panels, shutter controls, aspect ratios, and landscape orientation have all been refined so shooting on iPad feels intentional, spacious, and consistent with the iPhone camera workflow. MORE REFINED PORTRAIT CAPTURES We spent a lot of time refining how depth works across every camera lens: Wide, Ultra Wide, Telephoto, front camera, native depth, LiDAR, and AI depth. Portrait preview, focus depth, aperture behavior, zoom, crop, blur falloff, saved depth data, and final rendered results were all tuned to stay visually consistent from viewfinder to capture. The goal is simple: what you see while composing should feel connected to the portrait you get, and the portrait you capture should remain ready for deeper editing in Phocus. If you enjoy the new Phocus Camera, we would be so grateful for your App Store review or feedback. It helps us keep improving the app and truly means a lot to our small team.
