FocalLab professional looking DOF/lens effects to your iPhone photos
Description
FocalLab brings professional looking DOF/lens effects to your photos by adding the missing feature of focusing to your iPhone!
“FocalLab does a good job at what it sets out to do, particularly if you’re looking to add effects like soft blurs, zooming effects, or motion blurs to add a sense of action to your photos.” – Macworld 4 of 5 star review.
Unlike other blur/soft apps, FocalLab creates GRADUATED blur surrounding an in-focus area. Simply drag and pinch with two fingers to move and change the size/blurness of the sharp area. Now you can emphasize the subject of interest and enhance composition without expensive professional lens.

FILTERS:
- Dreamy Blur
Frequently used by wedding and fashion photographers – a soft/mist filter to give your portrait or landscape shot a dreamy and glowing effect. - Soft Focus
A smooth blur to add Depth of Field effect, separating cluttered background from the subject of interest. - Zoom Blur
Simulates a technique used with a zoom lens equipped camera by zooming the lens while taking the picture. This “zooming” effect brings a super dynamic look. - Motion Blur
Add motion blur to the background and create a dynamic scene with ease. To change the direction of the motion, just swipe your finger across the screen.
[Mar 25, 2009] FocalLab reviewed by Macworld:
“Plenty of image editors vie for your attention at the App Store. Rather than try to compete by offering to do everything, FocalLab concentrates on selective focus” … “With four types of filters as of this writing, the app from Nexvio handles this specialized editing well.”
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch. Requires iPhone OS 2.1 or later.
