Rake Plus

Rake Plus changes the light, the air and the focus of a photo after it was taken, on iPhone and iPad.

It reads how far away every part of the picture is, and works from that the way a real lamp, real fog and a real lens would: it clears haze by distance, relights with real shadows, fills the air with fog and shafts of light, and moves the focus. Portrait photos bring their own depth; for any other photo Rake Plus estimates it.

• Clear: haze, smog and smoke taken out by distance
• Relight: drag a lamp across the picture, with five studio looks and three lights
• Air: fog that thickens with distance, and a sun that casts shafts through it
• Lens: move the focus after the shot, with round, bladed, anamorphic or swirly blur
• Also in the Photos app as an editing extension, with edits you can reopen
• Rake Plus Pro adds Window, Weather, Grade and Motion, Live Photo merges, borders and Recipes
