Apollo: Immersive illumination2.3.5 - App Store

*** Apollo operates on Portrait Mode photos (requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER). ***

Apollo is the FIRST application that enables you to add light sources to your **Portrait Mode** photos, after the photo was taken! Apollo reconstructs a 3D map of your photo which you can augment with new light sources in real time. Take your portrait mode photographs from awesome to unforgettable by selecting the color, intensity, distance of a light and illuminate your photos and selfies to your heart's content.

***
WARNING: Taking portrait mode photos requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER.
***

Apollo is the first app to use the depth data of your portrait mode photos to calculate photorealistic light and shadow. Using a proprietary processing algorithm running on your iPhone's graphics card, Apollo is able to render light sources on a portrait scene or selfie in real time.

Apollo allows professional photographers and amateurs alike to try things that are not possible in the physical world. You can shape scene lighting by adding or even removing light. Since lights are computationally rendered in the scene, it is possible to put a light source within the frame: say hello to invisible lamps!

The UI is optimised for use with one thumb, allowing you to always view the entire photo. One price, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.

We hope that Apollo is part of the computational photography revolution. We are doing our best but your support is crucial. Send us your feedback, ideas or bug reports on our support email.

--- Follow us on twitter: @Apollo_illum or share with tag: #apollo_illumination 2.0.1 07/25/2018 What's new:
-- Negative lights! Light sources can be turned into light sinks by taking brightness to negative values. This is useful for “molding” other lights and removing original photo highlights. Attention: color of negative brightness sources should be set to white, otherwise the light sink will remove only the negative of the chosen light.
-- Background remove! Easy replacement of scene features based on distance and not color similarity etc. Replace photo background with a black fill color. Starting from infinity, you can remove background information progressively, from back to front.
-- Halo Αdjust: When relighting a subject, you may notice a halo effect around edges. You can now progressively eliminate such artefacts.
-- Duplicate light source: This is useful when you need to place many background lights of the same configuration in order to create a softer and more controlled result. The selected light is copied and placed on the center of the photo.
-- Improved light diffusion model: new algorithm improves on tone mapping across various surfaces, including faces. Light sources appear softer and less likely to “burn” the subject.
-- Global shadows parameter can go to negative values, which can make overall shadows appear more dramatic.

1.0.3:
- Improved help: Help is easier to access and easier to dismiss
- Improved feedback: Feedback on why some pics do not open with Apollo
- Gallery sorting is improved
We understand that some users do not read the disclaimer on supported devices. This is hurting our reviews. There is no way for us to programmatically limit the availability of the app for phones that do not support Portrait Mode. If you bought Apollo but do not own a iPhone 7+, 8+ or X, you can either hold on to the app and use it when you upgrade your phone or request a refund by Apple.

We believe that it is not fair to rate Apollo poorly for something that is irrelevant to the app’s performance.

To all the people who love Apollo: thank you for your kind feedback, ideas, bug reports and social media shares!

*** More features coming soon! ***
