Here are some pics taken this weekend in Savannah.

Focos (with the pro purchase) lets you adjust the start/end point and which slices are affected by both the front and back bokeh. It also lets you simulate different styles of bokeh and different aperture diaphragm shapes (like, you can get the triangular bokeh from the legendary Zeiss B Speeds, or just simulate different aperture positions on a traditional lens. Biggest benefit for me the swirl, dust, decay, bilinear, and corrosion settings that make it easy to squeeze the most organic looking depth of field rendering instead of relying on the predetermined stock blur.
It doesn't let you modify the depth map / mask in and out because I think it's a lot more complex than that. I'm still holding out hope for an app that can manually fine tune edges and stuff, but if you take a photo in Focos and go into the "EFFECT" tab, pull the perspective slider around and see just how many layers of depth are available nowawadays. I believe when the 7 Plus launched they boasted being able to find 9 slices of depth - now it looks like hundreds and hundreds.
I've saved poorly defined hair edges and stuff by simply adjusting which slice the blur begins at in Focos, though. The shot I posted earlier of the dog peeking out the van window originally mis-blurred the hair around his head. I nudged the start point a few slices forward and back until it solved the issue. YMMV.
So I downloaded Focos, and tried to edit the picture of the silver-haired gentleman in my original post in order to clean up the messed up bokeh around his sunglasses, but am not having any luck. The tutorials aren't that helpful. How do you use it to clean up images?try the app called 'focos' - it lets you edit the depth map to push the blur back a few layers. Won't always work, but if you're lucky you'll be able to bring those glasses back into focus.
I wish focos worked well on ipad. On my 10.5 pro it isn't usable, and for photo editing the larger the screen the better really.
edit: cross posting from another thread in case it is helpful:
I'd like to experiment more with portrait mode. apps like focos and anamorphic let you see the different depth layers and adjust the amount of blur and even depth of field. Curious how flexible it can be vs proper DoF on a DSLR
Example - shot at a monument near the tower of London last week. This was originally one photos, but using focos to change the focus point when editing the photo. Because the original is artificially blurring the background, the original photo has detail in the background and depth information from comparing the wide and telephoto images - using focos you can see the 'slices' from foreground to background.
You can also adjust the strength of the blur, and the depth of field. I increased the blur to help illustrate the selective focus.

It's the user, not the camera.I must be found something wrong. Because my X photos do not look much different to me than my 6s photos.
Mine are the 2 photos above. I know professional photographers understand the photo talk way more than I ever will, I’m just the basic I like to take photos everywhere type person. I’m really loving the iPhone X.

very nice!
