Glass Tilt Shift

The good: Really quite excellent photographic tilt shift or blur vignette effects. Pops highlights well, and the bokeh are very nicely detailed. Chromatic abberation, option to add grain. Really good stuff. Quite often even desktop applications don't all of this well. The bad: The controls/UI are not terribly intuitive. You won't really know you can move the focal point until you try it. The glow (really should be a secondary effect) is controlled by the slider, which is all you try initially. The different modes along the bottom are not indicated in any helpful way. You really have to play around with this for a bit to get a handle on what it can do. But if you put in a little time, it really is powerful, offering quite good quality. Very organic looking.

Firstly, I need to say that you MUST understand the interface to get the most out of this app. But if you play with the one and two-finger moves and you watch closely what happens with the mask you will soon grasp the power of this tool. Each preset mask behaves differently, and everything resets if you pick a different preset. This makes it difficult to quickly jump between presets, but it also means that each preset is a unique tool for your experimentation. If you like filters that do everything for you, look elsewhere. If you are serious about iPhone photography this app gives you amazing tools you can't get anywhere else. Easily a five star app in my photo editing toolbox.

Great for playing around with DoF, and based on other apps I have that are similar, this app is definitely unique. I don't think the low star reviews are fair at all - it does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's definitely useful to me, but may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're not a serious photographer and don't understand what this app is for.

I lost my favorite tilt shift app to a developer who didn’t want to keep updating it. So, I found this one and it is good. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because you cannot change the parameters of the effect. You only get a straight line of focus on the photo that you can adjust as far as width goes. It would be nice if you would allow for other area shapes like ovals and circles. I find that to be very helpful in producing this desired effect. The other app was a bit better for this effect, but this one is the best since that app. If you could add that ability I will give it 5 stars.

Honestly, I'm not sure why there's negative reviews. I took a chance and bought it and it works great from what I see (I've been playing with it for about an hour). To access your photos, touch the circle in the lower center. I've always loved tilt-shift lens work. Thank you for making this app and for putting in a bunch of different presets.
