The camera you already carry, made better.
Pick a lens, set the depth, choose a look. Lumar takes care of the rest.

Lenses
Think in focal lengths again.
21, 28, 35, 50, 75, 100 and 120 mm: the lenses photographers learn to see in. Set the aperture, and the background melts away or stays sharp from front to back.
35 mm · f/2
Depth Effect
Lumar maps depth with highly tuned models and your iPhone’s own sensors, then blurs the background the way a real lens does. Longer lenses and wider apertures soften more.
Specular Bokeh
Small, bright lights behind your subject spread into soft highlights, the way they do through a fast lens.
Styles
Color, chosen before you shoot.
Fifteen styles, from clean, true color to rich creative looks and black and white. Each one shows live in the viewfinder, and the photo is saved just as you saw it.
Original
Koda
Save your own
Put a style together with grain, white balance and a filter, and save it as a recipe. One tap brings the whole look back.
Favorites
Star the styles you reach for, and they wait together at the front.
Filters
Glow, rays and flare.
Each filter goes on before the style, so a glow or a flare belongs to the scene instead of sitting on top of it.
Bloom
Highlights glow and spread like a mist filter.
Star
Points of light throw star rays.
Streak
A horizontal flare through bright lights.
Grad ND
Holds back a bright sky.
Soft Edge
A clear center that softens toward the edges.
Hover or hold a picture to see it without the filter.
Editor
Change the focus after the shot.
Every Lumar photo remembers how it was made. Open it again to focus on someone else, soften the background more or less, or change the look and the frame.

Look
Change the style, its strength, the grain, the white balance or the filter.

Focus
Pick another lens or aperture, or move the focus.
