Even though I couldn't mask the objects quite the way I wanted, I was able to achieve a really good looking depth effect by adjusting the aperture and adding a filter. I love the variety of blur and aperture options. You can't cross the foreground and background lines, so I struggled to fit between two objects that I wanted to mask. I found it difficult to use when I was trying to work with details. You can even add stickers and markups, if that's your bag.

Finalize the photo by adding a filter or vignette. You can also adjust the type of blur used by selecting a different aperture. You can then use either a lens blur or motion blur to create a different effect, depending on what look you want to achieve. You can fine-tune any mistakes by adding more lines to a specific area. Then, you draw a second line, creating the background. Instead of 'painting' a mask inside of an object, you draw a line around the subject of your photo. If you don't want to do much work to get the Fauxtrait mode look, Patch makes it the easiest, while still looking pretty good.ĪfterFocus has a unique masking mechanism. Not perfect, but better at it than the rest. There aren't very many options, other than adjusting the level of blur intensity – you can't even take a photo from within the app - but it is the best at automatically blurring the background of all of the apps I've used. There are five different levels of blur, so you can go wild, making a single image really pop, or you can tone it down for that perfect depth effect look.

You can even play around with your lighting. You can adjust the size of the brush, and can pinch-to-zoom and get really close, which is a huge bonus for masking those tiny little areas.

It pretty much never gets it exactly right, but you can mask out the parts that you do or don't want blurred after it automatically applies the effect. Patch is great for automagically creating the background blur, no matter what the object is (it doesn't have to be a face).
