AlphaPlugins HDR Portrait turns your Apple device into an incredible art portrait machine. This wonderful app uses artificial intelligence and neural networks to detect faces on photos and separate them from the background. Detected faces are processed with expressive HDR effects. Simultaneously, astonishing artistic effects are applied on the background behind the portraits. Lots of impressive focal background effects, such as different kind of blurs, bokeh with various shapes and others, are available. As its name implies, "AlphaPlugins HDR Portrait" is attended to deal with portraits. If your iPhone supports modern dual cameras and TrueDepth sensors, our app uses them to detect a face and achieve better results. If you're using an old device or taking not portrait photos, then our app can work without modern features by using its own neural network facilities. The basic kit contains a lot of prepared settings presets that allow to quickly apply different combinations of settings on taken photos. These settings combinations demonstrate application possibilities and let you obtain various combinations of application features. If you want to experiment with manually parameters settings, you should buy an extended license, then all appТs adjustable parameters will be available. ## Key features - AI face detection - Expressive HDR portrait effects - Artistic background effects - Customizable blurs and bokeh - Utilizes dual cameras and TrueDepth sensors - Pre-set combinations for quick editing ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: $2.99. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | HDR Portrait premium features | $0.99 | per month | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 21) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hdr-portrait/id1509485271/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-09-01, version 1.0.5* Hey Maxim, have you tested this recently?
