## What is Lightly?

A little edit. A different feeling.

Lightly is a photo editor for bringing out the light and finding your colour. Every part of the picture is in one place, so you can move from a look to a softer background, a portrait detail or your signature without leaving the photo. Undo is always in reach, and Save makes a new copy, so your original stays untouched.

PRESETS
• 513 looks in nine collections: Essentials, Cinema, Film, Daylight, Golden Hour, Night, Moody, Portrait and Black & White
• Live thumbnails of every look on your own photo
• Adjust the strength of any preset, and keep favourites close
• Auto finds a starting point with one tap

PORTRAIT
• Smooth skin, brighten eyes and refine the face
• Bring out a smile
• Works per face when there are several people in the photo

BACKGROUND
• Focus & Blur: soft, depth-aware background blur that keeps your subject sharp
• Change the background to an image, a colour or a gradient
• Refine the edges by hand

EDIT
• Crop, rotate, straighten and fix perspective
• Remove: brush over anything you don't want in the picture

EFFECTS
• Light leaks from real film
• Grain and vignette
• Selective Colour: keep chosen colours and turn the rest black and white

TEXT, WATERMARK AND BORDER
• Add text in a choice of fonts and weights
• Sign your photos with your own signature, your name or a logo
• Simple borders, photo frames and an instant-photo frame with room for a signature

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No Lightly account
• Editing happens on your device; your photos are not uploaded
• Choose whether saved copies keep camera details and location

Made for iPhone and iPad, with a two-pane layout on larger screens.
