Excellent application

It makes amazing things to a photo. Easy and most of the times the default settings are more than sufficient. Highly reccomented

A great for iPad and iPhone pictures.

Brings dark areas out of shadow. Emphasizes colors. Wonderful.

I use it after I’ve edited and cropped in other programs. OrasisHD is a key part of my #iphonery.

I love this app.

It works well, they are generous with what you can do in the app and I'm grateful. :-)

Even the example photo here shows the flaw in this app

It is trying to balance everything from the darkened image which is too dark for this app to edit. It brought up the grain and oversaturated the rest of the photo to try to make up for it. I’m sure if the app designer were to redo their photos, maybe not from the same vacation, but similarly nice setting they would use the flash to light their subjects in the darker foreground and the app can then have more light to allow the photo to look like how the eye perceived it. The photo end result above doesn’t make me want to waste the space on my phone.

I don’t want to bash the Dev’s hard work totally. Not even gonna one or two-star it. But please fix the image you submitted. I bet your app works fine with normal lighting situations. Where the lighting is not as extreme between the subject and scenery. But the one above, was just under-lit in the foreground and the final edit was not the best choice to show with the end result requiring a few more apps to try to repair it and possibly degrade it further.

This image could be in the app manual showing the limits of the app to users show how to obtain best results and where the limits are. Then show the newer young photographers how to get the best daylight images. It’s hard to fill in data for light that isn’t there . Sometimes you must over-expose the image a bit then let the app darken it in post.

Works

It works well but could use updated. The auto mode severely over saturates. You can correct it in the editor but time gets wasted having to do it.

Overall the app does a good job. But you do have to learn how to use it as it is a little wonky. But the results will be worth the time to learn the apps strengths and weaknesses

FAQ

What does OrasisHD do?

OrasisHD is a photo editing application that automatically transforms a single image into a well-exposed, natural-looking photograph. It enhances dark and bright regions to reveal previously invisible information while leaving well-exposed areas unaffected.

How does OrasisHD achieve its results?

The app utilizes a proprietary image processing algorithm based on academic research. This algorithm specifically targets dark and bright areas of an image to enhance detail and improve overall exposure, simulating how the human eye perceives a scene.

Is OrasisHD free to use?

OrasisHD is a paid application. However, there is a free version available, named 'Orasis', which you can try before purchasing OrasisHD to ensure it meets your needs.

What makes OrasisHD unique?

A key unique feature of OrasisHD is its ability to enhance dark and bright image regions without affecting already well-exposed areas. This ensures a natural look and prevents over-processing in parts of the image that are already correctly exposed.

Who is OrasisHD for?

This app is designed for users who want to improve the quality of their photos taken with a single shot. It's particularly useful for capturing scenes with challenging lighting conditions, aiming for a natural and well-balanced final image.
