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

Good auto adjustments

‘Contre-jour’ photos are effortlessly corrected. You are able to manually correct, but the auto feature truly removes the guesswork in adjustments. Good app.

Incredible enhancements

There are so many photo apps. This is the first that I’ve tried that makes a dramatic change in my close up shots of models, automatically. The app design is not 5 star material but the degree of photo improvement is so dramatic it demands 5 stars for that feature, alone. And to do so automatically is a huge time saver to those of us who are not skilled photographers.

Awesome

Very easy to navigate the functions of this app.

quick and easy way to brighten dark pictures

I love this app. So much easier to lighten dark pictures with this app than using the robust but complicated tools that are available-and which I have. Orasis is an important, go-to tool in my graphics tool box.

Better than iPhone camera

This app takes really great photos in hard to shoot places. It is not easy to figure out how to use and having to save before each new shot makes it not handy. Would love to see it easier to use.

Navigation improvements would move this into four or five star territory

Many others have addressed the functionality of the app and filters, I don't have much to add there.

What I do have to add is that there are some basic navigational issues. When composing a photo if the shot isn't what the user is after - the "+" sign allows a new photo to be takenwithout saving the current photo.

This was not intuitive to me. Seems more logical if that were an "x" to better indicate the desire to escape or close the current view/window so that I might take a new photo.

Also in the "⭐️" filter area, it appears that any selection will immediately overwrite any changes a user might have made manually. A preview mode for filters, or a way to return to cutsom adjustments would be appreciated.

Just a little finesse on the interface would push this into four or five star territory.

A life saver in some situations

I don't need to use this app often but when I do, it can be a life saver. It take some time to learn to use the Manual mode but it worth the effort.

Stopped Working! Nooooooooo!!

This is a GREAT app! I paid for it because I LOVE IT... But now that I’ve paid for it stopped several months later. Why? So...I deleted it and downloaded it again... Still nothing. No side menu to “+” photo or “arrow” to save photo. Just a blank screen over my intended photo image. When I take the photo, it throws me out of the program entirely to my home screen and no image is in my photos file. I am bummed out! (It does work on my iPad.)

App wont open

This app won’t open. I just get the continuous circle? Any advice developers?

Works well

It takes one photo at a time which must then be saved before taking another but on auto, each photo compensates for poor light etc and ensures a perfect image without having to edit.

Response from developer

Taking photos in rapid succession is not something that Orasis was designed to do, and as such, it was never advertised anywhere (Appstore or our webpage). The save process takes approximately 2-3sec per photo in all contemporary devices. Regarding the 'cumbersome' usability, we would be very grateful if you highlighted some particular things that we could improve. Most of our updates come from suggestions that our users made. We would be happy to implement any suggestion that helps make Orasis better. We will try to update the request for comments in our next updates. Thank you for your feedback.

I like it

It brings back faces that are hidden in dark shadows. I use it frequently.

Great restoration

I was able to greatly improve old photos of value to be. Also having fun with the program in general. It's also great for adding dramatic shadows to clouds and other effects.

Best photo app!

Thanks

Just makes photos look weird

This app claims to enhance photos, and I tried about five different photos before deciding my opinion on this app. Basically, it just makes every picture that needs the exposure change seem orange and weird. I can’t say that I would ever use this considering that, so I deleted it.

It Improves the Original

I’ve only used this about 5 times. It is a marked improvement over the original and certainly worth trying it. I will be using this many times in the future.
