## What is The Photo Window?

ABOUT THIS APP

The Photo Window was created by HullBreach Studios as a tool to apply a number of three-dimensional features to Portrait photos taken on a supported device through the Camera app or directly within The Photo Window itself.

HOW IT WORKS

For Portrait photos, iOS generates depth maps and embeds them within the photo files. Depending on the device, this could be from the disparity between the captured photos (relative depth) or data from the TruthDepth or LiDaR scanners (absolute depth).

The Photo Window processes that depth map and uses it as a slicer, which is similar to how 3D printers or medical imagery work. This slicer generates 200 layers from the image, each representing a specific depth. From there, it is possible to have all kinds of fun with the photo!

PHOTO SOURCES

* Dual back camera
* Triple back camera
* LIDAR back camera
* Front TrueDepth "selfie" camera

PHOTO EFFECTS

* Solid slicing
* Adjustable depth
* 3D rotation (Y axis)
* Scaling

If your device lacks a camera capable of generating depth maps, you can still rotate a flat image.

UNLOCK PRO MODE FOR:

* Tilting the image on multiple axes
* Depth-of-field and focal plan configuration
* Solid and hollow slicing mode toggle
* Importing photos from the device's Photo Gallery.
* Saving manipulated scenes to the Photo Gallery.

SPECIAL NOTE:

In v1.5.0, Photo Window Lite and Photo Window Pro have been merged into a single app. A few added features from Pro have been made available by default. The rest of the Pro features are now unlockable within the same unified app.

## Key features

### 3/5 — Potentially useful app with some serious caveats

*2024-03-06*

App should prove useful to document property, or even when traveling. Unfortunately, when you save an image, it is just saved as a flat two dimensional image without any depth. Also exposure controls would be a welcome addition. Clearer documentation would be helpful. Looking forward to seeing these improvements.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!

We do have saving of 3D images planned for a future release. That just had to be delayed in v1.5.0, since some aspects of preparing depth data didn’t seem ready enough to go live. Improving documentation is always something worth tackling. Exposure controls would be a great feature, too!

### 2/5 — Not clear

*2021-09-07*

This app kind of works if your subject is far enough away. I tried some selfies and just got a flat image with both cameras. I assume the front doesn’t have any depth data so it shouldn’t even be selectable.
Then the image just vanishes after a few seconds with no explanation about what happens if you buy the paid version. Can it export a still image? A video? Who knows.

## Frequently asked questions about The Photo Window

### What is The Photo Window?

The Photo Window is a photo editing tool that applies 3D effects to portrait photos by processing depth map data. It allows users to slice images into layers and manipulate them in various ways.

### How does The Photo Window work?

It utilizes depth maps generated by supported iOS devices (dual/triple back cameras, LiDAR, or TrueDepth front cameras) to create 200 layers from an image. These layers can then be manipulated for 3D visual effects.

### Can I use The Photo Window on any photo?

The app is optimized for portrait photos that have depth map data. However, if your device lacks a depth-capable camera, you can still rotate flat images.

### What are the Pro features in The Photo Window?

Pro features, now unlocked within the unified app, include tilting the image on multiple axes, depth-of-field and focal plane configuration, importing photos from the gallery, and saving manipulated scenes.

### Does The Photo Window have ads?

No, The Photo Window does not contain advertisements. It is a free app with optional in-app purchases for advanced features.

### What devices is The Photo Window compatible with?

The Photo Window is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.
