No cropping, and no upscaling to cover it up. Try it free and experience the convenience of Light Stack. --- Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

長時間曝光以前要腳架、要減光鏡、還要算快門。BlurStack 讓你跳過這些——你相簿裡的原況照片,本身就是一段幾秒鐘的連續影像,把它們疊起來,就是一張長曝光。 【怎麼用】 1. 從相簿選一張原況照片 2. 拖曳時間軸掐頭去尾,決定要用哪一段 3. 逐幀檢視,把手震、有路人亂入的畫面排除掉 4. 選擇合成模式,即時預覽 5. 儲存回相簿 【兩種合成模式】 - 平均 — 把所有影格取平均。適合流水、瀑布、雲、人潮:移動的東西化成柔順的絲狀,靜止的部分同時變得更乾淨、雜訊更少。 - 取亮 — 每個像素只保留最亮的一次。適合車燈軌跡、光繪、煙火、夜間光點:亮的軌跡會完整疊加保留,不會被暗部稀釋。 【接續內建長曝光,補上缺的那一段】 相簿內建的長曝光效果按一下就有,很方便,但它是全自動的:整段影片一律拿去平均,你不能挑範圍、不能剔除某一幀,也只有那一種疊法。於是常遇到—— - 想留車燈軌跡,光軌卻被大量沒有車經過的暗幀稀釋,成品又淡又灰 - 前半段還沒站穩、或最後手一抖,整張跟著糊,卻沒辦法只保留中間穩定的那一段 - 有路人剛好走過鏡頭,整張就報銷 - 只想要浪打上礁石的那 1.5 秒,它卻硬是把全部秒數都用上 BlurStack 把這些決定權交還給你: - 取亮模式 — 每個像素只保留最亮的一次,光軌、煙火、光繪完整疊加,不會被暗部拉灰 - 範圍選取 — 時間軸兩端自由裁切,只用你要的那一段 - 逐幀排除 — 手震、亂入、失焦的影格,點一下就踢掉 同一張原況照片,內建效果給你一個結果,BlurStack 給你一整組可能。 【為什麼用原況照片】 你不需要為了長曝光重新出門一趟。過去幾年拍下的原況照片全都是現成素材,翻一翻相簿,隨手一張夜景或溪流可能就藏著一張作品。 【逐幀控制,不是一鍵套用】 時間軸上每一幀都有縮圖。手震的、有人走過的、對焦跑掉的,點一下就排除,剩下的才會進入合成。你決定這張長曝光由哪些瞬間組成。 【隱私】 所有處理都在你的裝置上完成。BlurStack 不會上傳你的照片,不需要網路連線,也不收集任何個人資料。選取照片走系統選取器,不需要完整相簿讀取權限;App 只要求「加入照片」權限,用來把成品存回相簿。 【免費版與 BlurStack Pro】 免費版即可使用完整的時間軸編輯與兩種合成模式,限制為: - 每日 3 次合成 - 輸出長邊上限 2048 像素 - 輸出檔案不含原始拍攝資訊(EXIF) 升級 BlurStack Pro 解除限制: - 無限次合成 - 以原況照片的原生解析度輸出 - 保留原始拍攝資訊(EXIF) BlurStack Pro 為一次性買斷,非訂閱制,不會自動續訂,也不會定期扣款。購買後可在使用同一 Apple 帳號的裝置上以「恢復購買」取回。 【使用建議】 合成時不會自動對位影格,因此拍攝當下請盡量拿穩相機或靠著固定物,素材愈穩定,合成結果愈銳利。輸出畫布會放大到原況照片靜態幀的尺寸,實際清晰度仍取決於配對影片本身的解析度。 隱私權政策:https://gridfixapp.com/blurstack/policy/ 使用條款(Apple 標準 EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
