Straighten leaning buildings in one tap, and keep your HDR. Shoot a building from street level and a wide-angle lens makes the walls lean inward. AutoAlign solves for the exact angle the shot was taken at and reverses it, so verticals stand straight without the stretched look other tools leave behind. No tripod, no tilt-shift lens. NEW IN 3.1 • An advanced perspective engine built on true camera geometry, the mathematics professional desktop tools are built on. Straight lines come back straight, proportions stay true, and nothing is stretched to fake it. • Horizontal keystone too. A skewed facade is squared, not just converging verticals. • Not just buildings. Billboards, posters, documents, whiteboards and artwork straighten automatically as well. • Manual Fix for anything the automatic pass cannot read. It works on any four corners, so drag them onto the subject and the perspective flattens square. • Cropping, built in, at full resolution. • A new look, built around the photo. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a photo, or edit straight from the Photos app. 2. AutoAlign corrects it automatically. Pick Full, or Vertical only. 3. Decide what happens to the empty corners straightening leaves behind: Keep them, Fill them, or Cut them off. Trim sky and foreground too, if you want. 4. Crop, compare before and after, save. WHAT IT KEEPS • HDR. The gain map is corrected alongside the photo, so brightness and colour survive intact. • EXIF, GPS, timestamps and camera settings. • Your original. Every edit is revertible from the Photos app. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: the full correction, Manual Fix, and cropping. Exports at reduced resolution with a watermark. Premium: full-resolution and HDR export, no watermark. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time purchase. MADE FOR Architecture, real estate, interiors, cityscapes and travel, plus billboards, posters, documents or artwork photographed at an angle. NOTE Automatic correction works best where the scene has clear straight edges. Where it does not, Manual Fix always does.

PREVIEW BEFORE CAPTURING See the detected corners and a live corrected preview before you save the image. Turn correction on or off directly from the camera screen. CHOOSE WHERE EACH VERSION GOES Set a separate destination for the original and corrected image: • In the app • Photo Library • Both • Don’t save By default, the original stays in the app and the corrected image is saved to Photos. BROWSE BY DATE Review, share, export or delete in-app images from a simple date-based gallery. Deleting an in-app copy does not delete the copy in Photos.
