Bloom vs Aeblyz

Bloom brings focus stacking to your iPhone. Shoot close-ups of flowers, insects, jewelry or small products, and get one photo where the whole subject is sharp. WHY STACKING? At macro distance, only a thin slice of your subject is in focus. Bloom solves that the way scientific and fine-art macro photographers do: it captures several frames at different focus distances and merges the sharp parts of each into a single image. HOW IT WORKS 1. Point your iPhone at a subject at macro distance. 2. Check the focus with Focus Peaking. 3. Choose how many frames to stack. 4. Press the shutter. Bloom sweeps the focus from near to far and captures every frame, with a live CAPTURE counter. 5. Bloom merges them. BLOOMING… turns into BLOOMED: your finished photo, with the depth and number of frames used shown next to it. CHOOSE YOUR STACK: 3, 5, 7, 9 OR 11 FRAMES More frames means more depth of field. Each option comes with a short explanation, and 5 frames is marked as Recommended: a good balance of speed and depth for most subjects. Use 3 frames when you need to be quick, and 7, 9 or 11 for taller subjects or when the subject holds completely still. FOCUS PEAKING A live edge overlay shows exactly which parts of your subject are sharp before you shoot. Switch it on or off with one tap on the Focus Peaking button, and choose red, green or white highlights to suit your subject. An intensity slider lets you tune how strong the overlay appears. NEW IN THIS VERSION Compare a single frame with your stacked result using the SINGLE | STACKED slider. Choose JPEG or HEIC for the finished photo and optionally save the individual frames to a “Bloom frames” album. Macro assist on the camera screen tells you to hold steady, that the subject is moving, or that you are ready to stack; switch it on or off in Settings. BLOOM PRO 3 and 5 frames are free. 7, 9 and 11 frames unlock with Bloom Pro: a single, one-time purchase of €2.99. No subscription, yours to keep. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. Everything is processed on your iPhone, offline. Your photos are saved to your photo library and to a dedicated Bloom album. Bloom works best with a steady hand or a tripod, and with subjects that stay still while the frames are captured.

Aeblyz Studio brings uncompromising, desktop-class focus stacking, HDR, advanced organic Denoising, Long Exposure, Transient object erasure, and advanced macro metrics straight to iPhone, iPad, and Mac under a single Universal Purchase. Built exclusively on native Apple frameworks, Aeblyz directly unleashes the GPU power of modern Apple Silicon to merge focus brackets into single, high-fidelity master images with infinite depth of field and pristine edge-to-edge sharpness. ZERO-COPY WORKFLOW & NATIVE RAW FORMATS Aeblyz reads your asset files directly from their source paths (Files app or Photos library) without copying or duplicating data. It natively ingests high-megapixel formats supported by the underlying Apple platform: HEIF, CR2, NEF, FFF, and more. Computations are dynamically throttled to regulate thermal profiles safely, protecting your hardware and battery health. CORE COMPUTATION ENGINES: Zero-Allocation Tiling: Splits heavy images (up to 100MP+) into chunks, processing them in isolated sub-batch windows to keep memory usage flat. Precision Focus Heatmap: Fuses pixel-level sharp edge winners into a high-contrast spectrum overlay. Heatmap colors match your filmstrip thumbnail borders to identify exact frame source pixels. Decoupled Analytics Telemetry: An independent, orthogonal background pipeline. Toggle it off for rapid silent blending, or on to populate a real-time data ledger tracking Focus Coverage (%), Depth Expansion multiplier (x), and frame-by-frame contributions. All settings, presets, and adjustments are baked straight into exported file metadata. To restore your entire darkroom setup, simply pick that single focus-stacked image to reload parameters automatically. ADVANCED ADJUSTMENTS & TIMELINE SEQUENCING Standard presets work brilliantly out of the box, while comprehensive manual tools allow total macro control: Target Scene Profiles: Toggle between Standard, Low Light, Outdoor, and High Contrast.Exposure Tuning: Refine the stacked image exposure by precise 1/2 or 1/3 EV steps .Pre-Stacking Alignment: Hardware-accelerated Translation, Affine, and Homography registration models with built-in Deghosting to eliminate artifact shifts. Stacking Domain Priorities: Favor Blended Media, Text, Bokeh, or Sharp Graphics. Tactile Sequencing Carousel: Drag-and-drop unique color-coded, #numbered frames to rearrange your stacking order instantly, or untick individual checkboxes to exclude problematic images from the calculation. iPhone & iPad Touch Canvas: Gesture-isolated touch target zones override tablet multi-window cross-talk, ensuring silky-smooth multi-touch pinch magnification, panning, and long-press original reveals. Export masterworks in uncompressed 16-Bit Adobe RGB TIFF or 10-Bit Display P3 HEIF with Adaptive Alpha Conditioning—selectively stripping alpha bytes from opaque photos to slash file decoding sizes by 50% on disk.Transform your focus brackets into macro masterpieces with the raw performance and thermal protection of Aeblyz Studio.
