Keep your people real. Change the world around them. Zeus Enhance is a photo editor for iPhone that transforms the scene around your subject, with cinematic moods and natural detail. Start with a portrait, a trip or a moment you want to share. Every effect is previewed on your own photo: adjust it to your taste and compare the result with your original. NEW: WORLDS Your subject stays a real photo, while the world behind them changes, more and more with distance. • Sunlight: light through a window, blinds or leaves, with your subject's shadow behind them. • Flare: anamorphic streaks and film glow, only from the lights already in your photo. • Ink: the background becomes a pen, watercolor or chalk drawing. • Paper: cut paper or layered paper scenery. • Print: halftone dots in riso, newspaper or cyan ink. • Stitch: cross-stitch on linen, or pixel art. • Doodle: a hand-drawn outline, stars and an arrow around your subject. Move the sun, choose where the world starts to change, and tap the dice for a new take. Worlds work with every mood, and saved looks remember both. FIND YOUR LOOK Explore more than 20 moods across seven themes: Cinematic, Portrait, Film, B&W, Seasons, Focus and Essential. Try film grain, retro colors, black and white or a seasonal palette. Every preview uses your photo. MAKE IT YOURS • Adjust the strength of a mood and fine-tune color and detail. • Bring out texture and clarity in your photos. • Blur, darken or soften the background with depth controls. • Save your own looks in Favorites. • Slide between before and after, and zoom in to check the details. SHOOT OR PICK A PHOTO Zeus Enhance opens in the camera, with your library one tap away. For selfies in dim light, turn on the screen light. SAVE A PHOTO YOU WANT TO SHARE Crop, save to Photos or open the iOS share sheet straight from your result. Export at full resolution without a watermark. Enlarge up to 4× on smaller photos or 2× on larger ones, within your device's limits. OLD PHOTOS TOO Open a scan or photograph a print to improve detail and faded color. Preview the result before saving. YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE Photo processing happens on your device. No photo upload and no account required.
