Afterlux

Remove distractions from your photos

Tap what doesn’t belong, a passer-by, a sign or a stray branch, and Afterlux fills in what was behind it. On RAW files too, as a step you can undo.

Remove the birds from the sky

  • Selected the birds
  • Filled in with the sky around them

Removed the birds; the sky behind them is drawn in to follow the clouds.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open a photo

    RAW or JPEG, from any camera or phone.

  2. 2

    Tap what should go

    Afterlux outlines the whole object; tap more to add them, or ask the assistant to find them for you.

  3. 3

    Keep editing

    The fill blends into the photo; carry on with color and light as usual.

Precise outlines

Afterlux selects the whole object along its edges, not a rough brush stroke.

A real edit

The removal is a step in your history: undo it at any time; your original stays as it was.

In your own words

“Remove the people in the background” works too: the assistant finds them and removes them.

Questions

Is it free?
Yes, while in beta, up to a number of removals a day.
Does it work on RAW files?
Yes. The fill is kept as its own layer of the edit, so the RAW file itself is untouched.
What does it work best on?
Objects that stand apart from the background: people, signs, cars, bins. Very large areas are harder to fill convincingly.
