Shoot Now, Focus Later with FocusTwist

A while back, there was a fair amount of hoopla about the Lytro, the oddly-shaped camera that allowed users to adjust the focus of their images after taking them. We even posted a hands-on review of the Lytro here at CreativePro.

Now the idea of capturing refocusable images has moved into the realm of mobile devices, with an app for the iPhone called FocusTwist.

The app allows you to make and share refocusable “twists” and see those made by others to inspire and entertain you. After taking images with the app, you simply tap them to change the focal point.
