Overall Evaluation
One of the downside of Affinity Photo is that you can't edit the Depth information with Portrait photos. That's where Anamorphic Pro comes in. It allows you to change the front most image and really make a cool photo a cinematic masterpiece.
In order to get the most out of this application, it's best to invest in some time. There isn't much documentation to what each functionality does. I found that playing around with various feature was a good way to learn various ways to enhance a photo.
There is no "push button" magic - like you find in Photolemur. You do have to play around with various settings to find the one that works for your photo - and your style.
If you don't have a Portrait photo, you can use the brush tool to create a blur mask - define the area that should be blurred out.
Anamorphic Pro cost $29.99 from the BrainFever website or from the App Store. There is a iOS version which cost $2.99 - it might be a good solution if your focus on just iPhone photos.
This is good solution for Affinity Photo users as it currently doesn't offer any depth editing.
Free Trial Available
You can download and play around with Anamorphic Pro for seven days. It's a good way to see how the application can transform any image.
