Your first edit

  1. Choose a Live Photo with flowing water, then tap Add flow.
  2. Move the Flow slider and use Before to compare.
  3. Use Refine to include missed water or keep an area sharp.
  4. Open Adjust for water and colour controls, or Crop to frame the result.
  5. Tap Save to create a new still in Photos. Your original is preserved.

Common questions

Which photos work?

SloMoFlo needs an iPhone Live Photo with its original short recording. A screenshot, ordinary still or exported JPEG on its own does not contain that recording. It works best when the camera is held steady and the water is clearly visible.

My photo won’t open or finish

Open the original in Apple Photos and let it download from iCloud, then try again. Check your internet connection for that download and make sure your phone has free storage. SloMoFlo’s editing itself happens on the phone.

Some water was missed, or something else became soft

Open Refine and show the water area. Paint over missed water, or choose Keep sharp for detail you want to protect. Automatic detection can need a correction, particularly around spray, foliage and small rocks.

What does “Smooth photo edges” do?

A Live Photo’s recording can cover less than its still image. This optional setting softens water beyond the recorded area. It is an approximation and can look less natural, so leave it off if you prefer to keep the original edges.

Is the result a video?

No. SloMoFlo saves a new still photograph with a long-exposure look. It does not animate your photo.

I can’t save to Photos

Check SloMoFlo’s Photos permission in iPhone Settings and make sure there is enough storage. Saved copies appear as newly added photos. You can also use Share to choose another destination.
