Apple\u2019s Live Photos feature is becoming more powerful in iOS 11 with the introduction of a series of new editing tools and effects. In the new software, users will be able to trim their Live Photos and select their thumbnails, as well as apply a variety of effects like loops and long exposures to make their Live Photos more fun and engaging.<\/p>\n

As is often the case, Apple appears to have taken inspiration from third-party applications in deciding which features were in demand and should be part of the core experience.<\/p>\n

Apple introduced<\/a> the Live Photos format back in 2015, allowing users to snap still images that animate with a press \u2014 sort of like a real-world version of the photographers you\u2019d find in the Harry Potter universe. But sometimes Live Photos needed a little tweaking. For example, sometimes the video recorded needed to be trimmed, or the thumbnail selected wasn\u2019t really the best shot.<\/p>\n

Soon, third-party developers heeded the call, and rolled out apps for trimming and transforming Apple\u2019s Live Photos.<\/p>\n

But with iOS 11, these sorts of editing tools are now built-in, along with a number of new effects.<\/p>\n

Apple has taken obvious inspiration from apps like Instagram\u2019s Boomerang with effects that let you loop a live photo, or \u201cbounce\u201d the image back and forth. In one demo, Apple showed how you could turn a live photo of kids jumping into\u00a0a pool into a loop where the kids fell into the water, then returned to the pool\u2019s edge over and over.<\/p>\n

Apple says it used computer vision techniques for its seamless looping effect.<\/p>\n

Another Live Photo effect is called long exposure, and lets you animate a part of an image to give the sense of something that\u2019s been recorded over time. For instance, a photo of a running stream could just feature the water\u2019s movement.<\/p>\n

The Live Photos upgrade will roll out in iOS 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
