Add Depth of Field in Photo with this Free Android App
DPTH is a free Android app that adds an adjustable depth of field to any image. As per the description of this app, it uses AI to predict the depth of a photo even if it is taken by a single camera.
When you launch this app, it opens the camera viewfinder ready to capture. You can capture an image there or tap the gallery icon left to camera shutter and load an existing photo to this app. As you load a photo, this app takes a few seconds to analyze the photo and creates a depth map. At the bottom right corner of the depth map screen, it gives you a toggle to switch between regular view and depth view. Opposite to this icon, there is a second icon that brings the adjustment settings.
This app lets you adjust the following aspect of the photo:
- Depth: To adjust the intensity of depth of field.
- Range: To adjust the area of depth aka focus distance.
- Blur: To adjust the amount of blur you want to add to the regular area

Closing Words:
DPTH is a nice app to add depth of field to photos upon capture. The results as not as promising as you get with a multi-camera setup with a dedicated depth sensor. But being completely software dependent, its quite good.
