Retouch, compose and create with precision
Focale is a photo and vector editor for people who care about detail. Retouch a photograph, assemble a composition, paint on a blank canvas or draw an illustration: photo and vector documents stay open side by side, with tools that adapt to your work.
Start from a photograph. Develop your camera RAW files, correct lens distortion, then retouch: remove a distracting element, refine the edge of a selection, or merge several shots into a panorama or an HDR image.
Or start from an idea. Stack layers, mask them and blend them, and keep your adjustments editable instead of baking them into the pixels. Paint with brushes that follow your hand and set text exactly where you want it.
Create editable vector artwork. Draw Bézier curves, adjust anchor points, combine shapes and vary stroke widths. Arrange illustrations across artboards, flow text along a path or through linked frames, and reuse your colors, styles and symbols.
Your work stays with you. Processing runs on your device, and .focale and .fvector projects preserve your layers, objects and resources so that you can pick up where you left off. Focale also opens and exports common image formats, layered PSD and PSB documents, and supported SVG and PDF artwork.
