## Phocus Mobile 2 v4.0 Brings Local Adjustment Masks to iPhone and iPad

Hasselblad released Phocus Mobile 2 v4.0.0 today, and unlike recent desktop releases, this one actually got a proper announcement on social media.

## New Mask Tool for Local Adjustments

The headline feature is a new Mask Tool supporting brush, linear, and radial masks. This brings local adjustments to the mobile app for the first time, letting you make precise lighting and detail corrections on specific areas of your image rather than global adjustments only.

For photographers who've been doing initial culling and light edits on iPad before moving to the desktop, this is a meaningful upgrade.

Hasselblad has since extended that masking system. [The v4.3.0 update](https://blog.tonalphoto.com/phocus-mobile-2-v4-3-portrait-mask/) adds a Portrait Smart Mask that detects the subject from a single tap, plus a brush eraser, on iPhone and iPad.

Researching and writing the blog and page posts I produce takes up a lot of my time and costs me money for software subscriptions, tooling, and other incidentals related to running a business.

Please consider a paid membership to help me keep the lights on and pay the bills - it is only a fraction of the cost of an X2D II and a lens. Click on the button to go to the membership page to see the options available.
