Mark the work area

Drag a box over the part of the yard this job will change — the lawn, patio or beds. Lining up then ignores it and locks onto what stays the same around it: house, fence, trees, curb, driveway. People walking through are ignored automatically.

How to line up a shot

  1. Stand where you think the before photo was taken and hold the phone the same way (upright or sideways).
  2. Follow the big instruction at the top. The arrow points where to aim; the dashed box shows where the before photo sits — make it fill the screen edges.
  3. Tilt and rotate use the phone’s motion sensors (only for befores taken in this app). Step closer/back and aim come from matching what the camera sees — fence lines, house corners, trees and curbs work best; new turf or pavers are ignored automatically.
  4. When the ring turns green it’s lined up — tap the shutter (or turn on Auto).
  5. Green dots are the stable points it's locking onto. For lawn jobs, open the angle's ⋯ menu → Mark work area and box the lawn: lining up then uses only what stays the same (house, fence, trees). Crew walking through is ignored.
  6. The ghost fades as you get close, so you see the real scene when you shoot (Settings → Fade the ghost).
  7. Ghost styles: Photo (see-through), Edges (outline only — great in bright sun), Wipe (drag the line), Blink. Hold the thumbnail to peek at the full before.
