LikeThis facts
LikeThis is an iPhone camera app that helps you recreate a photo. You pick a reference photo, and LikeThis shows it as a see-through ghost over the live camera. Whoever holds the phone lines up the scene with the ghost, so the new photo matches the framing, angle, height and distance of the original.
