By integrating advanced machine learning directly into the workflow, it simplifies complex tasks like masking, noise reduction, and resizing into single-click actions.
Key Features
- Generative Erase: Eliminates unwanted objects, pedestrians, or power lines by analyzing the surrounding pixels and reconstructing the background for a clean final image.
- Cinematic Depth Lighting: Uses 3D depth maps to adjust lighting in specific areas of a scene, allowing you to add realistic fog or directional light behind subjects.
- Resize AI Integration: Enlarges photos for high-quality printing by using deep learning to maintain sharp details and textures, eliminating the need for external upscaling tools.
- Super Select AI: Identifies distinct elements like skies, people, or trees automatically, letting you apply adjustments to specific regions just by pointing and clicking.
- NoNoise AI: Removes luminance and color noise from high-ISO shots while preserving fine details, ensuring crisp results even in low-light photography.
- Edit Color Filter: Provides precise control over hue, saturation, and brightness for individual color ranges, making it easier to correct skin tones or enhance foliage.
Use Cases
Landscape photographers can utilize the depth-aware tools to enhance flat lighting conditions, while portrait editors benefit from automated face recovery and skin smoothing features.
