Importing an image

The welcome screen of the editor lets you browse for images in the beginning. You can drag and drop the picture in the editor to start working. Another way to import is by going to File>Open. From here, you can either choose a photo or a previously saved project. You also get a shortcut button to open a photo located at the top-left corner.

Click on the color picker tool and hover over your image to see what changes it can do in real-time in a small window. Once you are satisfied with the outcome, click on the particular spot to finalize the changes.

To adjust elements manually, drag the slider named with each function. You can also scroll up and down the slider to increase and decrease the quantity, respectively. Similarly, you can scroll over the value indicator box or enter the number manually in the box to obtain the same results.

Retouching

This feature provides you with portrait specific section related to skin, mouth, eyes, and others. Each section consists of multiple tools to change different variables. Although it is not mandatory to use these functions only on portraits. Once you get hold of the tool, you can use it wherever you want to. For example, the skin smoothening tool blurs the image with defined intensity. You can use it according to need by changing the intensity bar.

The advantage of this function is instead of removing an object, you can choose to replicate it manually.

Denoise
