- Black magic: Take the photo first, then focus. Background blurring and various professional and fun bokeh effects. It can handle the depth of field in Apple's portrait mode photos, and can also generate depth of field using AI models. - You can transfer the colors of one template photo to another photo, and AI will do the job. Carefully choosing the color template photo can achieve amazing and interesting effects. - Remove unwanted objects by brushing over them. - Intelligently enhance the image quality of blurred photos. - A photography tip: Many people always take dark photos with their mobile phones. This is because they always use the default automatic exposure of the mobile phone, which will dim the brighter environment. With our AI HDR, there is no such trouble. You can use this function on existing photos, so that the photos have a wide range of vivid light and dark details. Create HDR effects for a single photo, and adjust the exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows, saturation, brightness, sharpness and other parameters later to make the effect perfect. There are multiple sets of different HDR effects to choose from. You can also adjust the edge darkening effect. The default is 0x edge darkening, and you can also adjust the edge darkening multiple before using HDR. Edge darkening can control the shadow effect. You can choose 2x, 1x, 0x. - Process photos taken at night to make the night scene details clear. You can also adjust multiple parameters later.
