Edit Like a Pro
Adjust Exposure First
Fix exposure with brightness and contrast before applying stylistic filters. A well-exposed base makes every filter look better.
Use Presets as Starting Points
Apply a preset, then fine-tune with individual sliders. Presets give you a base look; sliders let you perfect it.
Less Is More
Subtle adjustments often look more professional than extreme settings. Start with small changes and increase gradually.
Crop for Impact
Tight crops draw the viewer's eye. Use aspect ratio presets to match your target platform for perfect display.
Use Undo Freely
Don't be afraid to experiment. Every change is reversible with undo. Try bold edits and step back if they don't work.
Export as PNG for Quality
For maximum quality, export as PNG. Use WebP for web sharing — it maintains quality at smaller file sizes.
