When a portrait has a blemish, red-eye, or uneven color, PhotoInstrument offers focused tools for making those edits directly on the image. The editor also handles practical tasks such as adding text, combining images, and resizing a group of photos.
Portrait retouching tools
PhotoInstrument groups common portrait corrections into dedicated instruments. Skin Cleaner and Glamour Skin address skin appearance, while the Healing Brush and Clone tool target local flaws. Liquify adjusts facial or other image contours; Red Eye Removal corrects the familiar flash effect.
For tonal and detail work, Dodge / Burn, Brightness-Contrast, Color Levels, Colorize, Glow, Blur, Sharpen, and Denoise provide separate adjustments. Crop and Object Removal cover framing and unwanted elements. These tools are aimed at direct photo edits, including small corrections to portraits and older pictures.
Opening and editing images
Drag a photo into the editor to open it, or copy an image to the clipboard and paste it into PhotoInstrument. Choose an instrument for the change, then work on the image with its brush or adjustment controls. Brush sizes go up to 1000 pixels, giving the tools a range for small marks and broader areas.
The editor includes layers and text, and it can overlay two or more images. PSD files are supported for editing, and Photoshop-compatible plugins extend the available tools.
Resizing and saving
Batch Resizing applies a size change to multiple images, which suits preparing a set of photos together. For individual edits, the program can save to JPG, PNG, BMP, and other formats; animated GIF is also supported.
