Portraits can be retouched, skies brightened, and distracting objects removed to give everyday photos a more finished look. PhotoWorks combines automatic corrections with controls for adjusting color, perspective, and individual details.
Portrait retouching and face sculpting
Portrait tools target common details such as blemishes, freckles, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, red-eye, and teeth. Face Sculpt adjusts facial features, including the nose, lips, eyes, and overall face shape. Built-in filters provide another way to change the look of a portrait.
For small, localized edits, Magical Brushes let you work on a particular object or detail in the photo.
Landscape correction and object removal
A graduated filter can adjust a portion of a landscape, while sky replacement changes a dull sky to a different one. Perspective Correction straightens tilted lines, levels horizons, and addresses the appearance of buildings leaning in a photo.
The object-removal tool can erase unwanted elements such as power lines, signs, or passersby. Artistic effects include presets for looks such as morning mist, sun rays, and seasonal treatments.
Color controls and instant enhancement
Instant Enhancement automatically adjusts exposure and color balance, adds contrast, and improves the sky. For manual color work, PhotoWorks includes hue, saturation, and luminance controls, plus Curves, 3D LUT support, tone mapping and Lab color adjustments.
- Apply effects for HDR, vignettes, black-and-white, retro looks, and color toning.
- Correct perspective and lens distortion, or add captions and watermarks with adjustable text rotation and transparency.
Batch edits and collage layouts
Batch Processing applies changes to multiple photos, with options to enhance image quality, add text or watermarks, resize, and export. Collage Mode brings up to nine shots together in one image using a template that can be customized.
