Click and drag if you want to move the ellipse to another area of your image. Use the handles to adjust the shape and size of the target area.
In the center of the target, the effect is zero and gradually increases to full strength outside the target, creating a depth of field type of effect. Click on Add Ellipse and a target image will be placed on your image, with four handles (top, bottom, left and right). The Ellipse tool works much the same way. NOTE : When you hover over the line, an “X” will appear in the center, which you can click to remove the line and return the full-strength effect to the entire image. You can drag the endpoints to change the placement and angle of the gradient line, for example a horizontal line that applies a gradient effect from right to left. Along the line, the watercolor effect fades from full strength to none. The black handle at the top represents the full watercolor effect, and the white handle at the bottom represents zero watercolor effect. Under the Gradient Line tool, click Add Line and a vertical line will be placed on your image. There are two other options in the Watercolor Tools toolbar that can be used to restrict the effect to just one area of your image: the Gradient Line tool and the Ellipse tool. You can use the Clear Strokes button in the brush tool options to remove all brush strokes. You can brush over the area again to reduce the effect further if you wish. The painted area has less of the watercolor effect, meaning that more of the original photo is showing through. Then use the brush to paint over a part of the photo where you want to lessen the effect. For example, click on the Brush tool and set it to OFF. But the Watercolor Tools toolbar along the top has options that enable you to control where the effect takes place. In the FX Palette, you can adjust the strength, darken or lighten, or adjust the intensity of the stroke or color.īy default, the effect is applied to the entire image. This adds a watercolor painting appearance to the photo. There are four effects categories: PHOTO, LIGHT, EDGE, and ART, each of which with its own subcategories.įor a simple example, click on the Art FX tab, select Watercolor and click Apply Effect. To add the first effect, click on Effects in the top menu and choose Add Effect or click on the Add FX button at the top of the FX Palette on the right.

It also had a Color Integrity feature that enabled preserving an image's color tone during image editing operations - for example changing an image's contrast would not change its chromatic (color tone) data. In addition to being a HDR-merge application, HDR PhotoStudio offered a set of image editing operations that worked in its dynamic range (the website showed an example of processing an image with 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio), human color range ( gamut), and in high precision (32-bit floating point).
HDR PhotoStudio is a discontinued high dynamic range (HDR) graphics application developed by Unified Color for the Windows and macOS operating systems.
