Leave the routine to AI

Get dozens of selective adjustments
with just one slide, thanks to the AI Accent tool.

This tool automatically analyzes your image and instantly corrects it using over a dozen controls at once, yielding naturally beautiful results with one simple slider. AI Accent can substitute for many traditional controls like Shadows, Highlights, Contrast, Tone, Saturation, Exposure, Details and others.

Apply AI Accent

AI Sky Enhancer finds the sky in your photo and gives it a more dramatic look in one simple move.

This handy tool allows you to get beautiful skies almost instantly, with only a swipe of a slider. It automatically brings out the detail and color in a photo’s clouds and sky, when needed. It also reduces blown out highlights.

The AI detects objects in the foreground, defines edges, and analyzes the textures and tones of the sky itself. This means that a blue sky will get a treatment far different from a grey sky, and a sunset sky will be enhanced differently from a mid-morning one.

Apply AI Sky Enhancer

Add contrast,
smarter

Compared to regular contrast, the Smart Contrast tool preserves both colors and details for a more realistic textured image.
