AI Color Adjustments

AI Color Tools

Auto Color Corrections

This feature automatically calibrates the white balance and exposure of the currently selected image.

How to Use

Select an image. Click “Apply”. The AI Auto White Balance and AI Auto Exposure tools (magic wand icons) will be activated automatically.

Notes: Enabling this feature will overwrite any previous white balance and exposure adjustments made to the selected image.

Multi-Image Color Consistency

This feature uses the selected image as a reference and adjusts the color parameters of the other selected images to match it, ensuring consistent color tones across the group.

How to Use

Shortcut: Cmd + ⬆️ + G is available in both the Library and Edit workspace.
In the Edit interface, select multiple images and click “Match”. The system will adjust the color parameters of all selected images based on the reference image.

Notes

This feature is designed for achieving color consistency among photos taken in the same scene, so multiple images must be selected.
Using this feature will overwrite the existing color adjustments of the selected images (such as white balance, and HSL,). Some parameters, such as Grain, will be preserved.

Recommended Workflow

Apply AI Style adjustments (such as AI Color Looks) first, then use AI Color Tools (including Multi-Image Color Consistency and Auto Color Corrections).
Apply Auto Color Corrections before using Multi-Image Color Consistency.

AI Style

AI Color Looks

The AI Color Looks feature offers intelligently generated color grading styles that instantly elevate your photos with visually appealing color tones. These adjustments are tailored to your selected style, helping your work stand out with minimal effort.

This feature has been upgraded to better highlight the subject in the image, often eliminating the need for users to create local masks.

Basic

White Balance

White Balance ensures your images maintain natural-looking colors under different lighting conditions. It removes unwanted color casts by making white objects appear neutral and true to life.

AI White Balance Adjustment

When enabled, this tool analyzes the image and automatically adjusts the Temperature and Tint sliders to achieve a natural white balance. This ensures colors appear accurate and consistent without manual correction.

Auto White Balance

Evoto provides several white balance presets for RAW files:

Auto: Automatically analyzes and adjusts for natural color tones
Daylight: Optimized for bright, outdoor sunlight
Cloudy: Warms up images taken under overcast skies
Shade: Compensates for cooler tones in shaded areas
Tungsten: Adjusts for the yellow cast of incandescent light
Fluorescent: Balances the green or blue tint from fluorescent lights
Flash: Corrects color when using a flash

White Balance Selector

The White Balance Selector tool lets you manually correct the color temperature and tint of your image:

Click on an area that should appear neutral white or grey (e.g., white clothing or walls)
Evoto analyzes the selected area and adjusts the image accordingly to balance the tones and correct color shifts

You can click a single point or drag to select a region. This provides greater accuracy, especially in scenes with mixed lighting.

Tone

Tone plays a central role in photography, influencing the distribution of light and dark areas as well as the overall contrast and mood of an image. Proper tone adjustment can elevate the visual appeal, emphasize emotion, and add depth to your photos. Natural photographs typically feature a range of tones—shadows (darker areas), midtones, and highlights (brighter areas)—that create a layered and compelling composition.

AI Exposure Adjustment

This feature automatically adjusts the Exposure setting based on the brightness of your image. It provides a fast solution to correct underexposed or overexposed photos, giving you a proper starting point for further editing.

Tone Adjustment Controls

Exposure: Controls the overall lightness or darkness of the image. Adjusting this slider affects the entire image and can significantly improve clarity and quality.
Contrast: Increasing contrast enhances the difference between light and dark areas, adding vibrancy. Decreasing contrast softens the image and can reveal more subtle textures and details.
Brightness: Adjusts midtone brightness while maintaining contrast. This produces a more natural and uniform enhancement compared to exposure adjustments.
Highlight: Adjusts the intensity and tone of the brightest parts of the image, allowing control over light sources or reflective areas.
Shadow: Adjusts the intensity and tone of the darkest parts of the image, helping to recover detail in shadowed areas or deepen contrast.
White: Targets the very brightest pixels, affecting overall image luminance.
Black: Targets the darkest pixels, allowing control over how deep the darkest areas of the photo appear.

Presence

Presence settings enhance the clarity, depth, and color dynamics of your image, making it appear more vivid or stylized based on your creative goals.

Clarity: Increases midtone contrast, making the image appear sharper and more defined. Reducing clarity creates a softer, dreamier effect.
Dehaze: Reduces atmospheric haze for a clearer and more detailed image. Drag the slider to the right for clarity and depth, or to the left for a soft, foggy appearance.
- Note: The Dehaze effect is intentionally strong. It’s best to avoid high values to maintain a balanced look.
Vibrance: Enhances less-saturated colors while preserving already vivid ones, resulting in more natural and balanced color enhancement.
Saturation: Affects the overall color intensity. Lowering saturation mutes colors, while increasing it makes them more vivid and intense.

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance)

The HSL module allows precise control over how each color appears in your image.

Hue: adjusts where a color falls on the spectrum.
Saturation: changes the intensity or purity of a color.
Luminance: modifies the brightness of a color.

Evoto provides controls for eight color ranges: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Aqua, Blue, Purple, and Magenta.

HSL Selector Tool

An intuitive dropper tool lets you click on a specific color in your image to isolate and adjust its HSL values. Once selected, simply drag to fine-tune hue, saturation, and luminance directly from the image.

Blending and Balance

Blending: Controls the smoothness of color transitions. A higher value results in more natural blending across tonal zones.
Balance: Adjusts the weighting between highlights and shadows. A higher value increases the emphasis on highlights, while a lower value gives more weight to shadows.

Detail

The Detail feature group provides controls to sharpen images and reduce unwanted noise for a clearer, more professional result.

AI Denoise

When enabled, AI automatically identifies noise and preserves details in the image, maintaining skin texture and contour details.

Notes:

This feature is only effective on RAW images.
A new copy of the image will be generated in Evoto’s proprietary RAW format (.evr), with the specified suffix added to its filename.
The new copy is a standalone image and can be edited independently of the original.
The new copy follows the same billing logic as the original image

Note: Sub-controls become available only after the main Sharpen or Noise Reduction sliders are adjusted.

Sharpen

Sharpen: Enhances edge contrast for a crisper, more defined image.
Radius: Determines the width of sharpening around edges.
Detail: Controls how much fine detail is enhanced. Higher values emphasize small details; lower values reduce the sharpening effect.

Noise Reduction

Noise Reduction: Smooths out grain or digital noise in the image.
Detail: Higher values remove noise more aggressively. Lower values preserve finer details.
Contrast: Adjusts the balance between smoothed areas and preserved texture for more natural results.

Color Noise Reduction

Color Noise Reduction: Eliminates color specks or blotches in low-light or high-ISO images.
Detail: Sets the threshold for retaining edge color details versus removing color blotches. Higher values retain more detail but may cause color stains.
Smoothness: Improves the softness of transitions between color areas. Higher values remove noise more effectively but may reduce edge definition.

Grain

The Grain feature lets you apply film-like texture for artistic or vintage effects. You can control how grain appears across tonal ranges and adjust its size, roughness, and color variation.

Overall Grain Strength: Controls the intensity of the grain effect throughout the image.
Shadows, Midtones, Highlights: Adjust grain intensity separately for each tonal range.
Size: Changes the scale of the grain particles.
Roughness: Controls how fine or coarse the grain appears.
Color Variation: Introduces color noise variation into the grain, affecting visual texture.

Color Calibration

The Color Calibration group allows you to correct or enhance color tones by adjusting the Hue and Saturation of the three primary color channels — Red, Green, and Blue. This helps fix color shifts or stylize your image for greater visual impact and realism.
