Color Only

• Enabled: Displays only color adjustments and hides all other effects.
• Disabled: Displays all applied effects in the image.
  

This feature also supports full-size previews. When activated, the image in the color adjustment panel will appear at full resolution.

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.

Filters

Evoto offers a wide range of filters that can be directly applied to your photos to create stylized effects or color themes.

• Each filter’s intensity can be adjusted using a slider
  
• Click More to explore the full range of available filters
  
• Filters can be used in combination with other color adjustments for enhanced creative control

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.

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.

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.

Detail 

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

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.
