Evoto is committed to providing users with a more comprehensive and convenient selection of tools to help them better accomplish various image editing tasks.
In Tool Bar, we have added different functions including Move, Liquify, and Healing, to provide more selections for our users. With these functions, users can adjust the details of an image more flexibly, improve the retouching effect, and return a more natural and realistic picture.
Liquify
We recommend that you first apply the AI function under the Feature Module, before using the manual liquefaction to make detailed adjustments. After completing the liquefaction effect, click on the “OK“ in the lower right corner to save the effect.
Forward Warp Tool – Pushes, stretches, shrinks, or expands specific areas as you drag to change the shape and the size of that area.
Reconstruct Tool – Reverse the distortion you’ve already added.
Smooth Tool – Smooth the details and salient features of the picture, making it smoother and more even to improve the appearance.
Twirl Clockwise Tool – Rotate pixels clockwise as you hold down the mouse button or drag, achieving a rotating effect on objects in the picture.
Pucker Tool – Move pixels toward the center of the brush area as you hold on, building an effect that resembles fabric, paper, or skin folds.
Bloat Tool – Move pixels away from the center, making it appear fuller or more prominent.
Push Left – This will move the pixels to the center area to the left for a horizontal displacement effect.
Freeze Mask Tool – By freezing areas of the preview image, you protect those areas from changes. Frozen areas are covered by a mask that you paint using the Freeze Mask tool.
Thaw Mask Tool – Use to unfreeze the original freezing area.
For each different liquifying tool, there are sliders to adjust their effect.
Size – Adjust the size of the liquefaction brush to control the extent of the liquefaction tool.
Density – This allows you to adjust the density of the liquefaction tool. Higher density values will result in a denser liquefaction effect, causing a more pronounced distortion effect. A low-density value produces a sparser liquefaction with a smaller area of influence and a relatively slight distortion effect.
Pressure – This allows you to control the pressure intensity of the liquefaction tool. A high pressure will produce a strong liquefaction effect, while a low-pressure value will produce a weak liquefaction effect.
Rate – Adjust the responsiveness or degree of distortion of the liquefaction tool. It determines the speed of change when you move the mouse or brush.
Pin Edge Enable
It is used to lock the edge areas of a picture from being affected by the liquefaction tool. You can use the feature when you want to keep the shape, structure, or details of certain areas unchanged during the liquefaction process.
Show Mask Enable
Based on the Freeze Mask Tool, if you disable the freeze mask tool, then the mask created by the freeze mask tool will be hidden, and you won’t be able to see it.
Healing Tool
Users can use healing tools to repair the picture. You just need to click or drag the brush over the area that needs to be repaired, and it will automatically do the repair based on the surrounding image information. Healing tools can intelligently repair the selected area by blending the texture and color with its surroundings for a natural-looking repair.
Spot Healing Brush Tool
It will sample the size around it to heal the area that you have selected.
- Size – adjust the healing brush size.
- Hardness – adjust the hardness of the healing brush to make it recover more naturally
Patch Tool
The Patch tool makes you select an area as a source to repair another named destination area, and based on the source area’s pattern repair the destination area.
- Source – select the source area.
- Destination – apply the source area’s pattern to the destination area.
Clone Stamp Tool
This tool paints one part of the picture over another part of the same picture with different locations. It is duplicating the pixels to remove or cover the defect in the picture.
- Size – adjust the tool size.
- Hardness – adjust the tool’s hardness.
Evoto also provides 5 different modes for clone Stamp Tool. They are Normal, Multiply, Screen Mode, Lighten Mode, and Darken Mode.
Search Tool
Current Search Scope: Includes the names of feature groups, sliders in the feature module panel, and the manual tools in the Tool Bar section.
The Search Tool Panel displays search history and search recommendations.
Users can freely drag the Search Tool panel on the screen and use keyboard to control the focus.
Clicking outside the Search Tool panel will be deactivated and switch to the preview mode for editing.
Search results display the exact path and associated shortcut. Triggering a result highlights and locates the corresponding feature.
If the search result belongs to a collapsed feature group, the main slider expands automatically to reveal the specific result.
Notes: If the Search Tool is active, the module switching shortcuts cannot be used until the Search Tool panel is deactivated by clicking outside it.
