The Swiss Army Knife of Photo Editing

Powerful Editing Tools

Adjustments

A Swiss Army Knife for image optimization and post-processing, PhotoEditor SDK offers adjustment tools for fine-tuning images and producing striking creatives.

To streamline the UI, adjustment options can be enabled or disabled. Out-of-the-box options include Brightness, Saturation, Contrast, Gamma, Clarity, Exposure, Shadows, Highlights, Whites, Blacks, and Temperature.

Brush

The brush engine is optimized for touch screen interaction and supports different brush strokes that can be edited in terms of width, hardness and color.

Customization Options

Brush size presets can be customized, along with the default color and hardness.

Filter

The filter library contains over 60 categorized filters covering all state-of-the-art style and mood settings. Let users achieve the look and feel they desire with just a click.

Customization Options

By default, all filters are available to the user and can be disabled individually. The filter library can be expanded by importing & configuring custom LUT filters from Photoshop, GIMP, or Lightroom.

Focus

The focus tool adds a radial, mirrored, linear or gaussian blur to images creating depth and adding focus. The tool can also be used to mimic tilt-shift and bokeh effects.

Customization Options

Any focus mode can be enabled or disabled.

Frames

The frame tool works with any given photo size and ratio. It provides two distinct options to apply frames: The static option is optimized for complex and irregular frame assets, while the dynamic option works perfectly for assets with repeatable or stretchable areas.

Customization Options

Customize the library by either restricting available frames, or expanding the collection by uploading custom assets.

Overlays

Overlays are a powerful way to add a unique mood to the final composition. Users can create textured paper looks or lens flare lighting effects by using one of the available blend modes: Normal, Overlay, Hard Light, Soft Light, Multiply, Darken, Lighten, Screen, and Color Burn.

Customization Options

Expand the library by importing and configuring custom JPEG or PNG assets.
