Filters

Filters work on the picture itself: texture, edges and smoothness. Split detail from tone with frequency separation, soften skin without losing edges, and sharpen at the end. Together they cover the core of a portrait retouch.

  • Frequency Separation

    Splits an image into a smooth colour layer and a fine-detail layer.

  • Frequency Recombine

    Puts the low and high layers back together, with a slider to boost or soften texture.

  • Skin Smoother

    Smooths skin with an edge-preserving blur, with optional mask and tiled processing.

  • Smart Sharpen

    Unsharp mask with a noise threshold, luminance-only mode and a mask.

  • Dust & Spot Removal

    Find and heal small dark or bright specks (sensor dust, tiny blemishes), leaving larger shapes alone.

  • Heal / Content-Aware Fill

    Paint what should go; it is rebuilt from the rest of the photo.

  • Motion / Zoom Blur

    Motion blur along an angle, or a zoom burst toward a point, with a mask.
