Adjust image filters

Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 4 min read

Choose a preset look and fine-tune light, color, and blur.

Preset filters and manual adjustments work together. Choosing Normal alone does not clear manual settings.

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Open Filters

    PropertiesFilters

    Choose a preset card. Use its preview as a starting point, then inspect the actual photo on the page.

  2. 2

    Adjust light and color

    PropertiesFilters

    Under Manual Adjustments, use Brightness for lightness, Contrast for tonal separation, and Saturation for color intensity. Sepia adds a warm brown tone; Hue shifts colors. Use sliders or their numeric fields.

    With a preset active, returning a manual value to zero uses that preset’s value for the adjustment again. Use the Filters reset for a fully neutral result.

  3. 3

    Adjust blur and edge shading

    PropertiesFilters

    Blur softens detail. Vignette darkens edges to draw attention toward the center. For product photography, check that materials, colors, and defining details remain clear.

  4. 4

    Reset filters

    PropertiesFiltersReset

    The reset control in the Filters heading returns the preset to Normal and clears manual filter settings. It does not undo cropping; use the crop tool to change framing.

  5. 5

    Review at publication size

    EditorCanvas

    Review the photo in the page layout and inspect its details. Filters do not increase source resolution. Use a more suitable source if important details are unclear.

Result

Preset and manual settings are controlled together, with a reset limited to filters.
