Frequently Asked Questions

What does increasing contrast actually do to a photo?

Contrast controls the difference between the lightest and darkest areas. Increasing it makes bright areas brighter and dark areas darker, which makes the image feel sharper and more vivid. Too much contrast crushes shadows and blows out highlights.

My photo looks washed out — which sliders should I use?

Try increasing contrast and saturation first, then slightly raise brightness if the image still looks dark. A small boost in sharpness can also help make soft images look crisper.

Can I use this to make a photo look vintage?

Yes. Reduce saturation slightly, lower contrast a bit, and add a warm hue shift. For a classic film look, also try the Sepia Filter tool which automates this effect.

Will applying filters degrade my image?

Every save of a JPG re-encodes it and can add minor compression artifacts. For best results, work from the original file and download at high quality. Using PNG avoids this issue entirely since it is lossless.

Is there a way to reset all adjustments if I go too far?

Yes — a 'Reset' button restores all sliders to their default values so you can start over without re-uploading.
