Effects

For photo functions, you can add within filters, background removal, and AI filters with Photo AI.

  • Choose and mix the different effects to create a great-looking image.

  • Remove the background and choose between the different preset backgrounds, or add up to 10 custom backgrounds.

  • Use the additional Photo AI effects, basic or pro, to easily reimagine a picture into a photo that would be impossible to create without AI.

  • Enable the toggle to use the same photo effects in GIF (photo) outputs

Background

The background removal effect has some features that allow you to customize the background selection:

  • Random Background (each photo): When enabling this option, a random background between the available will apply to each different photo.

  • Random Background (same for all): When enabling this option, a random background between the available will apply to every photo session, being the same for all.

  • Transparent Background: The background is replaced with a transparency, no image.

  • Select Background in Session: By enabling this option, the users will be able to select a background between the chosen ones. After a session is taken, there will be a selection screen, where users will choose the background they want.

  • Select One Background Session for All Photos: This setting chooses the same background for all photos, but instead of a random one, the background selected.

  • Define Strip Background: Define what backgrounds show on all the pictures from the strip.

  • Only Show Custom Backgrounds: This option shows in the app only the custom backgrounds added, no default backgrounds.

  • Remove Background in the server: This uses the server for background removal, improving the quality. This is only for Android, and requires internet.

Photo AI

AI image composition is a creative technology that uses artificial intelligence to combine different visual elements — such as people, backgrounds, lighting, and effects — into a single, seamless image.

In simple terms, it means that the AI can automatically edit and enhance photos in ways that used to take a professional designer hours to do.

Keynotes

  • Some effects, such as AI filters, require a well-lit environment.

  • Framing and placing is key to achieve a good result.

  • Certain combinations may override one over the other. If there is something wrong in your result, try checking each effect individually and how they may apply over other effects
