About Edit image

Edit image is a photo editor for one picture or a whole batch at once: cut the subject out, adjust it with nineteen sliders across color, light, detail and scene, and apply one of twelve named looks — then push the same treatment onto every other picture in a single press.

Three panels over one picture, or over a hundred of them. Cutout takes the subject out of its background, by brush or by shape, keeping or removing what you paint. Adjust is nineteen sliders in four groups — color, light, detail and the effects that sit on top — with Auto, B&W and Pop for when you do not want to move any of them. Filters and Effects is a dozen named looks, each drawn as a thumbnail of your own photograph rather than of somebody else’s, with a strength slider so a look can be half applied.

Bulk is the reason this exists as one tool rather than as five. Pictures land in a filmstrip, you work on whichever one is selected, and Apply to all pushes what you have set onto every other picture in the strip. A set of product shots or a folder of holiday photographs can be given one treatment in a single pass, and any picture you want to differ can still be selected and changed on its own.

Nothing is committed while you work. The preview is a downscaled working copy so the sliders move without waiting, and the full-size render happens once, at the end, from the same code that drew the preview — so what you approved is what is written, only bigger. Auto is the one setting that differs picture to picture on purpose: it is measured from whichever photograph it is looking at.

Everything runs on your own device, including the subject detection that does the cutting out. A hundred large photographs is a real amount of work for a browser to do, and the progress readout says which picture it is on.
