When to use this
Use this when a portrait, a product shot, or a phone photo feels flat and you want the eye to stay on the subject. The pixels stay the same size. Only the edges get darker.
The slider darkens toward the corners. Zero leaves the picture as it is, apart from the format you save. A high setting can turn the corners nearly black. Stop when the middle still looks like the photo you took.
This changes the whole photo. It does not blur the background, and it does not cut the frame. If you want the background soft, use blur. If you want a smaller frame, use crop.
JPG cannot store a clear background. If the source has empty pixels, a JPG fills them with white when you save. Keep PNG when you still need those pixels clear. WebP can keep them too.
After the change, compress if the file is still heavy, or warmth if the edges are right and the colour is still off.
How to do it
- Drop one image or a batch. Files stay on this device.
- Move the slider right to darken the edges. Zero leaves the picture as it is.
- When you download, pick JPG, PNG, or WebP, and set the quality if you are not saving PNG.
- Apply, then download each file or a zip of the batch.
Tips
- A setting around 40 is a light finish. Go higher when the subject should hold the frame.
- Zero keeps the picture and only changes the file format.
- JPG fills clear pixels with white. Use PNG if you still need transparency.
- Quality around 0.92 is a good balance for JPG and WebP.
