Edit photo with Elfin Photo Editor ( step by step ):

 

1. Open your photo

3. Adjust photo

Use auto adjust tool. Auto adjust tool is one of the most important tools in Elfin Photo Editor. It automatically optimizes photos with better definition, contrast and saturation to get eye-catching photos. It is recommended for all kinds of photos.

Use darkness tool for photos with too much light

 

Use other adjust tools ( contrast, saturation, color balance tool etc) if needed.

 

4. Add special effects to your photo

Add dream studio effect ( highly recommended )

Original photo

 

Dream studio effect

 

 

Some other effects ( Color filter, Lomo effect, Sketch effect and Twins effect )

 

5. Use recovery wand tool

Recovery wand is like an eraser which erase all changes to particular area and recovery this area to original state.

For example, you can apply grayscale effect to your photo then recovery the person area with recovery wand to get a special photo: COLOR person on GRAYSCALE background.

 

Try other effects with recovery wand.

For example, 1) apply crystal effect first ( we find that face area is blur, which we don't want.)

2) Recovery face area with recovery wand. Now face area turns clear again.
