How to Filter a photo?
The guide shows how to filter a single photo using multiple filters simultaneously and save a result to the Photo Library in HEIC format at 100% compression quality.
1. Select a photo and tap the upper right button to start editing
2. Tap 'Effects' button on the bottom bar
3. Tap 'Controls' button on the bottom bar to get access to such filters as 'Contrast', 'Brightness', 'Gamma', 'Tint', and more.
4. Tap 'Saturation' button to pick this filter.
5. Use slider and '+/-' buttons on the top to set intensity of the selected filter. An alternative and more convenient way to change the intensity of the filter is to pan(move) one finger left and right across the screen. It is also possible to zoom in/out photo and scroll it when zoomed using two-finger gestures (marked green).
6. In the example, 'Saturation' is set to 1.50. Now select 'Exposure'. This action will NOT undo 'Saturation' effect.
7. Swipe right on the screen to change the default 'Exposure' value.
8. In the example, 'Exposure' is set to 0.20. Now select 'Contrast'. This action will NOT undo filters that have already been applied.
9. Swipe right on the screen to change the default 'Contrast' value.
10. In the example, 'Contrast' is set to 1.15. Keep in mind, to reset any filter to its default intensity, press and hold the filter button for a few seconds. To exit the current filter, tap the screen or tap the selected filter.
11. Tap 'Style' button on the bottom bar to get access to style effects.
12. Tap 'Vignette' filter to select it.
13. Swipe right on the screen to increase the intensity of the Vignette
14. In the example, 'Vignette' is set to 0.50. Tap the screen to exit.
15. Tap 'Apply' button on the bottom bar to finally apply all four filters to the photo.
16. Tap 'Export' button to prepare the photo for sharing.
17. Tap 'Format' button to change format.
18. Select 'HEIC' format.
19. When 'JPEG', 'HEIC', or 'AUTO' format is selected, the compression quality slider is active. Scroll left or right to change its value. For the example it is set to 100%. Tapping on the left/right part of the scale decreases/increases value by 1%.
20. When all set tap 'Share' button at the bottom of the pop-up screen to share the result.
21. Tap 'Save image' to save the result to the Photo Library. A link to the result will be added to 'CropSize' album, and a link to the original photo will be added to 'CropSize Originals' album of the Photo Library.
