Grain & Lens Corrections

Add film-like grain texture and correct lens distortion and vignetting.

Article· 4 min

Grain adds intentional film-like texture for artistic effect. Lens Corrections fix optical distortions and vignetting from your lens. Both are finishing-touch tools that polish the technical quality and creative feel of your images.

How to do it

  1. Grain: adjust Overall Grain Strength, then fine-tune separately for Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights.

  2. Control grain character with Size (particle scale), Roughness (fine vs. coarse), and Color Variation (monochrome vs. colorful grain).

  3. Lens Corrections: in the Color module, find Lens Corrections at the bottom.

  4. For RAW files, Evoto attempts to identify the lens profile automatically. If a match is found, corrections are applied automatically.

  5. Manually adjust Distortion and Vignetting sliders when additional correction is needed.

Try it

Open a clean digital portrait. Add subtle grain (Strength 15, Size 25, Roughness 50) and compare with the original using spacebar.

Watch out for

  • Lens Corrections only auto-detect profiles for RAW files, not JPEGs.

  • Heavy grain conflicts with noise reduction — apply grain after noise reduction is finalized.
