Masking lets you apply color adjustments to specific areas without affecting the rest of the image. Evoto offers Person Masks (face, body, clothing, accessories), Pet Masks, Background Masks, and Custom Masks (brush, linear gradient, radial gradient, luminance range). Smart Selection uses AI for instant area detection.
How to do it
Open the Masking tool from the Color module or the Floating Widget.
Choose a mask type: Person (per-person or All Persons with sub-masks for each body part), Pet, Background, or Custom.
For Person Masks: select specific areas like face skin, body skin, hair, clothing, or accessories (headwear, gloves, bag, jewelry).
For Custom Masks: use Brush (paint freeform), Linear Gradient (skies, horizons), Radial Gradient (faces, spotlights), or Luminance Range (brightness-based selections).
Use Smart Selection for AI-powered area detection: Segment (semantic), Interactive (real-time), or Quick (brush with edge detection).
Apply adjustments within the mask: Basic, Curves, HSL, Color Grading, and Detail are all available per mask.
Use Add/Subtract modes (shortcut: X) to refine mask boundaries.
Try it
Open a portrait with a busy background. Create a Background Mask, then lower its Saturation and increase Blur to make the subject pop. Add a Person > Face Skin mask to warm the skin tone independently.
Watch out for
Person Masks sync globally (not per-individual) when batch syncing across images.
Luminance Range masks can be combined with other mask types for complex selections.
