Structure AI

The Structure AI tool allows you to adjust the detail and clarity of an image. You can use this tool to reveal a great deal of detail or get a smoother image with less detail. StructureAI is the primary tool for increasing the contrast of an image and visualizing more details. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, StructureAI is content-aware and can adjust areas variably based on the subject. It is also human-aware, so it doesn’t overprocess people in your images. As a result, faces and skin look natural while the objects around them look detailed.

  • Amount. This slider selects the strength of the StructureAI effect. Moving it to the right increases the amount of visible detail in the image. Moving it to the left removes detail and flattens the image. This tool is soft and produces natural results.

  • Boost. This slider adjusts the overall display of details. Moving it to the right accentuates details. Compared to Amount, Boost emphasizes small details and is more aggressive. It offers an HDR-like look.

Tip: Need a Blur?

You can use a negative amount of StructureAI to create a blur effect. For precise control, consider using the Basic local masking adjustment to mask with brush strokes easily. For a heavier blur effect, use multiple instances for a heavier blur effect. Just pull the slider to the left for a negative effect that creates a blur.
