Water Enhancer AI

The Water Enhancer AI Tool leverages artificial intelligence to enhance the natural beauty of water in photographs, allowing for customized adjustments in brightness, contrast, and color to increase clarity, vibrancy, and precision. It provides advanced composition controls, such as drawing, erasing, and restoring water areas, ensuring a seamless integration between the enhancements and the original scene. This tool is aimed at transforming aquatic photography, enabling the capture of water in its most captivating form with exceptional detail and realism.

Main tools and sliders:

  • Amount Adjust this slider to control the intensity of the enhancement applied to the water. Increasing it amplifies the effect, making water features more vivid and pronounced, while decreasing it maintains a closer resemblance to the original scene.

  • Blue. With this slider, you can adjust the blue tones in the water, enhancing the vibrancy and depth of oceans, seas, and pools. If you slide it toward the higher end, the water appears more profound and refreshing, while if you slide it towards the lower end, the blue tones appear more subtle and warmer.

  • Green. Slide towards the upper end to enhance green tones, which make rivers and lakes look lush, vibrant, and lush, while slide towards the lower end to reduce green tones for a more neutral or clear appearance.

  • Original Color. With this slider, you can adjust the contrast between the enhanced colors and the original hues of the water.

  • Brightness. You can adjust the brightness of the water to match the overall lighting of your scene. Increasing the brightness can make the water sparkle and appear more inviting, while decreasing it can give the scene a moodier, more subdued feel.

  • Contrast. Using this slider, you can adjust the contrast within the water elements. A higher contrast will deepen shadows and highlight details, giving the water texture and depth, whereas a lower contrast can create a softer, more uniform surface.

  • Refine area. Adjusts the selected area of an image precisely, providing more detailed and targeted editing capabilities.

  • Size. Adjusts the size of the tool's brush or eraser, allowing for larger or smaller adjustments to the refinement area, which is useful for covering different areas efficiently.

  • Softness. Controls the edge softness of the brush, with higher values creating more blends at the edges for a smoother transition and lower values creating a sharper, more defined edge.

  • Strength. Determines the intensity of the adjustments made with the tool, with higher values applying a more substantial change and lower values applying a subtler effect.

  • Mask Feather. Adjusts the feathering of the selected mask, which softens the mask's edges, creating a more gradual transition between the masked and unmasked areas.

  • Depth. Modifies the perceived depth or z-axis manipulation of the selected area, which can give a sense of layering or focus to specific elements of the image.

Additional tools:

  • Draw. Draw lets you specify precisely what regions will receive adjustments by adding manually to the area you wish to refine or affect.

  • Erase. With the Erase option, you can remove portions of the area you've previously selected with the Draw function, allowing you to refine only the desired areas.

  • Restore. With Restore, you can reverse any changes made with Draw or Erase, returning the selected area to its original state.
