Frequently Asked Questions

What is image filtering and why is it used?

Image filtering is a process that modifies or enhances an image's appearance. It's used for correcting imperfections, adjusting colors and tones, or applying artistic effects to improve visual appeal or convey a specific mood.

How does adjusting image contrast improve a photo?

Adjusting contrast enhances the difference between light and dark areas. Increasing it makes an image 'pop' with more defined details, while decreasing it can create a softer, more muted look.

What does 'image saturation' mean and how does it change a picture?

Image saturation refers to the intensity or purity of colors. Increasing saturation makes colors more vivid and vibrant, while decreasing it mutes colors, eventually leading to grayscale.

When should I use a blur filter on my images?

Blur filters are great for softening images, reducing noise, creating a dreamy effect, or drawing attention to a specific focused area by blurring the background (like a bokeh effect).

What are RGB color channels and how do they affect an image?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) are the primary colors of light. Digital images use these channels to create all other colors. Adjusting individual channels can drastically alter an image's color balance and mood.

Can image filters make my photos look more professional?

Yes, when used thoughtfully, filters can correct exposure, enhance colors, and add stylistic touches that significantly improve the overall quality and professional appearance of photos.
