Pixlr Now Has AI Tools to Go With Its Photo Editing Tools. I Gave It a Try

Lisa joined CNET after more than 20 years as a reporter and editor. Career highlights include a 2020 story about problematic brand mascots, which preceded historic name changes, and going viral in 2021 after daring to ask, "Why are cans of cranberry sauce labeled upside-down?" She has interviewed celebrities like Serena Williams, Brian Cox and Tracee Ellis Ross. Anna Kendrick said her name sounds like a character from Beverly Hills, 90210. Rick Astley asked if she knew what Rickrolling was. She lives outside Atlanta with her son, two golden retrievers and two cats. Online photo editing tool Pixlr wants you to know it's got AI chops, too. Pixlr isn't quite as old as Adobe's Photoshop, but it has been around longer than your average AI startup. It was founded in 2008 as a standard photo editor with zero AI functionality. After a few changes of ownership, founder Ola Sevandersson is back with high hopes for Pixlr's latest AI tools. In November, Pixlr added AI tools, including an image generator, a generative fill tool, a background removal tool and image expansion functionality. Pixlr tries to distinguish itself as a more user-friendly platform than its competitors, but says it can also still cater to more advanced users. Those competitors are a formidable bunch, including Adobe's Photoshop (and its Firefly AI tool), Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, PhotoRoom and Leonardo.ai, which was just acquired by graphic design platform Canva. The price is right -- there's a free version -- but Pixlr will have to do more than offer basic AI functionality if it's going to stand out from the crowd. To use Pixlr, you click on "sign up/log in" and create an account with your email. Once verified within a minute or so, you can start. I wanted to try out the image generation feature, so I asked Pixlr to create an image of a scene at the Olympics with a triumphant athlete winning a gold medal for the first time. The first result was more cartoonish than I was imagining, so I played around with styles, which include anime, neon punk, photographic and origami. Overall, they were all pretty good -- although the trophy in one athlete's hand was glitchy. Still, for a free image generation tool, it's not bad. (In addition to the unpaid version, Pixlr has subscription plans, which range from 89 cents per month to $9.91 per month.) I wanted to give Pixlr more of a challenge, so I asked for an image of She-Ra dining at a Waffle House. (She-Ra was He-Man's twin sister and the heroine of my childhood.) I was actually fairly impressed by these results -- although I didn't realize there was a She-Ra reboot in 2018, which is perhaps what Pixlr was referencing. I think anyone who's been to a Waffle House would agree the restaurant depictions were rather optimistic. And the more realistic versions of She-Ra in photographic style had dead eyes. Still, I was impressed Pixlr knew who She-Ra was. When I asked him how Pixlr compares to photo editors like, say, Photoshop, Sevandersson said it boils down to ease of use. Anyone can access Pixlr online for free. "We tried to take the technology and kind of dumb it down to make sure it works for most people," Sevandersson said. He declined to cite the number of users, instead saying Pixlr generates millions of images per day. However, a November press release said the photo editor is used by nearly 10 million people monthly. "One of the most-used features on our site is still cropping," he added. "Even if someone goes to [OpenAI's image generator] Dall-E and generates an image, they want to crop it anyway." That cropping feature is a relic of Pixlr's past. Founded in 2008, the company was acquired by software company Autodesk in 2011 and then stock photo agency 123RF in 2017. Sevandersson left after the Autodesk deal and returned under 123RF. Pixlr has since been spun out, but 123RF retains a stake. It is now based in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. "Five years ago, we started rebuilding everything," he said of the original photo editing tool. The background removal tool was Pixlr's first AI product. "The biggest change started pretty much two years ago when the first generative image generator started showing up," Sevandersson added. "That's when we knew this new technology is coming to disrupt everything. No one is going to sit and do photo editing like we did before."

Give Your Smartphone Photos Extra Pop Using These Color Grading Tools

Quick LinksLightroom CC IMGGen.ai Fotor Photoshop Express CapCut Key Takeaways Color grading is an oft-overlooked way to make your smartphone colors look more interesting. Free tools that'll help you color grade include Fotor and IMGGen.ai. Lightroom CC requires a monthly subscription, but it's worth getting if you want to take your smartphone photography more seriously. Color grading can take your smartphone photos to the next level. Your images will look more natural, and you'll also make yourself automatically stand out as most people ignore this aspect. Below are some of the best color grading tools for smartphone photos. 1 Lightroom CC I use Adobe Lightroom for both professional color grading and editing my smartphone photos. Lightroom CC is its mobile version, and you get access to four color grading wheels: Highlights Midtone Shadows Global (edits the full picture) After making basic saturation and white balance adjustments, you can use Lightroom's color grading wheels to add the final touches to your picture. This feature works with both RAW and JPEG files, so it's worth trying out. Close Lightroom CC starts at $9.99/mo for an Adobe Photography Plan, and you need a subscription before you can use this feature. Nonetheless, I think it's well worth the money if you plan to take your smartphone photography more seriously. Download: Lightroom CC for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 2 IMGGen.ai If you want to adjust the colors in your picture without manual work, give IMGGen.ai a try. All you have to do is go to the IMGGen website and then drag and drop your picture. Within a few seconds, you'll see a version of your image with adjusted colors (you can then download this). The downside of IMGGen is that it offers nowhere near as much control as Lightroom. However, if you just want an easy-to-use editor, this is a decent choice. You can make further adjustments via these free photo editing apps for Android and iPhone. 3 Fotor Fotor was one of the first photo editing apps I used, and I recommend it if you want something more advanced than IMGGen but also don't want to pay for Lightroom. In Fotor, you can -- like Lightroom -- change the hue and saturation for shadows, highlights, and midtones. You'll find these sliders in the Color Balance tab. Close The main difference between Fotor and Lightroom is that you can't alter the luminance for each section within the Color Balance tab. Nonetheless, it's a pretty good free tool. Fotor has a handful of other free tools to help you polish your smartphone pictures, such as Denoise -- but you'll have to pay if you want full app access. Download: Fotor for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 4 Photoshop Express In addition to free online AI photo editors and other paid-for apps, you can use Photoshop Express to color grade your pictures and add some extra pop. To grade your colors, you'll need to use Split Toning, a feature that used to exist in Adobe Lightroom. Split Toning in Photoshop Express lets you change various aspects of your picture by moving some dots along the color graph. I actually prefer using Split Toning in circumstances where I don't want to make drastic edits, or -- honestly -- when I don't have the capacity to think fully (it's more beginner-friendly than color grading, in my opinion). Close Photoshop Express is free to download, and so are most of its features. However, you'll need to upgrade to Photoshop Express Premium for RAW file editing (some smartphones now have these). Download: Photoshop Express for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 5 CapCut Another simple color grading tool for your smartphone photos is CapCut. However, to access this feature, you'll need to use the web app (I tried color grading in the mobile app and was unable to). CapCut has AI color correction if you want to adjust everything with a single click. However, you can also adjust the warmth and tint via sliders if you prefer. Similarly, you can alter the saturation and vibrance. If you use the AI color correction feature, you can adjust the intensity. You can color grade your photos in CapCut without getting a full-paid subscription, making it another alternative to Fotor and Lightroom CC. Regardless of your expertise level, and whether you want automatic adjustments or TO make your own, plenty of tools can help you color grade your smartphone photos. Try the ones we've mentioned here to make your pictures look more visually appealing.

My Favorite Photo Editing Apps That Aren't Oversaturated With AI Features

What Is the Command Key on Windows? A Guide to Mac Keys on Windows 10 and 11 Quick Links Affinity Photo 2 Capture One VSCO Afterlight 2 Key Takeaways Affinity Photo 2 offers advanced photo editing with a user-friendly interface and non-destructive RAW editing. Capture One allows for instant photo sharing and editing. VSCO provides unique filters and editing tools but requires a subscription for full access. Artificial intelligence is being integrated into just about everything nowadays, and one popular use case is taking and editing photographs. If, like me, you prefer to edit your photos manually, here are the best apps I've tried that use little or no AI. 1 Affinity Photo 2 Affinity Photo is a multi-award-winning editing app that can be used on macOS, Windows, and iPad, which means you can work on the same file using any of these devices. Standout features of Affinity Photo include skin retouching and blemish removal, a huge library of filters and effects, and extremely precise pen and brush options. While Affinity supports various AI plugins and extensions, these, thankfully, aren't mandatory for editing your images. The latest iteration, Affinity Photo 2, has a much-improved user interface layout, which is smoother and more intuitive. In addition, the most recent update allows for non-destructive editing of RAW files, which means you can edit and develop RAW images (such as those created with a DSLR camera) without losing a copy of the original RAW file, making it an excellent choice for professional and keen photographers. Download: Affinity Photo 2 for Windows and Mac | iPad ($33.99 for Mac and Windows, $8.99 for iPad) 2 Capture One If you work as part of a team or want to instantly share photos with collaborators, then you might want to check out Capture One. This software allows you to shoot images directly to a desktop, iPad, or iPhone, without any uploading or downloading, allowing for instant feedback from friends or clients. Capture One features all the expected editing tools, along with a large range of preset filters and styles. While Capture One does incorporate AI, you can choose the level integration, and just leave the boring jobs like exposure balance and cropping to the robots, thus saving your time for the artistic touches. You can take advantage of the 30-day free trial, after which there are various paid packages available, from the dedicated mobile app to the full studio subscription for professionals. Download: Capture One for Windows and Mac | iOS (Free, subscription available) 3 VSCO Similar to Instagram, VSCO is an image-sharing and editing app that works across Android, iOS, and desktop devices, allowing photographers to share their photos with other users on the platform. While there is a free version available, it only provides limited access to the VSCO community and the editing functions. To take advantage of over 200 preset filters and advanced editing tools, you will need to purchase a monthly or yearly subscription. Standout features of VSCO include access to imaging effects and GIFs that aren't found on other platforms, a unique range of movie-inspired effects and overlays -- think graining, scratches, or dust -- and the ability to group collections and galleries together, and choose who can see them. Download: VSCO for Android | iOS (Free, subscription available) 4 Afterlight 2 Afterlight and the all-new Afterlight 2 are both software applications designed for Apple devices. However, there is now a version that runs on Windows. It is aimed more at beginner photographers and has a simple, user-friendly interface with large, clear icons. It supports importing RAW images and exporting files in HEIC, or High-Efficiency Image Compression format. Along with a full suite of editing features, the app also allows you to adjust some of the settings on your phone camera before you take a photo, such as white balance, exposure, shutter speed, and ISO. The app also allows you to add layers of graphics and text to create stunning and unique visuals, and then upload them to social media. Download: Afterlight 2 for Windows | iOS (Free, subscription available) While artificial intelligence is certainly a useful and welcome addition to our lives, there are some things that the artistic among us would just rather do ourselves. To the discerning photographer, an editing tool that allows full user control is much more useful than an AI-powered tool that churns out run-of-the-mill photos.

These Are My Top 5 Canva AI Tools: Here's Why

I Tried 3 Professional AI Headshot Generators: This One Was Best Quick LinksResize & Magic Switch Translate Magic Write Magic Morph Grab Text Key Takeaways Canva's Magic Studio offers AI tools like Resize & Magic Switch for easy resizing of designs. Magic Translate helps translate designs while retaining style and choosing a tone. Magic Write offers tools for improving writing, and Canva's Magic Morph adds dimensions to designs. Canva's Magic Studio offers great ways to improve your Canva designs using AI. While you can do almost anything with AI, these are my favorite Canva AI tools and are often my go-to options when designing. 1 Resize & Magic Switch When making designs for multiple purposes, such as a variety of social media assets or posters and digital ads, it can be a huge hassle to resize and recompose your designs for all the many formats. Canva's Magic Switch and Resize tools let you resize your designs for other size formats at the click of a button. Using AI, this tool recomposes your design in a way that works best with your newly chosen format -- of course, you may still need to edit element positions to make it perfect. If you're using Canva for more than just a small creative hobby, then access to Magic Switch and Resize can be a brilliant reason to upgrade from Canva Free to Canva Pro. While it's not an AI tool specifically, Canva's Docs to Decks feature offers a similar result when reformatting your design documents into presentation decks. Once your design is finished, just select Resize & Magic Switch and select the boxes -- or add a custom size -- for the design sizes you require, and resize them. Open them after resizing to finalize the placement of elements before you save them. 2 Translate Canva introduced Magic Translate as part of its AI tool library in 2023. Using AI to translate designs can save you a lot of time and money when creating multilingual designs; however, you should always check the results with a native speaker to ensure the translation sends the right message. I like the Magic Translate tool because it not only translates entire documents while in-keeping with your design style, but you can also choose a tone of voice to ensure your translation gives the right message for your brand's design. While other tones may be correct in terms of translation itself, there are many languages that use more specific terminology to change entire meanings of phrases based on tone alone. You can find the Translate feature by selecting a text box, then selecting Resize & Magic Switch > Translate. There are over 130 languages to choose from, with Canva implementing more with every update. Although Magic Translate is a Canva Pro tool, Canva Free users can use it with one of their 50 free AI credits. These credits can be used on some -- but not all -- of Canva's AI tools. 3 Magic Write Canva Magic Write offers a whole host of tools to improve or transform your writing. You can find these tools either by selecting the text box, then selecting Magic Write, or by selecting the Quick Actions button in the bottom right corner -- which uses the / key as a keyboard shortcut. Some of the Magic Write tool offerings are: Changing the tone of writing Shortening or synthesizing your writing Rewriting your words Automatically fixing spelling errors One of the best ways to use Magic Write, if you are not a confident writer yourself, is by using the Custom Prompt option. This works similarly to AI generators like ChatGPT and you can use these helpful AI chat prompts. Whether you need help giving a little sparkle to your writing or you want help writing the entire copy from scratch, Canva's Magic Write tool offers different ways you can use it to boost your Canva designs. I think this is a helpful tool for a huge number of people. Some parts of this tool are offered under Canva's free plan, too. 4 Magic Morph Canva's Magic Morph works similarly to Adobe Firefly's AI font generation tool. You can use some of the same ideas for Firefly's font generator tool when using Canva's Magic Morph tool and get some very cool results. It can be found under the Quick Actions (/) or within the extensive list of Canva's apps. This is a Pro tool. To use it, select an element or text from your design and then open Magic Morph. You can also add an element from Magic Morph if you don't already have one you want to use. Then type a prompt into the text box, such as "red foil balloon", and select Magic Morph to generate. You'll receive four results, and you can choose the best one or even regenerate more. I think using Magic Morph in Canva is a great way to add extra dimensions to your Canva designs. I think it's best used on text, which is often flat, but it can also be used on other elements. Magic Morph makes designs look more detailed than what Canva offers with its typical non-AI design tools. Since Canva isn't an image manipulation software like Adobe Photoshop, Magic Morph offers a way to include image manipulation-style elements, and it just takes a few seconds for great results. 5 Grab Text Canva's Grab Text tool is one of my favorite Canva offerings. It is another Canva Pro feature, so you'll need a Canva Pro subscription or free trial to use it, but I think it's a tool that's worth the money. My favorite use of Grab Text is after having generated an AI image with text in it. Most AI image generators cannot generate readable text in the English language. Grab Text is the best tool for fixing AI gibberish text that I've found, but you can also use it for regular text in created Canva projects or uploaded photos. Select the image with text and choose Edit Image > Grab Text. This Canva AI tool identifies any text in an image, regardless of language, including AI gibberish which isn't in any human language at all, and turns it into an editable element. This means you can rewrite text in photographs or remove text entirely. Canva's AI does a great job of identifying the font -- or finding a similar one if you want to rewrite the text. It also works very well to fill in the space if you'd rather remove the text entirely. This tool saves so much time, whereas using something like Adobe Photoshop will take several minutes. There are many ways you can use Canva's AI tools to improve your images, even though most tools are under the Pro subscription, you may save money versus buying expensive subscriptions to Adobe or other software. These five tools are not an exhaustive list of Canva's AI tools. Many of its other AI tools found within the Magic Studio or Canva Apps are fun to use and helpful too. There are image and video generators, including Magic Design, which can compose entire designs based on a text prompt alone. There's also Magic Animate, Magic Expand, or Magic Edit to name a few. In a world where almost all creative software presents AI tools, these five are my favorite ones I deem worthwhile to choose Canva Pro for.
