You can also adjust opacity for this filter.

Color Correction color_correction

This filter performs color correction of an image by a combined application of 'Color Temperature' and 'Shadow/Highlight Correction' methods.

If an original image does not need much color correction, applying this filter will result in only slightly noticeable changes.

You can also adjust opacity for this filter.

High Dynamic Range hdr

You can also adjust opacity for this filter.

Color Isolationcolors_isolation

The filter changes the saturation of certain areas in a photo, depending on specified color range.

The Color filter parameter can be configured via the Color Isolation Editor dialog.

The editor lets you specify one or several color ranges with the given tone and isolate them.

You can add / delete color ranges in the Colors panel, keeping in mind that they cannot overlap. Border and threshold values can be set in terms of numbers, by entering the desired values in the corresponding fields, as well as with the help of the mouse (to do so, just move the pointers on the scale).

Bound and threshold values on the left and on the right serve to create transitions of saturation from 100 to 0 (on the left) and from 0 to 100 (on the right) in the color range, as follows:

• to the left of the ‘left bound’ saturation=0;
• between the ‘left bound’ and the ‘left threshold’ saturation is increasing slowly;
• between the ‘left threshold’ and the ‘right threshold’ saturation is either left unchanged (if Maximize saturation = 0), or maximized (if Maximize saturation = 1);
• between the ‘right threshold’ and the ‘right bound’ saturation is gradually decreasing to zero;
• to the right of the ‘right bound’ saturation=0.

You can also adjust opacity for this filter.

Desaturation filter

Setting the transparency
of the desaturation filter,
the value of the opacity
parameter: 204

This filter blends the original image and the image obtained as a result of processing with a specified filter, with the opacitycoefficient.

In the example above the opacity filter is applied together with the Desaturation filter, with the opacity coefficient: 204.

The series of examples makes it clear that the selected filter is applied to the original image first, and then opacity is added to the resulting image. That allows you to blend the result with the source image with the opacity set by the 'opacity' factor.

This filter works together with several filters. In the list of their parameters, there is an additional section containing the opacity filter (see the screenshot below).

To disable the filter, you need to delete the opacity value.

The minimum value of the opacity filter is 1, the maximum value is 255. With the minimum value (1) of the 'opacity' coefficient the applied effect will be almost invisible. With the maximum value (255), only the 'parent' effect (in this case - 'Desaturation') will be visible.

Light Artistlight_artist

A filter that lets you create different lighting effects in a photo. This effect is achieved by adding various types of light sources with adjustable parameters.

You can also adjust opacity for this filter.

Below you can see the light sources editor window. It lets you add / remove light sources and adjust their parameters. Changing a parameter in this editor also changes it in the filter settings dialog and vice versa.

• Ambient light — ranges from 0 to 100. You can choose the color and intensity of ambient light. The white color with the intensity of 50 keeps the original colors of a photo unchanged.
• Reflection (Specular/Diffuse) — ranges from 0 to 100. This box allows you to adjust the mixture between specular and diffuse reflection, as well as select an image to be used as a reflection mask.
• Texture — ranges from 0 to 100. You can adjust the depth of texturing based on the mask from a chosen image.
• Light Sources — this panel lets you configure the parameters of light sources, add new sources or remove existing ones.
• Type — selection of light source type. Each source type has its own adjustable parameters.

Omni — creates a diffused light source.

• Intensity: affects the amount of focused light emitted by the source and ranges from 0 to 100. It can be configured only in the parameters edit panel.
• Height: moves the light source vertically relative to the image plane and ranges from 0 to 300. You can configure this parameter both in the edit panel and by moving the control points.
• X / Y: specifies coordinates of the light source center (in pixels). You can adjust coordinates both in the edit panel and by moving the control points.

Spot — creates a spot light source.

• Intensity: affects the amount of focused light emitted by the source and ranges from 0 to 100. It can be configured only in the parameters edit panel.
• Height: moves the light source vertically relative to the image plane and ranges from 0 to 300. It can be configured only in the parameters edit panel.
• Divergence: determines the maximum light cutoff angle. and ranges from 0 to 89. The value of this parameter is half the angle at the apex of the cone-shaped light flux generated by the source. The parameter can be configured both in the edit panel and by moving the control points.
• Tilt angle: determines the degree of deviation of the light source from the vertical axis and ranges from 0 to 89. You can configure this parameter both in the edit panel and by moving the control points.
• Rotation:rotates the light source around its center point on a certain angle.
• X / Y: specifies coordinates of the light source center (in pixels). You can adjust coordinates both in the edit panel and by moving the control points.

Parallel — creates a light source emanating from the edge of the image (parallel to the image edge).

• Intensity: affects the amount of focused light emitted by the source and ranges from 0 to 100.
• Tilt angle: determines the degree of deviation of the light source from the vertical axis and ranges from 0 to 89. You can configure this parameter both in the edit panel and by moving the control points.
• Rotation:rotates the light source around its center point on a certain angle.
• X / Y: coordinates of the light source center (in pixels).

In fact, coordinate parameters don’t affect anything in this type of light source, as the light comes only from the image edge. The only things that matter are the direction of the ray of light (Rotation) and the distance between the two control points (Tilt Angle). The less is the distance, the more light is emitted.

List of light sources

• Displays all available light sources and allows you to select a specific light source and configure its settings.

+ / - buttons

• Let you add or remove light sources.

• Preview areaThe preview area displays all available light sources with the specified parameters. Each light source, depending on its type, has control points that allow you to visually adjust and position a specific light source in a user photo region.
  Green dot
  • The green dot defines the center of a light source. Moving the center point of a light source in a user photo region will change other parameters in accordance with its new position.
  Red dot
  • Defines the tilt angle of a light source and the direction of the light flux relative to its center.
  Blue dot
  • Determines the light cutoff angle. The closer this dot is to the center of the light source, the wider the cutoff angle. The dot changes its position only when the white dots (peaks) are moved perpendicular to the direction of the light flux.

To move the light source "as is", without changing its parameters, hold down the Shift key while dragging it.

Face insertionposition_by_face_points

This filter allows to insert a face into a given image.

The coordinates of the eyes centers and the corners of the lips are used to insert a face into a template. These points are specified by the 'Face Region' smart object. Additional info can be found in this section.

More information on parameters that affect face insertion can be found here.

Rasterizationsticker

Rasterization is not a filter in a traditional meaning. In contrast to other filters that somehow change the image to which they were applied, Rasterization allows you to apply stickers to facial pictures and customize their parameters. More information about templates with stickers can be found here.

Emotions TransferEmotions Transfer

A filter that allows you to change facial expressions in faces recognized in user photos with the help of an extensive list of parameters.

To work with this filter, you need the Visual Emotion Editor (FaceTool), which is provided upon request by your team lead.

The visual emotion editor contains an extensive list of options for changing facial expressions. Each of the parameters in the list is responsible for the manifestation of a separate mimic element.

(documentation for the Visual Emotion Editor can be found in the directory where it is installed, in the manual folder).

Important! The path to the folder where the Visual Emotion Editor is installed must consist only of latin symbols. If the path contains any non-latin symbols (cyrillic, hieroglyphs, latin symbols with diacritic marks, etc), or if the path is too long, the tool will not work.

The interface of the Face Tool is only available in Russian.

To transfer the emotion data to the Template Creator you need to:

1. Export it as a .txt file using the menu File — Save project as (Файл — Сохранить проект как)
2. In the list of parameters of the Emotions Transfer filter, click on the button   that appears when the EditableParams property is selected.
3. In the opened window of the Emotion Settings Editor, click on the Load button

4. In the opened window, go to the directory with the required .txt file and open it.
5. Confirm the changes by clicking the OK button in the Emotion Settings Editor.

Items 3 and 4 can be excluded by simply dragging and dropping the required .txt file into the Emotion Settings Editor window.

To make changes in the Emotions Transfer filter in an already prepared template:

1. Use the Save file button to upload the .txt file with current parameters.
2. Load the file with parameters into the Visual Emotions Editor via the File — Open Project (Файл — Открыть проект) menu.
3. Make your changes
4. Save the new .txt file and load it back into the Emotions Transfer filter according to the previous instruction.

In this way, creating, editing, exporting and importing .txt files between these tools can be performed in both directions.

Color Transfercolor_transfer

A filter that allows you to transfer the color and texture of hair and skin from a sample photo to a user photo. The sample photo is set in the PSD file as a layer of Image type.

The filter supports masks based on the following:

• hair,
• skin,
• figure.

Important requirements regarding using the filter:

• A sample photo should contain skin or hair (depending on which object the filter is used for). So, you can only transfer color/texture from hair to hair and from skin to skin. It is not possible to transfer custom texture/pattern/fill.
• A sample photo in the PSD should not contain transparent areas or margins. If the size or proportions of the photo do not match those of the PSD canvas, you should position and crop the photo in such a way so that it occupies the entire canvas or add a non-transparent base layer filled with a color close to the colors of the photo. You can also use the Content-Aware Fill workspace in Photoshop to fill in empty areas. The presence of transparent areas significantly reduces the quality of the filter performance.
• The filter transfers color to the entire photo, while an expected result is obtained only within the specified mask (hair or skin). Outside the mask area, color and texture can be transferred with some artifacts. Thus, it makes sense to apply this filter together with dynamic masks and cut out only the necessary fragments of the result.

Face Warp face_warp

The Face Warp filter lets you deform any face from a user photo. Unlike the Emotions Transfer filter, it lets you make fine adjustments of facial features that look more natural. Besides, it helps avoid the error with automatic closing of the mouth when changing proportions.

In order to add this filter, you must first add a Face Warp Mesh to your template orientation via the menu Insert and then reparse PSD.

if you try to add theFace Warp filter before adding the Face Warp Mesh layer, you will get the following error:

This will create a new smart object in Photoshop named by default as FWM Face Warp Mesh with the following image:

When the reparsing is done, add the Face Warp filter to the user photo region. The Face Warp mesh will already be selected in the parameters tab.

You can have several Face Warp Meshes with different settings in a single project, however the Face Warp filter can use only one mesh at a time to process an image. In order for the filter to use a certain mesh for processing, select the required mesh in the filter settings and save the changes.

If you develop several orientations, it makes sense to add only one FWM smart object via the insert menu for any orientation, and then duplicate it to other orientations in Photoshop by choosing Layer - New - Layer Via Copy . In this case the content of the smart objects will be synchronized and in order to to change the content in all orientations, it will be enough to edit only one of them.

It is important to remember that choosing New Smart Object Via Copy in the context menu will create an independent copy of the smart object that isn't linked to the original. If you choose this method, you will have to change every FWM smart object in every orientation individually.

In order to start working with deformation you have to open this smart object without assigning it a color profile. You must leave it as is.

Inside the FWM Face Warp Mesh smart object there is a layer with another smart object initial.png , which one is the mesh for face morphing.

What can you do with the initial.png layer:

• bend/stretch (for example, using the Liquify filter, including the Face-Aware Liquify);
• use distortion filters;
• use other types of warping and distortion.

What you cannot do with the initial.png layer:

• change canvas size;
• change color and bit width of the image;
• draw anything on the image;
• change opacity.

What is allowed but not recommended due to unpredictable result:

• allow the image to go outside the canvas bounds;
• cut pieces of the image and copy / move to another place on the canvas;
• warp image too much.

Copying parts of the image	Heavy distortion within the canvas borders	The image went beyond the canvas borders

When working with the Face Warp filter you should bear in mind the fact, that beside the warp itself the face warp will add a 1px image shift. This fact is barely noticed in static templates (except when pixel precision is required), but is critical for animated templates, where this pixel shift is evident.

This problem is caused by Photoshop which after saving the mesh adds the mentioned shift and breaks the position.

To solve this problem you should add an empty Face Farp mesh to those frames, where morphing is not needed. This will add the same pixel shift and will compensate the difference. But you should remember that additional filters will increase the time required for processing an image.
