2Pick a tool and apply it

Choose a tool from the list on the left, set it up, and click Apply. Each one runs over every photo. To stack edits, answer No to the export prompt and pick the next tool, such as Crop/Rotate/Flip, then Background Remove/Replace, then Image Enhancer.

Tool	What it does for you
Crop/Rotate/Flip	One shape and direction for every photo.
Background Remove/Replace	One matching background behind every subject.
Image Enhancer	Clearer photos, with even light and color.
Denoise	Less grain from low light.
Deblur	Sharper photos that came out soft.
Filter (Color LUT)	One color style across the set.
Image Upscaler	Higher resolution for print or large screens.
Resize	New dimensions, such as a site's size limit.
