Use the current station layout map to find the live photo workspace sections, then open the matching guide section for preview stage, output size, cached preview before job, file rows, preset tabs, pricing, and export flow.
Use these shortcuts to show one part of the guide at a time. The active photo section opens below while the rest of the workflow stays tucked away.
The current station starts from the large preview stage, output size row, cached preview before job strip, original and output file rows, Upload Image, Clear Image, Compare Before, and Export Processed Image. Pick the output target before tuning deeper settings.
The original row identifies the loaded source. The output row starts as awaiting enhancement, then changes to the processed filename, applied target, aspect behavior, and export format when the result is ready.
Presets set the broad photo treatment in the current tabbed control panel. The cached preview before job strip summarizes the setup before Upload Image or export actions are used.
The fit suggestion reads the local photo before processing. It stays editable: apply it when it matches the job, or choose another preset when your final use case matters more than the automatic signal.
Check settings ready, preset, output target, strength, preview readiness, and effect count before processing. Open the full settings list when you need to audit every adjustment being sent.
Use the browser preview and cached preview chips first. Enhance Image should come after the output target, preset, adjustment tabs, and frame behavior are already correct.
Adjust, Detail, Retouch, and Transform now live in the same lower station panel as Presets. Keep the preview stage visible above while moving between the control tabs.
Color noise reduction, banding reduction, color fringe correction, and dehaze / clarity help with speckles, sky gradients, edge halos, haze, and flat contrast without turning every job into a heavy sharpen pass.
Use Smart finish only for routine jobs. Open cleanup, tone, or full finish controls only when the cached preview still needs a targeted correction.
JPEG is the normal browser-ready export. PNG is better when transparency or clean graphics matter. WEBP is useful when smaller file size matters and the destination supports it.
Retouch stays focused on subjects and backgrounds. Transform controls how the photo fits the selected target frame, plus rotation, flips, straighten, and lens / perspective correction.
Use face retouch, skin smoothing, object cleanup, background mode, and background blur only when the image content actually needs subject or background work.
Fit full image is safest. Fill selected size and Center crop are useful when a platform frame matters more than preserving every edge of the original photo.
Use wide-angle correction for phone lens bend, vertical perspective straighten for tilted buildings or interiors, and combined correction only when both problems are visible.
Rotate, flip, and straighten should solve source orientation or horizon problems. They are preview and request controls, not replacement steps for choosing the right output size.
The current empty-state preview area confirms where the loaded file will appear, then keeps comparison controls close to the image after processing. Use the comparison controls before export so the final job starts from a visible setup.
After shows the current preview result, Before shows the source, Split overlays the comparison in one frame, and Side separates the two views for easier inspection.
Use Fit for layout review, 100% for detail inspection, plus and minus for smaller checks, and Reset View when panning or zooming gets in the way.
The cached browser preview is an approximation of the final job, but it should clearly show output shape, tone direction, crop behavior, and major setup choices.
Watch Local preview cached, Target size, Preserve aspect, Ready to process, and output-ready states. They are the fastest way to catch a mismatched target or unfinished setup.
Each Enhance Image run uses an available photo credit or paid pack credit. The current guide reference also shows the photo pricing panel that appears below the station when more enhancements are needed.
Use these as safe first passes, then confirm the browser preview and cached preview chips before processing.
Medium or Web target, Natural Pop, JPEG, white balance auto, soft auto levels, light dehaze / clarity, and no retouch unless the subject needs it.
Deblur, Medium or HD target, light cleanup, medium sharpening only if the preview still looks soft, and detail preserve high enough to avoid crunchy texture.
Clean Up, JPEG or PNG depending on content, medium color noise reduction, light banding reduction, and only mild sharpening after cleanup.
Upscale, choose HD or 4K first, keep preserve aspect unless a platform frame is required, then inspect Side mode before processing.
Natural Pop or Clean Up, balanced lighting recovery, white balance auto, vignette correction if corners are dark, and lens / perspective correction only when lines bend or lean.
These answers match the current Photo Editing Station controls shown above.
Start with the suggested preset when it matches the job. Otherwise use Natural Pop for normal cleanup, Deblur for softness, Clean Up for noisy files, and Upscale for larger exports.
Adjust now includes white balance, auto levels, vignette correction, lighting recovery, skin tone protection, color noise reduction, banding reduction, color fringe correction, and dehaze / clarity.
Open it only when Smart finish is not enough. It exposes cleanup, sharpening, deblur, detail preserve, compression cleanup, upscale strength, brightness, contrast, color richness, and warmth.
Medium or Web is safest for routine work. Use HD, 4K, or a social size only when the destination needs that frame or the final file must be larger.
Use it for visible phone-lens bend, tilted vertical lines, architecture, interiors, product tables, or room photos. Leave it off for ordinary portraits and landscapes unless lines look wrong.
After the output target, preset, cached preview chips, Adjust, Detail, Retouch, and Transform settings are correct. The completed output row becomes the export source.
