Forget complex channels and manual selections. With Pixelcut's AI, you can apply intricate luminosity masks simply by describing your desired edit. Want to make a sunset sky more dramatic without altering the foreground? Just say so. Our tool intelligently selects pixels based on their brightness to make precise adjustments to highlights, midtones, and shadows. This approach gives you professional-level control over the light in your photos, perfect for enhancing landscapes or portraits, without the steep learning curve of traditional software.

Achieve Perfect Exposure Blending Instantly
High-contrast scenes, like a bright sky over a shadowed landscape, often challenge cameras. Instead of manually blending multiple exposures, you can use our AI to achieve a similar, high-dynamic-range effect from a single image. Use simple text prompts like "recover the details in the bright clouds" or "lighten the shadows on the hill." Our AI intelligently adjusts specific brightness ranges to create a single, beautifully balanced photo where every detail, from the brightest highlights to the darkest shadows, is clear and impactful.

Precise Control Over Color and Tone
Luminosity masks are about more than just brightness; they allow for incredibly targeted color corrections. For instance, you can enhance the warm orange and pink tones of a sunset without making the rest of the image look unnatural. Tell the AI to "add a cool blue tint to the shadows" or "make the midtones in the grass more vibrant." The edits are applied only to your specified tonal range, giving you surgical precision over the mood and atmosphere of your images through simple, conversational prompts.

Luminosity Mask Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
A luminosity mask is a photo editing technique that creates a selection based on the brightness values of the pixels in an image. This allows you to make targeted adjustments to only the highlights (brightest parts), midtones, or shadows (darkest parts) of a photograph without affecting the rest of the image.
Instead of manually creating complex masks through channels, you simply describe the changes you want in plain language. For example, you can type "brighten the dark foreground without touching the sky." Our AI analyzes your photo and your request to automatically generate and apply a precise luminosity mask to achieve the desired effect.
High-contrast scenes are perfect for luminosity masks. This includes landscape photos with a bright sky and a dark foreground, real estate photos of interiors with bright windows, or any image where you want to edit light and dark areas independently.
Yes. While you only upload a single image, you can use text prompts to achieve an effect similar to High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. By asking the AI to "recover details in the overexposed clouds" or "brighten the dark shadows," you can create a final image with a greater range of visible detail.
No experience is necessary. Our AI-powered tool is designed to eliminate the steep learning curve associated with traditional luminosity masking. If you can describe what you want to change in your photo, you can use this feature effectively.
You can perform many types of edits on specific tonal ranges. Common adjustments include changing brightness and contrast, increasing saturation, altering colors, and recovering details in highlights or shadows, all without impacting the rest of the picture.
