Image Processing

The image processing tools enable you to enhance the quality of the selected image, rotate the image, and crop the image to use only a portion of the original source image. This enables you to focus on the specific facial details within an image and results in more accurate talking images.

Click Image Processing to open the image processing tools and enhance the image.

Note:

  • If you import an image from your local folders, the image processing screen is automatically opened. If you do not want this screen to open automatically, uncheck the Show while importing check box the first time the screen opens after importing an image.


  • Use the tools on the left side of the image processing menu to adjust the area, quality, and color settings of the image as follows.

    Click Crop Image to select only the required image area. This can be useful when you want to select a face from a group photo or remove a large background area which is not needed for the model. Cropping the image allows you to remove excess background area and enlarge the facial image that you wish to turn into a moving image. This does not change the original image size.

    Drag a marquee across the image using the mouse to create a crop box. Use the corner handles of the marquee to rotate the crop box. Use the mouse to move the crop box across the image as desired. Click when done. Click to cancel the current crop box and restart.

    Click Rotate CW or Rotate CCW to rotate the image by 90 degrees in the clockwise or counter clockwise direction.

    Click Mirror to create a mirrored reflection of the image. This function is useful for images obtained from scanners or cameras.

    Click Smart Level to adjust the color levels of the image automatically. CrazyTalk analyzes the color levels and adjusts the brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation levels to achieve optimum image quality.

    Click Color Level to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation levels of the image manually. Use the sliders in the menu box to adjust the values or enter the numerical values for each parameter in the boxes next to the sliders.

    Click Color Balance to adjust the color balance manually. Drag the sliders to adjust the Cyan - Red, Magenta - Green, and Yellow -Blue levels. The box next to each of the respective properties shows positive or negative values depending on the position of the slider, with the center being zero. Click Highlights to apply these color settings to emphasize the brighter areas. Click Midtones to apply these color settings to the entire image with average intensity. Click Shadows to apply these color settings to emphasize the darker areas in the image.
