Make smarter edits with Photoshop Neural Filters.

When applying a Neural Filter, make sure to always add a duplicate layer on your image to preserve the original source image. “What I recommend people to do on output is select Duplicate Layer so you have another layer that has all your colors and edits,” says Ramirez.

If your filters are meant for your subject’s face, implement a layer mask manually for smoother blending between layers. “Sometimes the filter just overlays pixels, and they don’t look as good on top of the original image,” Ramirez explains. “You can definitely do it by hand in some instances and you probably get better results.”

Before you make any changes, see what they would look like on your image with the Preview button. Or if you don’t like the direction your photos take with filters on, click Reset and start over again.

Photoshop has all the smart tools you need to make what’s in your mind’s eye possible.
