This guide illustrates the various ways to edit photos in HD with Painnt. First, lets look for a nice HD image, like this one:
Let’s use this image in Painnt. Open Painnt, choose the Sandstone style, and choose the above pic. In the Preview screen of Painnt the first selector called Output allows to set the output size:
Initially this is M, standing for medium. The output size is always subject to the original image’s size and your device’s processing capabilities — but in general the output size will be:
- Medium: around 700 px
- HD: around 1200 px
- FHD: around 1920 px (subscription only).
- 4K: around 4000 px (subscription only).
- Orig: The original size of the input (subscription only).
Tap on Save, and let’s see the result:
Nice result! However, the output resolution is too small (800x450), not suitable for printing for instance. Let’s select FHD, and wait for the photo to be processed. This is the result:
And the photo output:
The resolution is higher, but also the brush used looks smaller. What if we want to have it larger? For that we need to increase the brush size. Scroll down in the options until you see a slider called “Size” under “Brush”, and move it one position to the right (so it’s in the middle):
Painnt is enlarging the brush size but keeping the HD resolution. This operation can take some time depending on your device as it’s computation heavy.
As you can see, now the brush size is larger so that the end result looks closer to the medium size, but the output resolution is FHD (2400x1350).
You can also increase even further the brush size, but bear in mind it will take more computation!. Also, you can do the same for 4K output. For original size, the brush size cannot be increased as per the current version of Painnt (1.61), but it’s in the plans for next versions.
Tiling and Overlap
Sometimes when the resolution is too high then Painnt will split the image in tiles and process separately. Then, Painnt will join the tiles back into the final result. Sometimes depending on the style there will be stitching marks. To prevent this you can use the “overlap” slider, so that it becomes less noticeable.
