Aiarty Image Enhancer | Version History

Aiarty Image Enhancer (Windows/Mac version)

New:
● Automatic Lightroom External Editor Setup: Aiarty now automatically configures itself as a Lightroom external editor upon launch, making it easy to send photos from Lightroom for further image enhancement and enjoy a smoother post-processing workflow.
● Adjustable Face Restoration Strength: Fine-tune the intensity of face restoration to achieve the right balance between enhanced skin quality and natural facial texture.
● Manual Face Selection: Face Restoration can now be enabled or disabled individually for each detected face.
● Added a new 2-Pass mode for "Face Restoration": Further refines restored faces with a second processing pass, significantly improving facial details.
