What does the Wet Watercolor effect change?

Wet Watercolor translates photographic edges, colors, and values into the marks and surface behavior of the named art medium, while retaining the source composition. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Wet Watercolor?

Choose Wet Watercolor for custom portraits and gifts, editorial illustrations, or story-driven social content when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains low-resolution faces, illegible source text, or photographs whose key identity depends on tiny texture that the chosen medium simplifies.
