Why Image Highlighting Matters

Image highlighting is essential for visual communication. It helps emphasize critical details, guide viewer attention, and deliver your message with clarity and impact.

Choose Your Highlighting Mode

Lens Mode

Create a magnifying glass effect to zoom into specific details

  • Perfect for product photography and close-ups
  • Adjustable zoom level from 1.1x to 4x
  • Customizable lens size for precise control
  • Ideal for showcasing intricate details

Focus Mode

Highlight rectangular areas while dimming the rest of the image

  • Best for tutorials and step-by-step guides
  • Clean, professional appearance
  • Variable blur intensity (0-20px)
  • Perfect for UI/UX documentation

Visual Enhancement Techniques

Blur Control

Apply strategic blur to non-essential areas, directing focus to what matters most. Adjustable from subtle (2px) to dramatic (20px) for maximum visual impact.

Color Overlays

Add custom color overlays with adjustable opacity to create depth and atmosphere. Choose colors that complement your brand or enhance visual hierarchy.

Zoom & Magnify

Highlight fine details with precision zoom. Perfect for revealing texture, quality indicators, or small text that needs emphasis.

Best Practices by Use Case

Software Tutorials

  • Use Focus Mode to highlight clickable buttons or menu items
  • Apply moderate blur (8-12px) to reduce visual clutter
  • Maintain consistent highlighting style throughout
  • Combine with arrows or annotations in your final design

E-commerce & Products

  • Use Lens Mode to showcase fabric texture, stitching, or materials
  • Apply 2-3x zoom to reveal product quality and details
  • Keep background blur subtle (3-5px) to maintain context
  • Use neutral overlays to avoid distorting product colors

Presentations & Marketing

  • Emphasize key data points with dramatic blur effects
  • Use color overlays to match your brand identity (adjust opacity to 60-80%)
  • Create visual hierarchy with varying blur intensities
  • Avoid over-highlighting—less is often more

Design Feedback

  • Use Lens Mode to point out pixel-level details or alignment issues
  • Apply high zoom (3-4x) for precision feedback on spacing or typography
  • Combine with screen capture tools for markup and annotations
  • Use consistent lens sizes across multiple feedback items
