Coordinate those icons!
Changing the color scheme of your graphics is as easy as opening the color picker and clicking the hue that best fits your design.
Good colors, wrong shade. Our graphics packs have hundreds of pro-level icons that are ready to use, but the one you really like might be the wrong color. Use Web Image Studio’s powerful color tools to get them all on the same page (literally!)
Colors that look “just right”. Now that you can customize those already-awesome theme graphics, you should have no problem matching them to the color scheme of the rest of your website. You can even define custom colors for even more control.
And Here’s How:
Click and switch. Open an icon for the palette tab to show all the colors it uses. Double-clicking a hue opens the color picker so you can switch it to match your website’s color scheme. Now export it with the Save for Web button. You can customize icons in minutes.
Be an artist, or an editor.
With Web Image Studio, customizing graphics is nearly effortless.
You can add subtle changes or striking effects in just a few clicks.
Start here. Stock themes look great straight-out-of-the-box, but they may not use the color scheme you’re looking for. You might even want to add some things to make it your own. Can you spare a couple clicks? That’s all it takes.
Finish here. Ah, that’s better. It’s amazing what color and typography changes can do for a design. Along with those quick and easy edits and much more, almost anything is possible with Web Image Studio.
And Here’s How:
Change a range of colors at once. The Color Palette tab shows you all the hues in your graphic. Just double-click a swatch to open the color picker, then choose the one you’d rather use and click OK. Web Image Studio automatically changes the full range of color, not just one tone.
Use words that fit best.
Have a snazzy new heading or tagline? Release your inner poet with the text tool. It’s like your favorite notepad, but with much prettier results.
Make it your own. We know. The text in stock graphics might not be exactly what you’re after. Fortunately, you’ve got complete control! Yep, you’ve got full power to add, edit, or remove text anywhere you see it in your theme graphics.
A personal touch. You can use any font that’s installed on your computer to make snazzy headers, labels, or entire paragraphs of text. And just like any other rich text editor, you can apply bold, italics, choose alignment, and more.
And Here’s How:
Change that title. Didn’t like that headline? Deleted! Now just click the text tool to open the text editor and choose a font. Type your new text and then adjust its size and location—it’s as easy as that!
Give it a “wow” factor.
Create professional-grade effects, including gradients, stroke, blur, and shadows that’ll make that image pop off the screen.
Make sure this page gets attention. Your theme’s looking pretty good, but it needs something to really make it stand out. With a little bit of creativity, you can create incredible details that really give your website that polished look.
Finishing touches. WIS’s shadow tool did a great job here, and the other effect tools are sure to make you smile, too. Create linear or radial gradients with up to eight shades using the fill tool, or use stroke to apply line thickness.
And Here’s How:
Three steps to fantastic text. To take your words from plain to kapow, use the flexible text tool and the vector styles. First, rotate the text very slightly by moving the red handle. Next, change the font color to white and apply a sharp drop shadow to give it depth. Lastly, draw an angled line underneath with its own drop shadow to really make that headline jump off the page.
Edit Images in a Snap!
Never before have great results been so easy. It’s the little things that matter, but the big things slap your face and demand your attention.
Flowers are pretty. But they might not be the color you wanted. Fortunately, Web Image Studio’s advanced (but simple-to-use) Image Editor has the tools you need to tweak these colors in just about any way you can imagine.
That’s what I wanted! Using the “Pop” effect in the Image Editor, all the yellow and red in the image can be replaced with another color-like purple. Now you’ve got the flower color you wanted. You can see all image effects here.
And Here’s How:
From old to new. Open the Image Editor with the “Edit Image” toolbar button, then choose the “Pop” effect. You can isolate the yellow/red spectrum in the “Old” section, and choose purple in the “New” section. Voila! Yellow flowers now appear purple—just one of the cool effects in the Image Editor.
Predefined Effects:
Cool effects. Launch the Image Editor to bring up a panel of nine easy-to-tweak presets. Whether you want a vintage style or are looking to isolate a color to make it “Pop,” these effects will put some punch in your photos.
Advanced Effects:
Take your pick. Choose from a quick click on a preset, or use the Advanced Tools menu for a more hands-on experience. These sets of simple sliders and buttons bring you an interface that won’t give you a raging migraine.
We made a new graphics format, too. Sure, you’re probably asking “Why do we need another graphics format?” Trust us, we didn’t want to make a new format (it was a lot of work), but there was no other way to get the speed and flexibility we needed to make such an awesome app. The Web Image Format (.WIF) is a vector based file designed specifically for the way regular people work, and it’s brilliant in Web Image Studio Lite. We think you’ll see we made the right choice. Want to know more?
Go Freehand: Use the pencil tool to draw whatever you like with your mouse. When you’re done with the line, Web Image Studio converts it into vector data so you can go back and tweak each point later. Draw with complete confidence!
Elegant Curves: The pen tool allows you to draw one continuous line of straight or curved segments. The Bézier curve feature is simple: Just drag the handles as you draw to create a smooth, pro-looking curve, and double-click to end the line.
Simple Image Editing: You’re going to love the Image Editor. This toolbar button brings you nine tweakable presets and a whole list of advanced effects sliders, so you can take the one-click approach or explore your options in-depth.
Easy Alignment: Select two or more objects and click the Align toolbar button to display your alignment choices. You can align objects in six different orientations so that you’re only a few clicks from to-the-pixel-exact object placement.
