Unmakr user guide

Getting started

Upload a picture (click the upload box or drop the file on the page). JPG, PNG and WEBP work best.

1. Erase what you don't want.
2. Copy From Source to rebuild or recycle parts of the picture.
3. Recolour and relight.
4. Export.

Your picture stays on your computer — nothing is uploaded.

Erase (Normal / Strong / Ultra)

Choose Erase → Normal and paint over text, marks, people or objects — they disappear as you paint and the spot is filled from the area around it.

• Normal: most cases.
• Strong: stubborn spots, busy backgrounds.
• Ultra: big objects.

Work in short strokes. Then use the Blend sliders above the picture to melt the result in.

Blend: Amount, Edge, Colour, Texture

After an erase, the bar above the picture adjusts the last erase:

• Amount: 100% = fully erased, lower brings some of the original back.
• Edge: softens the border so it melts in.
• Colour: pulls the colour toward the surroundings.
• Texture: adds back a little grain.

↺ resets the blend.

Copy From Source

1. Press ① Set Source and click the part of the picture you want to copy from.
2. Pick ② Normal / Strong / Ultra and paint where it should go.

The blue circle shows exactly what is being copied. Normal blends softly, Strong and Ultra copy more firmly.

Use it to rebuild an erased area, duplicate flowers, extend a sky or a floor — your style stays yours.

At the picture's edge: Reach the edges / Stay in place

When the copy reaches the border of the picture (sooner with a big brush):

• ↔ Reach the edges (default): it keeps going from another area that looks the same — flowers keep giving flowers — so you can paint from one side to the other.
• ◎ Stay in place: it copies only from where you set it and fades out softly at the border.

Tip: if you paint to the right, set the source on the left — it has room to move.

Copy settings (Seamless, Aligned strokes, Edge Softness, Colour Match)

• Seamless stroke: the whole stroke keeps one alignment — a clean continuous copy, no circles.
• Aligned strokes (off by default — turn it on to fill a big area): your next stroke continues the same copy, so several strokes rebuild one continuous picture. Press Set Source again to start a new copy.
• Edge Softness: higher = softer edge that blends the copy in.
• Colour Match: 0% copies exact colours (best for moving things). Raise it only if the copy looks a bit lighter or darker.

Recycle your artwork — ideas

• Erase a greeting text from your own card and write a new one with Custom Branding Stamp.
• Remove a person from a landscape, then rebuild the path with Copy From Source.
• Duplicate flowers, trees or clouds to fill an empty corner.
• Extend a floor, a sky or water to a new format.
• Recolour one area with Fill Area, then relight with Light & Tone.

Save often — you can continue later.

Brush shape and size

In the bar above the picture: Brush chooses the tip (Round soft/hard, Roller, Calligraphy, Artist texture, Splatter, Feather, Cloud, Watercolor) and Size goes from 2 to 80 px.

Small brush near details and edges, big brush for open areas.

Fill with one colour & Pick colour

1. Pick Colour → click the picture to take a colour (or choose one in the colour box).
2. Fill Area → click the area to fill.

Too much filled? Undo and lower Fill Tolerance. Not enough? Raise it.

Line drawings & colouring pages

Turn on Black & white line drawing (section 03b) for black lines on white paper: erased areas stay pure white and lines stay crisp. Turn it off for colour paintings and photos.

Lighten & Darken brush

Lighten Brush and Darken Brush paint light only — the colour stays the same. Perfect for a spot that is a touch darker or lighter than its surroundings after a fix.

Light & Tone sliders, Studio Look

• Shadows / Midtones / Highlights / Whites: each tone range.
• Dehaze / Clarity: removes the milky look an erase can leave.
• Contrast, Saturation, Sharpen, Warmth.
• Zone Light: top, middle, bottom, corners.

Studio Look applies a balanced setting in one click; Reset Light goes back.

Undo, Redo, Reset, Commit

• ↩ / ↪ (top right of the picture): undo and redo.
• Reset (top bar): back to your original picture.
• Commit Progress Now: locks in what you did, so a later Undo stops there.

Custom Branding Stamp

Type your name or brand in section 05 and press Apply Watermark Stamp to sign your artwork.

Save and continue later, New image

Tips for the best result

• Short strokes, then look, then continue.
• Smaller brush near edges and details.
• A hazy spot after an erase? Dehaze 20–40 and a little Sharpen.
• Copy shows a seam? Raise Edge Softness or use Blend → Edge.
• Save before a big change.
