How to use: Highlighter

In today’s tutorial we are going to learn how to use the Highlighter feature of the AirBrush app. This option allows you to increase the lighting of specific areas in your photo. For example, you can apply it on your face to give your skin a refreshed and glowing look. Using the Highlighter mode on your picture will also create depth and accentuate your features. 

The Highlighter tool of the AirBrush app is as handy and easy to use as it comes with an adjustable brush size and eraser option. However, these options are only available to our users with an AirBrush subscription.

You can increase or decrease the size of your brush from 0 to 100. The size option is available throughout your edit, don’t hesitate to change the size to suit your editing needs.
