## Description

Stop leaving WordPress to edit your images. Advanced Pixel Editor brings Photoshop-
grade image processing — powered by **ImageMagick** — directly into your dashboard.
Select any image from your Media Library, fine-tune contrast and sharpness with 
live preview, and save the result without ever opening a desktop app.

**Advanced image editing within WordPress.** Sigmoidal contrast adjustment and unsharp
masking — the same core algorithms used by Photoshop and Lightroom — with precision
sliders that update the preview instantly. Drag the built-in before/after comparison
slider to evaluate your edits side-by-side with the original.

**Works right where you already are.** Open the editor from the Media Library grid
view, list view, or attachment edit screen. Your edited image can be saved as a 
new file or used to replace the original (with automatic backup and one-click restore).

#### What You Can Do

 * **Sigmoidal Contrast** — The same gradual, tone-preserving contrast curve used
   by Photoshop and Lightroom
 * **Unsharp Mask** — Professional sharpening with independent amount, radius, and
   threshold controls — identical to Photoshop’s Filter  Sharpen  Unsharp Mask
 * **Real-time Preview** — Every slider change renders instantly via ImageMagick
   on the server
 * **Before / After Slider** — Draggable comparison overlay to evaluate edits at
   a glance
 * **Save As New or Replace** — Keep the original untouched, or overwrite it with
   automatic backup
 * **Restore Original** — One click to revert a replaced image
 * **Crop & Resize** — Interactive crop overlay with aspect ratio presets (free,
   1:1, 4:3, 16:9), resize with aspect lock, and DPI controls
 * **Deep Media Library Integration** — « Advanced Editor » buttons in grid modal,
   list view, and attachment page
 * **Fully Responsive** — Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile
 * **Accessible** — Full keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and screen reader support

#### Upgrade to Pro

Need more than contrast, sharpening, and crop? [**Advanced Pixel Editor Pro**](https://prowoos.com/shop/web-development/plugins/advanced-pixel-editor-pro/)
adds a full Photoshop-style toolset on top of the free editor:

 * **Advanced Filters** — Photoshop-style Levels and Curves dialogs, plus brightness,
   saturation, hue, clarity, dehaze, vibrance, highlights/shadows, and artistic 
   effects like sepia, vintage, duotone, and black & white
 * **Watermarking** — Text watermarks with 50+ Google Fonts or image watermarks 
   with transparency, plus 9-point positioning and tiling
 * **Batch Processing** — Apply filters to 10–100+ images at once with real-time
   progress, pause/resume, and background processing — like Photoshop’s Actions,
   but built into WordPress
 * **Filter Presets** — Save and reuse your favorite filter combinations

#### Powered by ImageMagick – The Industry-Standard Open-Source Image Engine

Advanced Pixel Editor is powered by [ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org/), the
leading free and open-source software suite for creating, editing, converting, and
manipulating digital images. First conceived in 1987 and publicly released in 1990,
ImageMagick remains a foundational tool in digital imaging nearly four decades later.

It delivers battle-tested algorithms that power professional workflows worldwide—
many of which are functionally equivalent (or directly comparable) to those found
in premium tools like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, including:

 * **Sigmoidal contrast** for natural, highlight-preserving brightening and dynamic
   range adjustments
 * **Unsharp masking** for precise sharpening with controllable halo suppression
 * **Lanczos resampling** (and other high-quality filters) for crisp resizing and
   scaling

All processing runs securely server-side via the mature PHP Imagick extension, which
binds directly to ImageMagick’s core libraries. This gives your WordPress site professional-
grade image manipulation without relying on client-side JavaScript limitations or
third-party cloud dependencies.

#### Requirements & Hosting Compatibility

The plugin requires the **Imagick PHP extension** (not the older deprecated GD-only
fallback).

Most modern hosting providers (including SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, Flywheel,
Cloudways, and the majority of VPS/dedicated servers running PHP 8.1+) have Imagick
pre-installed or available with one support ticket. If your host does not have it
enabled:

 1. Open a quick support ticket asking: « Can you enable the Imagick PHP extension 
    for my account? »
 2. Most providers activate it within hours (often instantly via their control panel).

We strongly recommend confirming Imagick is active before going live — you can usually
check via a `phpinfo()` page or a simple test script:

    ```
    <?php echo extension_loaded('imagick') ? 'Imagick is installed (version: ' . phpversion('imagick') . ')' : 'Imagick extension is NOT available.'; ?>
    ```

If Imagick cannot be enabled on your current host, consider migrating to a provider
that supports it natively — it’s a standard requirement for serious image-heavy 
WordPress sites in 2026.
