Questions
Can I highlight more than one area?+
Each image has one spotlight. To point at more places, add arrows or zoom callouts next to it.
What is the difference between Light, Dark and Blur?+
They change what happens outside the spotlight: Light washes it out, Dark dims it, and Blur softens it. The strength slider controls how much.
Is my screenshot uploaded anywhere?+
No. RioShot edits the image inside your browser, on your own device. There is no server that receives or stores your picture.
Is it really free?+
Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on how many images you edit. RioShot is supported by sponsors.
