Creative Editor

The Tenovos Creative Editor provides editing capabilities for photos and videos directly from the Tenovos Enterprise DAM. It streamlines asset creation by letting you edit content directly in Tenovos and then save the edited content as new assets within the platform, and even relate them back to the original.

From the Asset Details page in Tenovos, clicking Edit Photo or Edit Video opens the Creative Editor. Editing photo content includes cropping presets for popular social media and print formats, text overlays, and color adjustments. Editing of video content includes frame accurate clipping along with additional options for timeline splicing, text overlay, and other adjustments.

When saving edited content, you can Save to DAM or Save and Relate. Save to DAM creates a net-new asset. Save and Relate saves the asset and automatically creates a relationship between the new asset and the original parent asset. New assets are assigned a unique asset id while retaining the metadata and security from the parent asset.

NOTE: The Creative Editor requires a subscription add-on. To continue using the Creative Editor beyond the 30-day trial period, contact Customer Success to upgrade.

Getting started​

This section provides an overview of the Tenovos Creative Editor. It includes overviews of using the Creative Editor to modify image and video assets, an introduction to the Creative Editor tools, a list of supported file types, and the role privilege you need to access the Creative Editor in Tenovos.

TOPICS IN THIS SECTION

Open the Creative Editor​

To open the Tenovos Creative Editor, locate the image or video in Tenovos and open its Asset Details, then click Edit Photo/Edit Video. Note: All required fields on the asset must be complete before opening an asset in the Creative Editor.

Creative Editor tools​

Most of the Tenovos Creative Editor tools are available to all Tenovos-supported asset types. Options that are specific to image or video editing are noted as such. For example, image cropping presets are available for images only and video trimming is for videos only.

The toolbar options will vary depending on what you’re modifying in an asset. For example, when you first open an image asset, you’ll see options that include Adjustments and Filter. Double-clicking the asset displays manual cropping grab bars and element orientation options.

Supported file types​

Tenovos Creative Editor supports standard image and video file types. This includes JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG for images, and MP4 and MOV for videos. File types that are not supported will not display the Edit Photo or Edit Video option in their Asset Details. (If you do not have the required role privilege, you will not see those options regardless of the asset file type.)

For image assets, you can choose to save them as JPG files or PNG files, depending on whether you need to maintain transparency. Video assets are saved as mp4 files.

Required privileges​

To access the Tenovos Creative Editor, users must have the Creative Editor role privilege.

Working with image assets​

When you open the Tenovos Creative Editor for an image asset, the left column displays the cropping and text overlay tools. The tool bar above the image, includes the editing tools of Adjustments, Filter, Effect, and Blur. Additional tools will be available based on what you’re modifying in an asset.

Most of the Tenovos Creative Editor tools are available to all supported asset types. Options that are specific to images or videos are listed in Image editing tools and Video editing tools.

TOPICS IN THIS SECTION

Adjustments​

The Adjustments tool gives you multiple options for image optimization and post-processing.

  • Basic options include Brightness, Saturation, Contrast, and Gamma.
  • Refinements enable you to adjust image Clarity, Exposure, Shadows, Highlights, Blacks, Whites, Temperature, and Sharpness.

To adjust image colors and tones:

  2. In the toolbar, click Adjustments to open its options on the left.
    (For videos, click the asset to display the toolbar.)
  3. Use the sliders to optimize the Basic and Refinements options.
    • Basic options include Brightness, Saturation, Contrast, Gama.
    • Refinements options include Clarity, Exposure, Shadows, Highlights, Blacks, Whites, Temperature, Sharpness.

Blend mode​

You can apply blend modes to the text overlays that you add to a video or image asset. Each blend mode has distinct characteristics, adding a unique effect to the final composition. The Blend mode is accessed via the Creative Editor toolbar's context menu. Clicking that option displays the available blend modes, grouped by the overall effect they have on an image, including darkening, lightening, and adjusting contrast and saturation.

To apply a blend mode to a text overlay:

  1. Add the text overlay to the video or image asset.

  2. In the Creative Editor toolbar, open the More Options and select a Blend Mode. Blend modes are grouped based on their main outcome—Normal, Darker, Lighter, Contrast, Color, and Comparative. Normal Default mode. Leaves layer as-is.

    Darker

    Darker blend modes are ideal for working with shadows or dark base layers. They can help you create more realistic and dynamic shadow effects or add depth and texture to an image.

    • Darken. Preserves the darkest colors between the blend layer and the base layer. Compares the color values of overlapping pixels in the two layers and keeps the darker value. This can make an image appear darker when using a color, photo, or gradient overlay. Darken can also make whites transparent, making them invisible in the image.
    • Multiply. Retains only the darker colors from the blend layer and reduces the opacity of lighter colors to create a darker composite image. The resulting color is always darker, except where it is pure white.
      Multiplying with black as the blend color will result in black, while multiplying with white will leave the image unchanged.
    • Color Burn. Darkens the base layer of an image using colors from the blend layer, increasing contrast between the two. Blending with white results in no change.

    Lighter

    These blend modes are useful for enhancing light colors in your images.

    • Lighten. Compares the base and blending layer colors and keeps the lighter color.
    • Screen. Retains only the white and lighter colors from the blend layer while reducing the opacity of black or dark colors.
      Any area of the layer that is pure black will become transparent. Areas that are pure white will be unchanged, and shades of gray between pure black and pure white will become lighter.
    • Color Dodge. Uses the colors from the blend layer to lighten the base layer, which reduces the contrast between the two---the brighter the top layer, the more its color impacts the bottom layer. Blending any color with white results in white, while blending with black leaves the image unchanged.

    Contrast

    Contrast blend modes focus on how the base and blend layers interact with each other. They are useful for adding depth to your images.

    • Overlay. Both lightens and darkens an image at the same time and increases contrast. Works like Multiply if the base layer is darker, or like Screen if it’s lighter.
    • Soft Light. Lightens or darkens colors based on the brightness of the blend color.
    • Hard Light. Combines the brightness values of the top layer with the Multiply and Screen blend modes to impact the interaction between the blend layer and the base layer.

    Color

    These blend modes are useful for photo editing.

    • Hue. Replaces the base color’s hue value with the blend color’s hue value, while maintaining the base color’s saturation and brightness. This mode can only be used on images with color in them, not black and white images.

    • Saturation. Uses the blend layer’s saturation levels and keeps the hue and brightness of the base layer.

    • Color. Uses the blend layer’s hue and saturation and keeps the brightness of the base layer.

    • Luminosity. Uses the base layer’s brightness while maintaining the hue and saturation of the base layer. This creates the inverse effect of the Color blend mode.

    Comparative

    Comparative blend modes invert white or light colors. They are useful for creating subtle layered effects or inverting colors.

    • Difference. Subtracts the blend color from the base color, or vice versa, depending on which is brighter. If two pixels are identical, the result will be black.
  • Exclusion. Behaves like Difference, but with less contrast between the layers as it does not invert mid-tones.

Blurring​

Blur options soften an image or video and reduce noise. There are four blur options, each with related options that you can adjust.

  • Gaussian Blur. Blurs the whole image with the specified intensity from 0 to 100. The default is 50.

  • Linear Blur. Blurs the specified focal strip in an image with the specified intensity from 0 to 100. The default is 30.

    • Intensity
    • Point 1 – X
    • Point 2 – X
    • Point 1 – YPoint 2 - Y

  • Mirrored Blur. Blur a mirrored image.

    • Intensity
    • Size of Gradient
    • Size of non-blurred Area
    • Point 1 – X
    • Point 2 – X
    • Point 1 – Y
    • Point 2 - Y

  • Radial Blur. Creates a circular motion blur effect, giving the impression that the image is rotating around its central point.

    • Intensity
    • Size of Gradient
    • Size of non-blurred Area
    • Point X
    • Point Y
