BLUEGRADE

VHS

Combine subtle color displacement, directional softness and scanlines for a tape-inspired still-image effect.

When to use it

Night scenes, casual portraits and graphic compositions suit its imperfect character.

How to control it

Amount blends the result. Size and Rotation shape the displacement and softness.

A starting approach

Keep the amount low enough to retain the subject. This is a still-photo treatment; it does not create an animated tape recording.

Combine with intention

Choose one main direction first. Compare with the effect reduced or off before adding another treatment. Check the exported photograph as well as the preview.
