Shape the atmosphere without changing your composition.
Vignette
Darken or lighten the edges to guide attention toward the center. This is the edge treatment sometimes called “vintage” in earlier conversations.
Fade
Soften deep blacks and compress tonal contrast for a quieter, print-like finish. Fade changes the tonal character rather than simply brightening the whole photograph.
Bloom
Spread a soft glow from brighter areas. Bloom makes luminous surfaces feel more expansive while leaving the composition in place.
Halation
Add a warm glow around bright transitions. BLUEGRADE uses a digital highlight treatment inspired by the warm fringe associated with some photographic film.
Grain
Add fine texture across the photograph. Grain can join the tones of an image and make a polished digital surface feel more tactile.
