Image & post effects

The Image tab is the darkroom: tone mapping, grade, and a full post-effects chain — all live in the viewport and identical in exports.

Tone & color

Tone mapping — ACES (the cinematic default), AgX, Neutral, Linear, Reinhard, Cineon. The active map is shown in the top bar; ACES is the catalog look.
Exposure · Saturation · Contrast — the master grade.
Temperature · Tint — white balance; warm the golds or neutralize a cool HDRI.

ACES vs AgX vs Neutral on the same scene.

Sparkle & glow

Bloom & glow — strength, radius, threshold for the highlight halo, plus Lens softness.
Sparkle glints — the star-shaped flashes on the brightest facet hits: count, length, intensity. This is the "diamond commercial" twinkle.
Halation — the warm film-style bleed around bright highlights.

Sparkle glints igniting on facet hits as the piece turns.

Detail

Sharpen — crispness for catalog output; subtle values read as focus, not crunch.
Film grain — amount and scale, for editorial texture.
Chromatic aberration — lens fringing, off by default.

Light response

Screen-space reflections (SSR) — parts reflecting each other and the plate.
Ambient occlusion — contact shading in crevices: radius, near, far.
Screen-space GI — soft indirect bounce light, on by default.
Contact shadow — an extra grounding shadow at the floor line.

Color shaping

Curves — a full curve editor (master + per-channel) for the final contrast signature.
Selective color — pick a hue band and shift its hue/saturation/lightness alone. Deepen just the sapphire, warm just the gold.
Color LUT — import a .cube LUT (from your colorist or preset packs) with Intensity, plus quick Warmth and Print fade dials.

Selective color: saturating only the blue band — the metal never moves.

Framing effects

Vignette — strength, radius, softness.
Depth of field — real lens blur with strength, blur radius, and focus size. Pair with a long lens for macro shots.
Outline — a stylized contour pass (strength, thickness, glow) for technical or graphic looks.

Where it applies

Everything here is part of the rendered image: stills, video, batch exports, and the catalog set all carry the exact grade you see. Save the whole recipe as a render template (Drive) to re-apply a house style to any scene in one click.
