Morning Filter
Give your photos the clean, fresh look of morning light. The Morning filter slightly cools the white balance, brightens the image, and adds a gentle lift to contrast and saturation for a crisp start-of-day feel. Control the effect with a single intensity slider.
Blue Hour Filter
Turn any photo into a deep blue twilight scene. The Blue Hour filter cools the white balance, lowers exposure, pushes the image toward rich blues, and adds a soft vignette to recreate the moody light just after sunset. Adjust it with one intensity slider.
