Paint your photos with sunset colors. The Sunset filter warms the image, split-tones highlights toward orange and shadows toward magenta and purple, boosts saturation, and adds a vignette for a dramatic evening sky look. Control the effect with a single intensity slider.

Golden Hour Filter

Bathe your photos in warm, amber golden hour light. This filter warms the white balance, shifts colors toward gold, boosts saturation, and adds a soft glow and vignette to recreate the magic hour before sunset. 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.

Shadow Tint

This tool applies a selective chroma shift to shadow areas of an image, allowing you to add color offset (shifts in red and blue channels) specifically to the darker regions. Use it to create stylized color grading effects or enhance shadow details with custom color adjustments while preserving the highlights and midtones.

Duotone Effect

Map image shadows and highlights to two custom colors with contrast-boosted lightness curves for rich, professional color grading.

Vignette

The Vignette tool subtly draws focus to the subject by darkening or lightening the edges of an image. Adjust the Radius to control how far the vignette extends toward the center, Softness to define how gradually it blends into the image, and Strength to set the intensity of the effect. These controls allow precise, non-destructive shaping of visual emphasis and mood.
