The Chroma Shift effect creates dynamic, animated color shifts that transform your image with flowing, psychedelic color patterns.

How it works

Chroma Shift analyzes the brightness values of your image and uses them as a modulator for a time-based color transformation. The effect applies a shifting color palette that changes over time, creating a flowing, animated color effect while preserving the original luminance patterns and details of your image.

The effect includes several built-in color palettes and allows for posterization (reducing the number of color levels) to create more stylized looks.

Use cases

Chroma Shift is particularly effective for:

  • Creating psychedelic or trippy visual effects
  • Generating abstract, colorful backgrounds
