The Bloom effect creates a soft glow around bright areas in your image, simulating the way bright light appears to bleed beyond its boundaries in photography.
How it works
Bloom works by isolating the brightest parts of an image using a threshold, then blurring these bright areas and adding them back to the original image. The effect uses multiple blur passes at different resolutions to create a more realistic glow that extends further from bright areas.
Use cases
- Creating light bloom around bright objects
- Adding a dreamy or ethereal quality to scenes
