WORK IN PROGRESS

Experimental software

Lens Debaser is under active development. Features, controls, presets, results, compatibility and performance may change without notice. Parts of the plugin may break, behave unexpectedly, or not work entirely as described in this guide.

Lens Debaser is not a scientific ray tracer. It uses perceptually useful approximations of lens effects rather than attempting mathematically exact optical simulation. The aim is to produce convincing, controllable results while keeping render times practical for post-production and color-grading workflows.

The software and this guide are provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the authors and contributors accept no liability for loss, damage, interrupted work, corrupted projects, lost media or any other consequence arising from installation or use. Test the plugin on copies of important projects and media.

INSTALLATION

Install the compiled plug-in

The release package contains the ready-built Apple Silicon OpenFX plug-in, its Metal processing library, factory presets and an installer. Xcode and developer tools are not required.

Unpack the release
Double-click the downloaded Lens Debaser ZIP file to extract its folder.

Quit Resolve
Fully quit DaVinci Resolve before installing or replacing the plug-in.

Run the installer
Double-click Install Lens Debaser.command and enter the Mac administrator password when requested. If macOS blocks it, Control-click the installer, choose Open, then confirm.

Restart Resolve
Open Resolve and find Lens Debaser in the OpenFX effects library. The installer also copies the included factory presets into the Lens Debaser preset folder.

Requirements: an Apple Silicon Mac and DaVinci Resolve or DaVinci Resolve Studio. Installing a newer release automatically saves the previous plug-in bundle in /Library/Application Support/Lens Debaser/Backups.

QUICK START

Match the input
Choose the Input Working Space that matches the image entering the node.

Choose a starting point
Load a preset or begin with Clean Slate, then adjust the controls for the shot.

Optional: set the final strength
Use Blend when you want to mix the complete Lens Debaser result with the original image.

ROOT CONTROL GROUP

Setup

Choose presets, define input interpretation, and apply broad capture and look behavior.

Setup / CONTROL GROUP

Presets

Load, select and save Lens Debaser presets.

Load opens a .ldbpreset file and adds the presets in its folder to the Preset menu. Choose a name from the menu to apply it. Save writes the visible lens settings to a new .ldbpreset file.

Processing

Define the color encoding entering the node and temporarily inspect individual processing stages.

Input Working Space tells Lens Debaser how to decode the incoming RGB values. The plugin converts that input to linear AP1, performs its optical processing there, then returns the result to the selected working space so it remains correctly placed in the Resolve color pipeline. Choose the space of the image entering this node—not the timeline or delivery space unless they are also the node input. A wrong selection changes luminance, color, thresholds and therefore the behavior of bloom, flare, transmission and other effects. Diagnostic View temporarily replaces the normal result with an analysis image; it does not change the preset or create a finishing look. Keep Diagnostic View set to Off for normal work.

PROCESSING

Diagnostic Views

Diagnostic View temporarily replaces the normal image with information that helps identify and adjust individual parts of the effect.

View	What it shows
Off	The normal Lens Debaser result.
Difference (Amplified)	The amplified difference between the processed result and the source, centered on middle grey. Neutral grey means no change; brighter, darker or colored areas show where the plugin changes the image.
Scatter Only	Only the combined Bloom, Glare, Spherical Halo and Anamorphic Flare contribution, amplified for inspection. A black image means those controls are producing no scatter energy on the current frame.
Direct Optics Only	The direct optical result—including geometry, field, detail, chromatic, transmission and aperture processing—without Bloom, Glare, Spherical Halo or Anamorphic Flare added.
Depth Input	The normalized depth map Lens Debaser is using after Depth Interpretation and the Input Near/Input Far remap. Black represents 0 and white represents 1.
Defocus Amount	A grayscale view of distance from Focus Depth after the current depth response. Dark areas are closer to the focus plane; bright areas receive more defocus.
Depth Rejection	A grayscale view of depth boundaries protected from cross-layer scatter. Brighter areas show stronger sample rejection caused by Depth Edge Protection.

Diagnostic View changes only the displayed output. It does not alter the current preset or the stored lens controls.

Setup / CONTROL GROUP

Capture

Make compatible lens effects respond together to focal length, aperture, focus distance and capture format.

Capture does not add a visible effect by itself. Instead, it modifies compatible controls that are already active elsewhere in Lens Debaser. A wider field of view—produced by a shorter focal length or a larger capture gate—strengthens off-axis effects such as distortion, lateral color fringing, edge softness, field curvature, directional smear and natural falloff. A larger aperture, shown by a smaller f-number, strengthens pupil-related effects such as coma, optical vignetting, aperture-shaped defocus and anamorphic flare. Closer focus strengthens spherical softness, aperture-shaped defocus and longitudinal focus color. Capture Influence sets how strongly these relationships affect the active controls; at zero, the focal length, aperture, focus distance and gate settings make no change.

Setup / CONTROL GROUP

Look

Quickly steer the image toward a broad lens character before fine-tuning individual controls.

Character adds a restrained mix of softness, edge color, falloff and highlight response. Vintage Bias produces a warmer, softer and less corrected image; Vintage Caricature pushes that treatment further. Exotic Bias favors irregular distortion, color separation and asymmetry. Classic 2x Anamorphic Bias introduces oval bokeh, cylindrical edge behavior and horizontal flare character. The biases can be combined, and Look Influence controls their overall strength.

ROOT CONTROL GROUP

Optics

Shape geometry, the optical field, focus transfer, detail, chromatic, anamorphic, refractive and prism behavior.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Geometry

Model conventional distortion and gradual optical edge deformation around an adjustable center.

Primary Distortion handles the broad bend, Secondary adds higher-order curvature, and Moustache creates a direction-changing wave. Field-Gated Geometry applies the Field Shape envelope to geometry; Peripheral Stretch adds smooth edge magnification and Peripheral Warp adds nonuniform bending rather than another barrel-distortion term.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Field Shape

Choose where edge-dependent lens effects begin and how they spread across the frame.

Field Center moves the best-corrected area. Field Aspect and Rotation stretch and turn the affected region, while Swirl rotates image structure around it. Field Onset sets how much of the center remains protected; Field Falloff controls whether the transition toward the edges is gradual or concentrated. This group shapes other field-dependent effects and therefore needs one of them active to become visible.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Focus & Field

Keep one area relatively clear while focus and detail become less uniform toward the edges.

Corner Detail Loss softens outer detail. Field Curvature makes the apparent focus plane bow across the frame. Astigmatism changes radial and circular detail differently, while Radial and Tangential Smear pull soft detail in those respective directions. Field Shape determines where these changes begin.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Detail Transfer

Change the texture and crispness of the image at broad, fine and directional scales.

Microcontrast changes local separation in medium-sized detail. Fine Detail changes smaller texture. Edge Falloff lets detail weaken away from the center. Sagittal and Tangential Detail independently affect lines running toward the image center and lines running around it, while Detail Scale chooses the size of structure being affected.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Chromatic Aberration

Add lateral edge separation and depth-sensitive longitudinal color fringing.

Red and Blue Fringing respond most visibly to high-contrast edges and increase away from the optical center. Chromatic Onset at −1 follows the shared Field envelope; values from 0 upward enable an independent onset and falloff. Longitudinal Amount and Radius tint the soft side of focus transitions with the selected near/far colors; fine edges, specular detail and a depth map make this response easiest to see.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Anamorphic

Create the stretched geometry, edge color and horizontal flare behavior associated with anamorphic lenses.

Anamorphic Field controls the overall cylindrical character. Distortion bends geometry differently across the horizontal and vertical axes, while Aberration adds directionally stretched color separation. Flare Amount, Radius and Thickness create the main horizontal streak; Bands and Secondary Streak add layered structure. Vertical Rays create a cross-like highlight response, and Ghost controls add a sequence of softer colored reflections across the frame. Threshold determines which highlights are bright enough to produce these effects.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Refractive Irregularity

Add gentle waves, local stretching and color shifts that suggest uneven or stressed glass.

Amount controls the strength and Scale controls the size of the warped regions. Edge Bias confines more of the effect to the outer frame. Directionality, Direction and Rotation stretch and orient the pattern. Irregular Dispersion adds a small color split to the warped detail, and Seed chooses another repeatable pattern.

Optics / CONTROL GROUP

Prism Refraction

Create a smooth directional bend and color split entering from one side of the frame.

Amount controls the displacement, Direction chooses the affected edge and the direction of the bend, and Dispersion separates color along that same optical path. Edge Bias moves the transition toward or away from the selected edge, while Softness controls how gradually the prism response blends into the unaffected image.

ROOT CONTROL GROUP

Pupil & Vignette

Control the aperture footprint, illumination falloff and the lens image-circle boundary.

Pupil & Vignette / CONTROL GROUP

Aperture

Shape the appearance of defocused highlights and peripheral bokeh.

Response controls how strongly the selected aperture shape replaces ordinary blur, and Radius sets the bokeh size. Shape, blade controls, rotation, softness and aspect define the highlight silhouette. Cat-Eye compresses bokeh near the frame edge; Bokeh Swirl turns it around the Field Center. Pupil Shift and Clipping make edge bokeh close unevenly, while Rim Weight creates a brighter outer ring. These controls are easiest to judge on small background lights or specular highlights that are out of focus.

Pupil & Vignette / CONTROL GROUP

Vignette

Combine three distinct forms of edge attenuation.

Natural is smooth illumination falloff, Optical is pupil/field shading, and Mechanical is a harder obstruction-like cutoff.

Image Circle

Define the lens-coverage boundary used by Mechanical Vignette.

Size controls coverage, Aspect makes it elliptical and Softness controls the boundary transition. These controls have no visible effect while Mechanical Vignette is zero.

ROOT CONTROL GROUP

Light

Model highlight bloom, glare, spherical halos and the tonal or color response of glass transmission.

Light / CONTROL GROUP

Bloom

Spread highlight energy into a soft luminous neighborhood.

Amount is energy, Threshold chooses qualifying scene-linear highlights, Radius sets reach, and Bloom Stretch makes the spread directional. Lamps, reflections, bright windows and overexposed edges produce the clearest response; a low-dynamic-range or dim input may show little change until Threshold is lowered.

Illustrated Lens Debaser Light and Bloom control layout

Light / CONTROL GROUP

Glare & Halo

Build veiling glare and spherical-aberration halos.

Glare is broad colored scatter and Spherical Halo is a smoother highlight envelope. Both react primarily around sufficiently bright image structure, so lamps, reflections and bright windows are the best test subjects. They are distinct from Bloom and from the asymmetric Coma controls in Advanced.

Light / CONTROL GROUP

Transmission

Simulate color and tonal behavior caused by glass and coatings.

Transmission Amount mixes the selected transmission color. Density, Contrast and Highlight Softness shape light passage without requiring bloom or glare.

Light / CONTROL GROUP

Highlight Response

Control how smoothly bright areas begin to produce glow, flare and other highlight effects.

Highlight Knee changes the transition around the thresholds used by Bloom, Glare, Spherical Halo, Coma and Anamorphic Flare. A harder knee limits the response more tightly to the brightest values; a softer knee brings surrounding highlight detail into the effect more gradually. It has no visible result until at least one of those highlight effects is active.

ROOT CONTROL GROUP

Advanced

Refine off-axis behavior, repeatable lens variation, element wear, internal contamination and depth-aware processing.

Advanced / CONTROL GROUP

Off-Axis Character

Create asymmetric, field-dependent highlight tails.

Coma sets tail strength and direction; its sign swaps orientation. Coma Threshold is the scene-linear highlight level at which the response begins. The response is clearest on isolated bright points away from the Field Center and may be inconspicuous on evenly lit or low-contrast material.

Advanced / CONTROL GROUP

Variation

Make an otherwise clean lens treatment feel less perfectly centered and manufactured.

Variation Amount controls the overall strength. Field Asymmetry shifts edge behavior, Pupil Irregularity changes bokeh, Chromatic Asymmetry makes color fringing less even, and Transmission Unevenness introduces subtle tonal variation. Seed chooses another repeatable version. These controls vary effects that are already active, so a compatible field, aperture, chromatic or transmission setting is required.

Advanced / CONTROL GROUP

Front Element Wear

Add the softened contrast, flare and fixed marks associated with a worn front element.

Cleaning Haze lowers contrast around light. Cleaning Marks and Deep Scratches become most visible when bright windows or practicals illuminate them; Direction and Mark Scale set their orientation and size. Coating Wear introduces patchy shifts in contrast, color and flare. Damage Seed chooses another repeatable wear pattern.

See it in action ↓

Advanced / CONTROL GROUP

Internal Element Contamination

Introduce broad cloudy density, smearing and veiling from contamination inside the lens.

Amount controls the overall visibility and Size sets the scale of the cloudy regions. Smear stretches them, Scatter increases localized glow and loss of contrast, Softness smooths their boundaries, and Complexity adds overlapping large-scale variation. Bright windows and practical lights make the scatter easiest to see. Seed chooses another repeatable pattern.

Depth Input

Use a depth map to place focus and control depth-aware optical effects.

Lens Debaser reads a grayscale depth image through its Second RGB/Depth Map input. The depth signal controls where enabled focus, aperture, halo and other depth-aware responses appear; it does not create an optical look until compatible effects are active.

Using a depth map on the Color page

Create or supply a grayscale depth map and connect its RGB output to Lens Debaser’s Second RGB/Depth Map input.
Choose one of the six Depth Interpretation models to match how the map stores distance:
- Depth-Free does not use the external depth input. Lens Debaser retains its image- and field-based focus approximation.
- Near White is for normalized maps in which lighter values are closer and darker values are farther away.
- Near Black is for normalized maps in which darker values are closer and lighter values are farther away.
- Linear Camera Z is for camera-space distance that increases linearly from the near range toward the far range.
- Inverse Z / Disparity is for reciprocal-depth or disparity maps, where nearby subjects have larger values. Lens Debaser reverses this relationship into its common near-to-far working direction.
- Logarithmic Z is for depth distributed logarithmically, providing finer separation through the near range while compressing more distant values.
Use Input Near and Input Far to fit the useful range of the incoming map. This is especially helpful when the map occupies only a narrow part of the available black-to-white range.
Select Diagnostic View → Depth Input to verify the interpreted and remapped depth signal, then return Diagnostic View to Off for normal processing.
Move Focus Depth to place the in-focus plane. Defocus Onset controls how far depth must move away from that plane before the enabled effect begins; Defocus Falloff controls how gradually it reaches full strength.
Increase Depth Edge Protection when foreground and background colors contaminate one another across depth boundaries. Use Depth Edge Softness to keep that protection from producing an unnaturally hard transition.
Enable at least one compatible optical response. If none is active, changing the depth controls may produce no visible result.

Depth-aware responses in this build

Aperture Response and bokeh reconstruction: depth controls the defocus radius around Focus Depth. The active aperture shape, Cat-Eye, Bokeh Swirl, Pupil Shift, Pupil Clipping and Pupil Rim Weight are carried into that depth-positioned bokeh.
Longitudinal chromatic aberration: depth chooses the near- or far-focus color and controls how strongly that focus color appears away from the focus plane.
Spherical Halo: halo strength follows distance from Focus Depth and respects protected depth boundaries.
Anamorphic flare, diffraction and reflection structure: depth affects source eligibility and prevents the reconstructed flare response from freely crossing unrelated depth layers.
Bloom and Glare: these remain driven by qualifying highlights, while the depth map protects foreground/background boundaries from inappropriate cross-layer spill.
Front Element Wear scatter and Internal Element Contamination scatter: their diffused-light components share the protected optical-scatter path. The fixed wear or contamination pattern itself is not repositioned by depth.

Not depth-aware: geometry, lateral chromatic aberration, vignette, transmission, detail transfer, field shape, refractive irregularity and prism refraction remain image- or field-based. Depth Input also provides the Depth Input, Defocus Amount and Depth Rejection diagnostic views for checking the map and its influence.

DEMONSTRATIONS

Explore individual control groups

The Demonstrations folder contains one moderate educational preset per major control group or required interaction. Each is tuned as a usable starting point while remaining clear enough to explain the control; its note identifies the input features or dependencies needed to reveal the response.

Capture — Supplies peripheral detail loss, field curvature, longitudinal focus color and natural vignetting, then enables Capture Influence. Those four effects form the visible base image; the Capture settings coordinate their strength according to the simulated focal length, aperture, focus distance and capture gate.
Look — Coordinates several existing optical responses so each broad Look bias is visibly educational rather than neutral on its own.
Field-Gated Geometry — Uses conventional distortion plus the Field envelope; straight architectural lines and grids reveal the protected center and gradual edge onset.
Field Shape — Activates an elliptical, rotated and offset optical field plus its Onset/Falloff envelope; compatible focus and chromatic effects make every field control visible.
Focus & Field — Combines corner detail loss, field curvature, astigmatism and directional smears while retaining a clearer region around the Field Center.
Detail Transfer — Demonstrates broad microcontrast, fine-detail transfer, edge falloff and sagittal/tangential differences; textured fabric, foliage and fine line charts are suitable inputs.
Chromatic Aberration — Combines lateral and longitudinal chromatic response; use high-contrast edges and fine bright detail for the clearest color separation.
Anamorphic — Combines anamorphic distortion, aberration and streak flare. Geometry is visible on lines; flare requires highlights above Flare Threshold.
Aperture — Uses modest aperture reconstruction, a shaped pupil, Cat-Eye and Bokeh Swirl plus an off-axis focus field. Small bright points reveal the pupil while the field envelope preserves a usable centre.
Vignette — Combines natural, optical and mechanical edge attenuation; a flat or evenly exposed image makes their different falloffs easiest to compare.
Image Circle — Enables Mechanical Vignette because Image Circle Size, Aspect and Softness have no visible effect without it.
Bloom — Lowers Bloom Threshold and spreads qualifying highlights. Use lamps, reflections, bright windows or overexposed edges.
Glare & Halo — Enables glare and spherical halo with highlight-friendly settings. It requires strong highlights, ideally isolated against darker surroundings.
Transmission — Demonstrates glass color, density, contrast and highlight compression across the whole tonal range; include neutral greys, skin and bright values.
Highlight Response — Enables several highlight effects so Highlight Knee visibly reshapes their threshold transitions. Use bright practicals, reflections or windows.
Coma — Uses isolated bright points away from Field Center to expose asymmetric off-axis tails and their threshold.
Variation — Enables field, pupil, chromatic and transmission base effects before varying them, so the deterministic Seed has compatible responses to modify.
Depth Input — Requires a depth map connected to the Second RGB/Depth Map input. It enables neutral depth-aware aperture and halo responses and assumes Near Black interpretation.
Blend — Mixes a moderate compound optical treatment to demonstrate the final result at 100% effect and 50% Blend.
Front Element Wear — Uses strong highlights and ordinary detail to expose cleaning haze, fixed marks, scratches and patchy coating wear.
Refractive Irregularity — Uses a grid and fine contrast to reveal stable local magnification waves and irregular dispersion without conventional distortion.
Peripheral Stretch — Isolates smooth radial magnification that increases gradually toward the edge while preserving the center.
Peripheral Warp — Isolates nonuniform optical edge bending under the shared Field envelope.
Internal Element Contamination — Uses broad seeded contamination clouds to demonstrate localized contrast loss and illumination-driven veiling; bright windows and practicals reveal Scatter most clearly.
Bokeh Swirl — Uses off-axis point highlights and a shaped field to isolate continuous tangential pupil deformation without replacing the underlying pupil.
Petzval Field — Combines field curvature, swirl, oval pupil response and a protected portrait centre; use a subject against distributed background lights.
Structured Anamorphic Flare — Uses one compact bright source on a dark frame to expose the continuous core, bands, secondary streak and decaying internal-reflection train.
Diffraction Rays — Uses compact clipped highlights on a dark scene to reveal smooth full-resolution vertical diffraction without segmented steps.
Pupil Decenter & Clipping — Uses off-axis point highlights to show radial pupil shift and asymmetric barrel clipping independently of generic blur.
Bubble Rim Bokeh — Uses sparse defocused points to show the transition between a filled pupil and a brighter rim without retaining a sharp source core.

Capture

Reference ↑

Demo Capture supplies four direct image effects: peripheral detail loss, field curvature, longitudinal focus color and natural vignetting. Capture then coordinates their strength from the simulated shooting setup. Its 24 mm focal length on a Super 35 gate produces a sufficiently wide field of view to strengthen off-axis softness, curvature and falloff; its f/1.6 aperture and 90 cm focus distance strengthen the defocus and longitudinal color response. The applied image therefore shows the preset's four effects after Capture has modified them—not an effect created by Capture alone.

CINEMATIC LENSES

Default character presets

The current library contains 104 factory presets: 31 demonstrations and 73 cinematic-lens presets.

Most cinematic families provide independently authored Subtle, Medium and Caricature observations. Subtle introduces the family with a restrained change, Medium is a clearly visible starting point, and Caricature exposes the defining signature strongly. Bodycam Edge Stress remains a single signature preset. Presets containing aperture reconstruction use controlled values and combine them with a clearer focus region; a connected depth map gives direct control over the in-focus plane.

Family	Character and suitable input
Golden Portrait Prime	Warm dimensional portrait rendering with a protected center, curved edge falloff and highlight-sensitive glare.
Silver Contrast Prime	Cooler, lower-contrast still-glass character with organic edge loss and restrained axial color.
Uncoated Newsreel	Warm uncoated transmission, reduced contrast, haze, bloom and glare that respond strongly to windows and practicals.
Breathing Documentary Zoom	Soft vintage zoom character with gradual edge geometry, uneven field response and chromatic texture.
Rotating Bokeh Portrait	Tangentially stretched peripheral bokeh around a usable portrait center; small bright background points reveal it best.
Petzval Oval Portrait	Warm oval-pupil portrait response with curved focus, cat-eye deformation and asymmetric historical character.
Bubble Bokeh Triplet	Firm round defocus highlights, curved edge focus and visible longitudinal color around bright background points.
Pearlescent Diffusion	Dreamy soft-focus response with spherical halo, bloom, glare and reduced microcontrast while retaining a usable center.
Electric Blue Scope	Two-times anamorphic field with oval bokeh, edge aberration and strong blue streak response above the flare threshold.
Honeyed Compact Scope	Warm compact anamorphic character with elliptical falloff, amber streaks and restrained edge softness.
Bent Glass Scope	Pronounced off-axis anamorphic deformation, refractive irregularity, directional focus loss and chromatic separation.
Neon Radiance Prime	Clean center with conspicuous colored highlight radiance; lamps, signs, reflections and windows drive the effect.
Nocturnal Cat-Eye	Strong off-axis pupil deformation, curved focus, coma and axial color; requires isolated peripheral highlights.
Stressed Ultra Wide	Gradual peripheral stretch and warp, complex moustache geometry and heavy edge chromatic aberration.
Rehoused Still Glass	Repeatable decentering, refractive unevenness and coating wear with a restrained photographic base.
C-Mount CCTV	Small-image-circle coverage, hard mechanical vignette, heavy edge softness, coma and chromatic stress.
Close Focus Macro	Close-focus spherical and longitudinal aberration with a deliberately retained in-focus region.
Microscope Objective	Tight central correction surrounded by rapid field curvature, edge softness and chromatic separation.
Tilted Freelens	Strong asymmetric focus plane, directional smear and irregular off-axis rendering.
Improvised Projector Lens	Unconventional pupil, glow, aberration and refractive behavior inspired by adapted projection optics.
Bodycam Edge Stress	Single signature preset with hard image-circle coverage, spherical edge defocus, gradual edge CA and refractive distortion.
Hawk V-Lite Vintage '74	Inspired by an anamorphic profile with oval off-axis bokeh, vintage field softness, broad blue flare and a structured reflection train.
Cooke Anamorphic /i Special Flare	Inspired by an anamorphic profile with blue-cyan streaks, smooth vertical diffraction, controlled wash and focal-length-aware flare structure.
Decentered Dream Glass	Creative compound optic combining pupil decentering, clipping, field asymmetry, refractive irregularity and soft highlight response.
Edge Prism Glass	Hand-held linear-prism character with a smooth one-sided bend, controlled spectral separation and softly integrated edge stress.

PRACTICAL NOTES

Performance and troubleshooting

Platform compatibility: Lens Debaser is an Apple Silicon and Metal-only OpenFX plug-in. It requires an Apple Silicon Mac and is not available for Intel Macs, Windows, Linux, CUDA or OpenCL.
Aperture processing: larger Response Radius settings and depth-aware aperture processing require more processing time.
Bloom, glare and anamorphic flare: these effects appear only where image brightness crosses their Threshold settings. Lower the threshold if an expected lamp, reflection or window produces no response. Rays and reflections remain smooth at full output resolution.
Response controls: Field Shape determines where active edge effects develop, Highlight Response changes how enabled glow and flare effects build around bright values, and Depth Input controls how enabled effects respond to focus distance and depth boundaries.
Variation: the same Seed produces the same variation pattern.
Difference diagnostic: this view amplifies changes between the original and processed images so subtle effects are easier to see.
Overall strength: use Blend to reduce or increase the complete effect.
