This tool generates procedural edge light and lens flare effects in your browser. It applies a light bloom effect over the image while maintaining structural detail. The effect builds up through multiple layers, combining a soft wash of color with customizable film grain.
Procedural light generation
Instead of applying static overlay images, the tool renders gradients and flares mathematically. This allows you to regenerate the position and shape of the leak without changing the base aesthetic. You can use it to create bloom glow around lights in my photo by adjusting the intensity slider to control the highlight expansion.
Film grain integration
Light leaks often look artificial if applied over a clean digital image. The film finish setting blends grain, dust, and a soft vignette into both the original image and the leak layers. This ties the added color wash to the underlying photo structure for a cohesive analog texture.
Tone and exposure handling
The effect operates through additive blending. This helps adjust exposure online to balance light and shadow without crushing the midtones.
