What does the Blue Tone effect change?

Blue Tone builds a clean blue and cool neutral grade across shadows and midtones, while preserving highlight separation and the recognizable structure of the original photo. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Blue Tone?

Choose Blue Tone for product images that need a unified palette, social posts prepared as a coordinated series, or portrait color grading when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains severely clipped channels, color-critical documentation, or images where an exact product color must remain unchanged.
