What does the Canvas Texture effect change?

Canvas Texture blends a tactile surface response over the photograph, using tonal interaction so the material reads through both light and dark image regions. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Canvas Texture?

Choose Canvas Texture for product scenes that need environmental depth, landscapes that need visible weather, or seasonal campaign imagery when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains crowded frames, critical documentary images, or sources whose existing weather and light direction contradict the added layer.
