What does the Censor Bar effect change?

Censor Bar places the image inside a structured edge, frame, or dimensional treatment, adding separation and presentation detail without permanently cropping the source. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Censor Bar?

Choose Censor Bar for social-media carousels and covers, album art and magazine-style layouts, or framed portraits prepared for sharing when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains sources with essential content at every edge, unreadably small text, or mixed images whose aspect ratios cannot support the selected layout.
