What does the Dream Blur effect change?

Dream Blur diffuses bright detail into a controlled soft halo, blending the glow with a sharper base so highlights feel luminous rather than simply unfocused. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Dream Blur?

Choose Dream Blur for motion-led poster graphics, miniature and tilt-shift scenes, or portraits with distracting backgrounds when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains soft source files, intricate boundary detail, or text-heavy images where additional blur would reduce readability.
