What does the Fog effect change?

Fog layers the named weather element with depth-aware opacity, scale, and light response, adding atmosphere while leaving important subjects readable. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Fog?

Choose Fog 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.
