What does the Glass Tile effect change?

Glass Tile groups local pixels into a stylized surface treatment, simplifying tone or texture while retaining enough edge information for the subject to remain recognizable. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Glass Tile?

Choose Glass Tile for music artwork and event posters, experimental portraits, or editorial layouts with digital tension when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains legal documents, small typography, group portraits, or images whose important details already sit close to the frame edge.
