What does the Glow Light effect change?

Glow Light builds light from bright image regions with controlled spread and falloff, adding visible atmosphere without replacing the underlying subject detail. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Glow Light?

Choose Glow Light for interiors with bright windows, night scenes that need readable detail, or product photos that need controlled highlight definition when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains heavily clipped highlights, crushed source files, or flat illustrations that contain little recoverable tonal information.
