What does the Ground Fog effect change?

Ground 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 Ground Fog?

Choose Ground Fog for seasonal campaign imagery, product scenes that need environmental depth, or landscapes that need visible weather 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.
