What does the Macro Lens effect change?

Macro Lens simulates the named optical behavior through geometry, blur, dispersion, and edge falloff, while keeping the effect adjustable over the original frame. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Macro Lens?

Choose Macro Lens for nightlife and direct-flash images, family photographs styled as physical prints, or street and travel photography when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains technical records, already damaged scans, or tiny compressed files where added grain and optical texture can hide essential detail.
