What does the Matcha Wash effect change?

Matcha Wash lays a matcha tint through neutrals and highlights, with luminance-aware blending that keeps local contrast and photographic detail visible. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Matcha Wash?

Choose Matcha Wash for landscapes with clear shadow and highlight separation, travel photographs with mixed colors, or album artwork and editorial covers when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains severely clipped channels, color-critical documentation, or images where an exact product color must remain unchanged.
