What does the Split Diopter effect change?

Split Diopter 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 Split Diopter?

Choose Split Diopter for social series that need consistent camera character, portrait sessions that need an analog mood, or album covers and editorial stories 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.
