What does the Star Field effect change?

Star Field distributes its decorative particles or motifs across the frame with varied size, opacity, and placement, keeping the source photo as the primary composition. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Star Field?

Choose Star Field for music visuals with practical light texture, cinematic portraits, or fantasy artwork and book covers 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.
