What does the Studio Softbox effect change?

Studio Softbox reshapes the image's exposure and contrast curve, changing dark, middle, and bright regions deliberately instead of applying one uniform brightness offset. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Studio Softbox?

Choose Studio Softbox for product photos that need controlled highlight definition, interiors with bright windows, or night scenes that need readable detail when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains heavily clipped highlights, crushed source files, or flat illustrations that contain little recoverable tonal information.
