What does the Volumetric Fog effect change?

Volumetric Fog layers the named weather element with depth-aware opacity, scale, and light response, adding atmosphere while leaving important subjects readable. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Volumetric Fog?

Choose Volumetric Fog for fantasy artwork and book covers, music visuals with practical light texture, or cinematic portraits when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure.
