Orton Effect Tool

The Orton Effect allows enhancements to an image that includes glow and focus which produces photos that are sharp and blurry at the same time. This is a great way to add a unique look to your photos.  While it works great on portraits, you can absolutely use it on most photos.

Standard Controls

• Type. Type pop-up menu offers two choices. 
  • Type 1 increases the Saturation of the image.
  • Type 2 is a softer glow.
• Amount. Controls the overall strength of the effect.

Advanced Controls

• Softness. Choose whether you want the effect to blend gently or have more defined edges.
• Brightness. This control can raise the luminance values of the entire image.
• Contrast. Use this to maintain a crisper difference between the light and dark areas of the photo.  This is a useful way to create rich blacks and bright whites.
• Saturation. Controls the intensity of colors in the affected image.
