Available Curated editable effects
Preview the treatment. Keep the source.
Effect Studio turns a creative direction into an editable Object Filter recipe. Browse named treatments, compare the accepted state with the current candidate, adjust the controls, and decide when the result belongs in the document.
A deliberate workflow
See what will change before it becomes history.
Compare
Use Before, After, or a draggable split between the accepted state and current candidate.
Keep or cancel
Keep adds one coherent recipe to the local undo history. Cancel removes only the preview-owned edits.
A clear workspace at every size.
The live preview and treatment gallery stay together as the dialog reflows. After the live render settles, an optional 2× check gives a closer look at the same selected object and matching Before/After bounds. On tablet and narrow screens, a sticky section rail jumps to the preview, treatment browser, or active stack/settings without adding a second scroll area.
Named treatments, editable internals.
A treatment is a discoverable recipe, not a flattened image. Reticulation, Halftone Pattern, Grain, Chromatic Bloom, and other recipes expose meaningful controls while preserving their derived Object Filter entries, order, masks, and blend behavior.
Vector and raster
Preview the rendered result for shapes, paths, text, groups, frames, and images while the original source remains editable.
One history step
Apply, keep, cancel, and multi-selection application use the existing document transaction and undo system.
Explicit duplication
Reapplying a treatment is an intentional Add another action, so an accidental second click does not silently duplicate the stack.
Inspect at scale
Fit contains the complete preview; 100% and 200% show its encoded pixels at inspection scale, with drag-to-pan and a shared Center control for aligned comparisons.
The right surface for the job.

- Object Filters
- Searchable 5-category catalog, whole-stack bypass, live blend mode badges, and per-effect compositing.
- Image Tuning
- Focused photographic corrections for selected image content.
- Adjustment Layers
- Scoped corrections that intentionally cross object boundaries.
Honest previews, local-first documents.
The live preview uses Varve's canonical renderer at 768 × 576. Once it settles, an optional 2× check uses a 1536 × 1152 profile for Before and After, scaling small selections up while preserving their aspect ratio. Changes to the target or settings make an earlier check stale, while the live preview and Apply remain available. Both images are bounded editing previews; the canvas and export remain the full-resolution references. Documents store the editable recipe, not a preview bitmap.
