About this effect

Film Effect combines warmth, grain, and tonal shaping into a more complete analog-looking finish. It is useful when you want the image to feel less digital and more like a processed film scan.

Compared with Vintage, Film Effect leans more into texture and a film look. Compared with Grain alone, it feels more complete because color and tone are shaped at the same time.
