Film Fog

Chemical fog and shadow lift from pushed development

Film Fog effect example

What It Does

Simulates the chemical fog that builds up when film is pushed (overdeveloped) or aged. Lifts the deepest shadows and adds a subtle haze across the image.

How It Affects Your Image

  • Lifts the black point so nothing goes truly dark
  • Adds an overall haze that softens contrast
  • Creates the ‘faded print’ aesthetic of vintage photographs
  • More pronounced in shadow areas
