Halation
Red light bleeding from bright highlights
What It Does
Simulates the red light bleeding characteristic of certain film stocks (especially Cinestill 800T). This occurs when bright lights reflect off the film backing and create a reddish halo.
How It Affects Your Image
- Red/warm halos appear around bright lights and highlights
- Creates that distinctive 'film shot at night' look
- Adds a nostalgic, authentic film quality
