Blooming

Blooming can occur when photographs are taken with hard backlighting. In such cases the camera sensor some of the pixels at the transition between light and dark areas are exposed erroneously, which leads to colored fringes, usually mauve. The blooming function can remove these.

Scope (R, G, B)
Sets the range within which the color fringe should lose color.

Threshold
Sets the threshold value from which a color fringe is generated on account of overexposure.

Scale
Scales the visible fraction of the color fringe so that it can be individually adjusted.

Intensity (R, G, B)
Increases or reduces the intensity of the individual colors with respect to the color fringe.

Radius
Sets the point from which color fringes shall be recognized as such.

Saturation
Drains the region around the color fringe more or less of color depending on the slider setting.
