Basic Image Processing

Advanced Image Processing Toggles between Advanced and Basic Image Processing options.
Image Processing Applies Image Processing settings to the rendered image.
Bloom Turns on bloom. Bloom occurs when a very bright part of an image neighbors a very dark part, causing the bright part to appear to glow. You can turn on and adjust bloom from the PhotoView Options PropertyManager, and further adjust it in the Final Render window. Bloom is not visible in the Preview window. The following options are also available:

Bloom Setpoint

Identifies level of brightness or emissiveness to which bloom effect is applied. Decreasing the percentage applies the effect to more items. Increasing it applies the effect to fewer items.

Bloom Extent

Sets the distance the bloom radiates from source.

Input White Level Sets the threshold for what is considered white in the image. By default, pixels with a value of 1.0 or higher are considered white. Lowering the input white level allows pixels with lower values to be considered white, increasing the overall luminance of the image.
Saturation Controls the amount of color in an image, independent of luminance. At 100%, colors are fully saturated. Reducing the value reduces the overall color saturation. At 0%, the image displays only gray shades. You can also increase saturation above 100% without introducing the color banding and artifacts generally associated with oversaturating images.
