How do I apply Radiant online?
Open the Radiant preset, add your image or video, and adjust the loaded effect layers to suit your source. Preview the result before exporting.
What creates the Radiant look?
The preset uses custom Curves, Depth of Field, noise, and Duotone. A final Curves layer reshapes the duotone, so the result is more complex than two flat colors.
How do I move the sharp area?
Adjust the Depth of Field center, radius, and aspect. Place the focus around the most important feature, then tune the falloff to control how quickly the surrounding image softens.
Can I replace the green and red colors?
Yes. Change the Duotone start and end colors, then inspect the result after the final Curves layer. Those later channel adjustments can change the apparent palette significantly.
How can I make the result less abstract?
Reduce the blur radius and ease the stronger curve changes. Start with broad, well-separated tones so the subject remains readable through the color transformation.
