Post-Process Effect
Pick a post-processing effect from an 18-entry catalog (vignette-soft, film-grain, light-leak, chromatic-aberration, …). Emits a post-process prompt fragment.
Overview
The Post-Process Effect parameter node adds finishing-pass aesthetics to a generation — vignette, grain, halation, light leak, chromatic aberration, bloom, lens flares, etc. These read as analog imperfections that ground a CG-looking generation. Injected into the consumer’s prompt via the cinematography handle.
Configuration
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| postProcess | string | "vignette-soft" |
Catalog entry id (e.g. "film-grain", "light-leak"). |
| Pre Text | text | empty | Free-form text prepended to the composed hint. |
| Post Text | text | empty | Free-form text appended to the composed hint. |
Catalog (18 entries)
Examples: vignette-soft, vignette-heavy, film-grain, film-grain-heavy, light-leak, lens-flare, chromatic-aberration, halation, bloom, glow, motion-blur, radial-blur, crt-scanlines, vhs-tracking, pixel-bleed, dust-scratches, tape-noise, desaturation.
Inputs & Outputs
Inputs: in — optional upstream parameter input.
Outputs: out — composed prompt-hint clause, consumed by downstream AI nodes via their cinematography handle.
Common Use Cases
- Add filmic grain to fight the “AI plastic” look.
- VHS-era treatment (scanlines, tape noise, tracking) for retro aesthetics.
- Stack with Color / Look for a complete grade.
