Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Daydream different from a standard photo filter?
Daydream runs a full film simulation pipeline with 25+ individually adjustable effects — bloom, halation, film grain, vignette, film curve, and more. Each one is modeled on real film behavior, not just a color overlay.
Does Daydream work in all lighting conditions?
Yes. The neutral 5500K base and balanced film curve adapt gracefully from golden hour to overcast to mixed indoor light. It’s the preset you leave on.
Can I save my own version of Daydream?
Every parameter is adjustable. Tweak bloom, grain, temperature, softening — anything — then save it as a custom preset in your library.
