There are special effects that best match certain subjects. Control effects' strength by their transparency. This allows experimentation for unique results. You can add tinted overlays and captions to the mix to surpass your expectations.
Orton effect (blended blur)
This mimics Orton photography. The images look smooth and dreamy. Observe the difference as the original version is revealed on interaction. This special effect is especially good for people shots as it beautifies the skin. It is also excellent with hair, fur, water.

Glow
Interact with these to see glow in action. This special effect is best for darker photos with a light source. It brightens up midtones well, but it's not for already bright photos that are near overexposure anyway.

What are the options for special effects?
- Choose the effect to use or disable the feature.
- Reveal or hide on mouse over.
- Effect can stay fixed regardless the mouse.
- Work differently on turn off on mobile devices.
- Control how visible is the effect over the original image.
- Advanced settings for certain effects such as glow amount.
- Only apply effects behind the captions.
Note: The effects are achieved by a JS plugin, Pixastic. When Jetpack plugin's Photon module (a CDN) is enabled, the special effects are turned off. It is due a JavaScript security policy for images served from another domain. In most cases, special effects can show normally as thumbnails are hosted on your domain even for Facebook and Flickr.
