Apply graphic effects

When it comes to beautifying the look of your images, Bloom offers you a wide range of filters and effects that you can apply and preview in real-time.More precisely, you can alter the contrast and the blur levels, as well as pixelate, swirl, emboss, despeckle, add noise or unsharpen mask. You can also apply an oil painting filter, vignette and light effects.Moreover, you can tweak parameters for each of these enhancements to make sure they match your expectations. Since you can preview the results, you can tamper with the values until you are satisfied with the result.

Process numerous graphic formats

Unlike other similar editors, Bloom imports all the information stored in PSD files, so you can continue the work you started in Photoshop. You can also import other formats, such as BMP, CUR, ICO, JPEG, PSD, SVG, TGA, TIFF or XCF, along with several types of RAW images.All in all, Bloom can be of great use to all those who are willing to spend some time discovering all its functions and browsing the hefty documentation.
