Why we still make effects by hand
We’ve spent the last years building SmokeOverlay by hand... testing smoke shapes, light behavior, edges, opacity, texture, and real-world usability in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Affinity Photo. In a time when AI can generate almost anything instantly, we still believe photographers deserve effects made with care, consistency, and control.
