# Exposure

Open **Creative Settings › Exposure** to blend the result with the original image and adjust filtered highlights.

## Master Opacity

Blends the finished effect over the original image. **100** gives the full effect; **0** gives the original image. Reduce it to mix some of the original image back into the result.

## Highlight Boost

Boosts highlights before filtering and applies an inverse curve afterward. It can make blurred highlights more prominent. **0** disables the control.

### Input and defocus

Set [Input Color Space](https://videovillage.com/learn/mirage/full-guide/interface#input-color-space) to match the image entering Mirage before adjusting Highlight Boost. Use [F-Stop](https://videovillage.com/learn/mirage/full-guide/interface#f-stop) and [Focus Shift](https://videovillage.com/learn/mirage/full-guide/interface#focus-shift) to control defocus.
