Better than on-set diffusion

No light loss, no flares, no back reflections, no speckled bokeh.

Tweakable, keyframe-able, mask-able, highlight-adjustable

Consistent characteristics across focal lengths.

Completely color neutral.

Diffusion belongs in post

Fine-tune diffusion during the grade with the context of the edit.

Responds dynamically to image alterations like power windows and composites.

Looks just as great on CGI as it does on live action, and it won't ruin VFX plates.

Diffuse each deliverable differently, from HDR to SDR to VCR.
