The Ethereal effect is versatile in how it can be applied. Using ellipse paths you define the areas of coverage, the tonal values, radius, softness, cast amount and colors and other settings that give you precise controls. There are dozens of different looks with a large variation of settings available for each style.

Ethereal enhances an image by adding in tonal diffusion and light to soften and enrich the lighter values in the image. Like the traditional technique used by professional photographers, Ethereal simulates a longer exposure with a soft lens and a bright light source.
