Halo Pro simulates halation — the characteristic glow that occurs when bright light sources bleed through film emulsion layers.
Unlike simple bloom or glow effects, this uses 32-bit float processing to accurately model the physics of light interaction with film grain structure. The application handles complex mathematical calculations while maintaining smooth, responsive performance through GPU acceleration and intelligent caching.
Multi-pass processing with variable spread and color channel control. Independent adjustments for highlight threshold, diffusion radius, and chromatic response.
Optical diffusion simulation including bloom characteristics, contrast reduction mapping, and film-accurate softening curves.
Complete signal chain with highlight rolloff, toe compression, and grain modeling. LUT integration for established workflows.
Non-destructive luminosity and color range selection with feathering controls. Isolate effects to specific tonal ranges.
Free Version
Full halation, mist, and film simulation with masking capabilities. Includes LUT support and full bit-depth import/export.
Professional
Lightroom plugin integration, batch processing for video sequences, and priority access to updates and new features.
Beta
This application is currently in beta. While extensively tested for core functionality, users may encounter edge cases. Feedback is actively incorporated into development priorities.
