You’ve framed your shot, you’ve set up extra lighting, you have your perfect costume selected. You can leave it there, but one of the last tabs in Camera Mode lets you select from a series of different filter effects, and level of which they’re blended with the shot.

Some of these, especially at low blends, can be subtle amplifications of whatever shot you were going for—the Vapor filter at low levels is nicely paired with Spider-Verse costumes to create the exaggerated chromatic abberation effect from the movies, for example!—but others might get you to consider changing the lighting choices you made to get the most out of them. It’s always worth seeing if a certain filter will change your mind about a given shot.
