How Render Effects Are Used โ€‹

Render effects can be combined to shape the final appearance of a render.

Some effects are mainly corrective, such as Anti-Aliasing or Sharpen. Others are primarily visual or stylistic, such as Vignette, Grain, Chromatic Aberration, or Letterbox. Effects such as Fog, Bloom, and Depth of Field can also help reinforce depth, atmosphere, and focus.
