Dreamy Effects

Dreamy motion softens an image rather than sharpening it — hazy drift, floating particles, motion that blurs the edge between subject and atmosphere. AniFX's planned dreamy effects are designed to feel unhurried, closer to a memory than a documentary shot.

Because this style intentionally reduces clarity, it's being planned for images where mood matters more than detail — portraits, artwork, and soft landscape scenes — rather than product or catalog work, where legibility usually needs to stay intact.
