Can I control which part of the spectrum appears in the dispersion?

Yes. Each effect includes hue rotation controls that let you shift the starting color of the spectrum dispersion. You can isolate the warm (red, orange, yellow) and cool (blue, violet) ends of the spectrum for effects that align with a brand palette.

Are these useful for packaging design or only for poster and editorial work?

Prism effects are widely used in packaging — especially for luxury cosmetics, fragrances, and technology products. Several effects in the collection are specifically designed for clean object-surface application.

Do the effects work on dark backgrounds?

Yes, and often better. Spectral dispersion effects read most vividly against dark or black backgrounds, where the additive color mixing is most visible. Lighter backgrounds require higher-opacity applications to maintain legibility.

Are the chromatic aberration effects adjustable — I want subtle, not overwhelming?

Absolutely. Every effect includes a master intensity slider equivalent (layer opacity and blending controls) plus separate controls for the red, green, and blue channel separation distances. An aberration at 10–15% is as achievable as an extreme 100% split.

How do prism effects interact with black-and-white source images?

Prism effects on monochrome source material create duotone-like results with the spectral color as the dominant hue. This is a particularly interesting application for portrait work and editorial photo treatments.

Our selection of prism treatments fully captures optical complexity. Stack the effects, adjust the blend, and tune the opacity until the refraction sits exactly where the composition needs it. The goal is not to cover the artwork with rainbow light, but to add one controlled optical accent that makes the image feel deeper, more premium, and more alive.
