RGB mixing controls how much each color (Red, Green, Blue) contributes to the final grayscale. Default is 30% Red, 59% Green, 11% Blue (luminosity method). Adjust to emphasize different elements: more red for skin tones, more blue for dramatic skies.

Vignette gradually darkens the edges of your image, creating a natural focus toward the center. It's a classic photography technique that adds depth and draws the viewer's eye to your subject.

Film grain adds subtle noise texture that mimics analog film photography. It gives digital images an authentic, organic quality and works especially well with vintage or cinematic styles.
