Why settle for pre-made filters when you can direct the AI yourself? Pixelcut’s bokeh overlay tool gives you complete creative freedom through simple text descriptions. You can specify the color, intensity, and style of the bokeh lights. Ask for a 'warm, golden glow' for a romantic feel or 'cool, blue orbs' for a more moody atmosphere. You can even describe where the effect should be concentrated. This level of control ensures the final image perfectly matches the artistic vision you have in mind for your photograph.
