Go beyond generic presets and take full control over your photo's texture. With our AI editor, your words guide the creation of the dust overlay. You can specify the size, density, and intensity of the particles, asking for 'fine, floating dust' or 'large, scratchy dust motes'. This level of detail allows for precise adjustments that complement your photo's existing composition and lighting. Describe the effect you imagine, and the AI will generate a unique overlay that brings your specific textural ideas to life with impressive accuracy.

By adding small imperfections like dust and specks, you can break up flat areas, draw attention to your subject, and give the entire composition a richer, more authentic feel. It’s a simple way to add a layer of sophistication and visual interest to your pictures.
