Polar Bloom

Wrap the frame into a soft polar bloom with swirl, zoom blur and warm highlight lift.

Polar remapping folds a photograph into a circular field, the same coordinate trick used in radar displays and kaleidoscope filters. Paired with bloom and radial blur, the plate reads as a soft luminous disc rather than a literal sphere.

Use it when you want circular energy and glow without a crystal-ball motif.
