Inspector → **Style** → **Customize** (open by default). Blocks start **collapsed**: **Plate · Ambience · Lens Effects · Film · Atmosphere & Decals** ![Customize disclosures at the bottom of Style](/files/21bX8IavI9fVv3qlNgY5) A Look that ticks several lens boxes still plays **at most one** pooled effect per photo. Same Look chip again → fresh three (except **Clean**). See [Looks](/style-and-motion/looks.md#the-eight-chips). **Reset Style to Defaults** restores this tab (caption *style*, not *text*). Per-photo film overrides clear too. Undoes with **⌘Z**; never removes photos, music, order, or trims. ## Plate The paper under the photo. * **Photo Border** — **White** or **Black** matte; thick white frames get a heavier bottom margin * **Border Width** and **Border Opacity** — opacity fades the whole matte * **Torn Edge** + strength — Soft deckle or Rough hand-torn (when not off) * **Paper Curl** * **Drop Shadow** — Soft or Strong (also from nearer seats onto ones behind in a stack, carousel, or ribbon) * **Rim Glow** — Soft or Strong luminous edge (with Drop Shadow or instead of it) * **Corners** — Rounded / Sharp — sharp for Polaroid / Cinematic / Noir / Crisp; Clean, Vintage, B\&W, and Golden Hour stay rounded ## Ambience Air around the plate — reflection, glow, wind, leak, wash. * **Floor Reflection** — Soft or Strong mirrored floor (with Drop Shadow / Rim Glow or instead of them) * **Glow on Entry** — soft warm settle; on a group window the whole open catches it once * **Wind** — **None**, **Gentle Wind**, or **Light Wind** (paper sway on the hold) * **Wind Direction** — when Wind is on: **Horizontal**, **Diagonal ↗**, **Diagonal ↘** * **Light Leak** — amber edge burn (+ Soft Colored accent); burns through group windows too * **Backdrop** — Grayscale / Colored / Random * **Backdrop Seat** — Centered / Offset Backdrop = blurred enlarged photo (multi-photo washes crossfade every couple of cards). Drifts with the plate, softens less on Light stage, settles with the card. | Backdrop | What it does | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Grayscale** | Every wash fully mono | | **Colored** | Every wash keeps the photo’s colours | | **Random** | About half mono / half colour, **stable per photo seed** — preview matches export | Older projects migrate: Black & White → Grayscale, Color → Colored, Mixed → Random. ## Lens Effects Optical light on the frame. Full list, clips, Randomize / How often, Anamorphic / Refract knobs: [**Lens effects**](/style-and-motion/lens-effects.md). Checkboxes A–Z: **Anamorphic Streaks, Bokeh, Flare, Ghosting, Orbs, 50mm Prime, Pulse, Refract Bubbles, Sparkle, Starburst, Sweep, Veiling Glare, Vignette**, plus **Randomize Selected** and **How often**. A photo plays **at most one** pooled effect. ## Film Stock texture outside the lens pool — Randomize never thins it. * **Film Grain** + **Grain Amount** — soft warm stock over the whole frame; sized to the frame so 4K matches preview * **Color Fringe** + **Fringe Amount** — soft red/blue at photo edges * **Film Scratches** + **Scratch Amount** — sparse hairlines on the **blurred backdrop only**; photo cards stay clean With a photo selected, **This Photo** sets each to **Inherit**, **Off**, or **On** (plus amount when not Inherit). Per-photo film edits do **not** switch Style to Custom. ## Atmosphere & Decals Weather and motifs — each menu a **single choice**, default **None**. Looks never set these; picking one does not re-deal the lens pool. * **Atmosphere** — **None** · **Bubbles** (soap films) · **Leaves** (autumn drift + maple edge motifs) * **Decals** — **None** · **Travel** (pins / routes / folded map / plane / suitcase **plus** a dotted route plane) · **Vacation** (holiday motifs + the same route plane) · **Party** (sparse cues + a sparkle tick) · **Florals** · **Wedding** · **Pets** · **Sports** All edge-biased — never a sticker bomb on the hero print. No separate Map or Route checkbox. Clips below: 1080p real exports; player opens on the cover frame. ### Atmosphere — Bubbles Soap films drift through the air around the stage. {% embed url="" %} ### Atmosphere — Leaves Autumn drift and maple edge motifs — season at the margins. {% embed url="" %} ### Decals — Travel Pins, routes, folded map, plane, suitcase — plus a dotted route plane. {% embed url="" %} ### Decals — Vacation Holiday motifs with the same route plane — edge-biased. {% embed url="" %} ### Decals — Party Sparse celebration cues and a sparkle tick at the rim. {% embed url="" %} ### Decals — Florals Floral motifs along the edges — off the hero print. {% embed url="" %} ### Decals — Wedding Wedding motifs along the edges — off the hero print. {% embed url="" %} ### Decals — Pets Pet motifs along the edges — off the hero print. {% embed url="" %} ### Decals — Sports Sports motifs along the edges — off the hero print. {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://memorystring.codebyz.com/style-and-motion/customize.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
