SELON / Soften Highlights

Soften harsh highlights online with glow, tone, and halation

Use SELON to soften clipped-looking highlights, rebuild a smoother film-like rolloff, and tune glow, halation, tone, density, and color in the browser.

What it helps with

- Make bright skies, windows, lamps, and reflections feel less digital.

- Use glow and halation as photographic finishing tools rather than a blanket blur.

- Balance highlight softness with contrast, density, and color grading.

Film-look workflow in the browser

SELON is built for photographers who want a browser-native way to explore color, density, halation, glow, grain, detail, and RAW/DNG-oriented workflows without starting from a generic template editor.

The app runs on a Next.js and Cloudflare Workers stack, uses WebGL image processing, and includes LibRaw WASM support as the foundation for heavier photo workflows in Chrome.

FAQ

Can SELON recover fully clipped data?

No editor can recreate detail that was never captured, but SELON can soften the visual edge of harsh highlights with tone, glow, halation, and color controls.

Is highlight softening processed online on a server?

SELON is designed around browser-native image processing, so creative edits are handled in the browser workflow rather than as a traditional uploaded-server editor.

Start editing

Open the browser darkroom, load a photo, compare Original / Split / SELON views, then export a processed result.
