What to know
- Background effects apply behind your screenshot, not to the screenshot pixels themselves.
- Image adjustment controls are only available when image background mode is active.
- Gradient stop count is limited to keep editing predictable.
If a background looks muddy
Reduce blur first, then lower saturation, then adjust brightness. This is usually faster than rebuilding the whole gradient or changing frame settings.
