Boris FX - Sapphire 2026.51 19.51.0.0 for Windows

Effects:
Sapphire Adjust
S_ChannelSwitcher - designed to reassign and rearrange image channels (RGBA). It does not create an artistic effect on its own, but is used to prepare the image for further processing, compositing and working with masks.
S_ClampChrome - Designed to create a chrome, metallic sheen based on image brightness. It enhances contrast, creates characteristic light and dark transitions and gives objects the appearance of polished metal or reflective chromium. The effect works particularly well with logos, text, graphics and high-contrast objects.
S_DuoTone - converts the image into a two-color (duotone) palette. Instead of the full color range, two selected colors are used: one for shadows, the other — for light areas, with a smooth transition between them.
S_Gamma - designed to change the image gamma. It allows you to lighten or darken mainly midtones, practically without affecting the darkest and lightest areas. This is one of the basic tools for fine-tuning exposure and color correction.
S_Hotspots - designed to create bright spots of light (hotspots) that simulate internal reflections and local lights that appear in the camera lens when shooting bright light sources. The effect helps add a sense of working with real optics to the image and make the light scenes more cinematic.
S_HueSatBright - designed to change the color tone (Hue), saturation (Saturation) and brightness (Brightness) of the image. It is a counterpart to the standard Hue/Saturation tool, but is integrated into the Sapphire ecosystem and supports the plugin's proprietary capabilities, including masking and working with Mocha.
S_Invert - designed to invert image colors and channels. It allows you to reverse the values of selected channels (RGB and/or Alpha), creating a negative effect or performing technical tasks when compositing and working with masks.
S_Monochrome - designed to convert a color image to monochrome (single color). It doesn't just remove color like regular Desaturate, but allows you to tone the image with the selected color, maintaining brightness details and contrast.
S_OCIOTransform - designed to perform color transformations via OpenColorIO (OCIO). It is used in professional VFX and compositing to correctly transform images between different color spaces, scales and display standards.
S_QuadTone - designed to recolor images into a four-tone color scheme. It is an extension of the S_DuoTone idea: instead of two colors, four control tones are used, which are distributed over the image brightness range — from the darkest areas to the lightest.
S_ShowBadColors - designed to find problematic color values in an image. It is used in image quality control, color correction, and inference preparation to detect pixels that fall outside acceptable ranges.
S_Threshold - designed to convert the image into a contrasting black and white mask based on the brightness threshold. It compares the brightness of each pixel with a given value and replaces it with black or white. It is one of the main tools for creating masks, alpha channels, silhouettes and high-contrast images.
S_Tint - designed to tone the image with the selected color. It changes the color scheme of the frame, mixing the original image with a given shade, while maintaining the brightness structure and details.
S_TriTone - designed to convert an image into a three-tone color scheme. It is an intermediate option between S_DuoTone (2 colors) and S_QuadTone (4 colors), allowing you to control the color of shadows, midtones and lights separately.
Sapphire Blur + Sjarpen
S_Advanced Defocus - designed to create realistic optical blur (defocus) with a high degree of control. Unlike the simple Gaussian Blur, it simulates the behavior of the camera lens, allowing you to control the bokeh shape, depth of blur and optical characteristics.
S_Beauty - designed to automatically improve the appearance of the skin. It smoothes the skin texture, reduces the visibility of wrinkles, pores, spots and other small defects, while maintaining important details — eyes, lips, hair and facial contours.
S_Blur - designed to soften the image evenly. It reduces detail, smoothes out small elements and helps create a variety of artistic and technical effects — from soft focus to mask preparation.
S_BlurChannels - designed for independent blurring of individual image channels (Red, Green, Blue and Alpha). Unlike regular S_Blur, which blurs the entire image equally, this effect allows you to set different degrees of blur for each channel, which is especially useful in compositing, color correction and creating artistic effects.
S_BlurChrome - Combines image blur with metal (chrome) processing. The effect creates a soft, polished metallic appearance, in which the image becomes blurry and the light areas acquire characteristic chrome highlights and contrast.
S_BlurDerectional - designed to create motion-style blur. It blurs the image not in all directions evenly, but along a given direction, simulating the movement of a camera, an object, or a long shutter speed when shooting.
S_BlurMoCurves - designed to create motion curve blur. It uses a curvilinear blur direction, allowing for the effect of moving along an arc, curl, or complex path, unlike the usual linear Motion Blur.
S_BlurMotion - designed to create a realistic motion blur (motion blur). It simulates image lubrication that occurs when a camera or object moves during frame exposure. Unlike a simple S_Blur or S_BlurDirectional, this effect is aimed specifically at simulating physical movement, and not just blurring in a given direction.
S_Convolve - designed to perform convolution of an image with a given matrix or filter. This is a more technical and flexible tool than regular Blur: it allows you to use various image processing algorithms through the convolution kernel. Allows you to create your own types of blur, sharpness, glow and filtering, controlling how each pixel mixes with its neighbors.
S_ConvolveComp - designed to perform convolution of one image using another image as a filter or processing kernel. Unlike S_Convolve, which uses a specified mathematical matrix, S_ConvolveComp operates through an image-based source, making it more flexible for VFX and motion design.
S_Deband - designed to eliminate banding in images. It restores the smoothness of gradients by adding controlled noise and smoothing where abrupt transitions between hues occur.
S_DefocusPrism - Combines lens defocus with chromatic dispersion. It creates a soft optical defocus effect, in which the edges of objects begin to separate into color components, imitating the imperfections of a real lens.
S_EdgeAwareBlur - designed to smooth images while preserving outlines and important details. Unlike regular Blur, which blurs the entire image in the same way, EdgeAwareBlur analyzes the edges of objects and tries not to destroy them.
S_EdgeBlur - designed to blur the edges of objects and image contours. Unlike regular S_Blur, which blurs the entire frame, S_EdgeBlur works primarily with areas of high contrast — lines, boundaries and contours.
S_FreeLens - designed to simulate optical distortion of a real lens. It creates effects associated with the behavior of light in lenses: soft defocusing, spherical aberrations, color shifting, glare and the nature of «imperfect» optics.
S_GrainRemove - designed to remove film grain, digital noise and fine high-frequency texture from an image.
S_Median - Performs median filtering of the image. It is used to remove fine noise, single defects, and artifacts while keeping the edges of objects better than normal blur. Median filter — is not pixel averaging (like Blur), but replacing the pixel value with an average value in order of brightness/color among neighboring pixels.
S_RackDefocus - designed to simulate re-focusing the lens — in a cinematic manner, where the camera smoothly shifts the focus from one object to another.
S_RackDfComp - is a composite version of the S_RackDefocus effect. It is designed to create an animated track focus using an additional image/layer as a depth map or control source.
S_Sharpen - designed to sharpen the image. It enhances local contrast at object boundaries, making details clearer and compensating for loss of sharpness after blurring, scaling, or compression.
S_SoftFocus - designed to create a soft focus — effect in which the image retains its overall shape and details, but receives easy defocus, glow and 'cinematic softness'.
S_ZBlur - designed to create depth blur (Depth of Field/Z-Depth Blur). It uses a Z-Depth pass to simulate the true depth of field of a camera: objects near and far are blurred differently, but the chosen depth remains sharp.
S_ZConvolve - designed to create blur and optical effects on a depth map (Z-Depth) using the convention kernel. A more advanced version of S_ZBlur, which uses a realistic model of the lens's defocus shape instead of simple blur. It allows you to create a real cinematic bokeh, depending on the distance to the objects.
S_ZDefocus - designed to create a realistic Defocus based on the Z-Depth depth map. It is similar to S_ZBlur, but is more focused specifically on the optical defocus of the lens: simulating how the camera blurs areas closer or further from the focus point.

S_Layer - designed for compositing two images (layers). It allows one layer to be applied to another using different mixing modes, masks and transparency settings.
S_MathOps - designed to perform mathematical operations between two images or channels. It allows you to combine images at the level of pixel values, rather than artistic overlay modes.

S_ZComp - designed for image compositing using a depth map (Z-Depth). It allows you to automatically determine which object should be in front of another, based not on the order of layers, but on information about the distance to the camera.
Sapphire Distort
S_Distort - designed to distort the image. It shifts pixels through various algorithms, allowing for both subtle optical deformations and strong artistic effects.
S_DistortBlur - both distorts and blurs the image. It combines two processes in one effect: deformation (Distortion) - displacement of pixels and blur (Blur) - smoothing of the image after deformation. The result looks more natural than with S_Distort alone, as strong distortions do not create sharp digital artifacts.
