# Bloom

The **Bloom** effect enhances bright areas by creating a glowing halo around them, simulating realistic light scattering and adding depth to the scene.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This effect has a **medium** impact on performance. It is recommended to enable it only when necessary or when the scene is highly optimized.
{% endhint %}

#### Settings:

* **Intensity** – controls the strength of the glow effect. Higher values produce a more pronounced bloom.
* **Threshold** – determines the brightness level at which the bloom effect is applied. Lower values make more areas glow, while higher values limit the effect to the brightest spots.
* **Size** – adjusts the spread of the glow, affecting how far the bloom extends from the light source.

{% hint style="success" %}
Each of these values can be set manually above 100% by entering a custom number
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.vectary.com/documentation/design-process/effects/bloom.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
