A quick way to convert a shot filmed in the day to having the appearance of being filmed at night. Day for Night applies a gradient based on the Horizon property, with separate controls for the near and far areas.

  • Horizon: Sets the position of the horizon line, dividing the Near colorization and Far colorization of the image.
  • Near: The Near controls are used to set the appearance of your subject and foreground; the area below the horizon line, which will often have a blue cast for a night scene.
    • Red Gamma: Defines the amount of red in your foreground.
    • Blue Gamma: Defines the amount of blue in your foreground.
    • Brightness: Increases or decreases the brightness of your foreground.
    • Saturation: Adjusts the intensity of the color in the affected image.
  • Far: The Far controls alter the area above the horizon, which should usually be quite dark for a convincing night scene.
    • Gamma: Adjusts the darker areas of the background.
    • Brightness: Adjusts mainly the brighter areas of the background.
    • Hue: Selects the hue toward which the background will be tinted.
