# Warped Highlight Bloom

> Soft bloom bends and flows locally around bright image areas, creating a fluid refractive distortion.

## About this style

Warped highlight bloom lets bright areas bend and spread as if seen through a gently flowing medium. Several highlights drive their own local distortions while darker structures stay comparatively stable.

Warped bloom derives its flow from existing highlights while darker structure provides a reference.

Three lamps with short curved halos against stable wall shapes can suggest a subtly disturbed optical medium.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Local bloom flows around hair and bright facial areas while darker contours remain steadier.

- **Landscape**: Lights and reflections bend outward into flowing halos across scenery.

- **Object**: Highlights spread and distort locally while dark regions anchor object recognition.

**Subjects**: Choose night lights, reflective water, backlit figures or glossy still lifes with localized highlights rather than overall overexposure.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Let the brightest existing image regions generate soft luminous bloom that bends into localized flowing warps. Displace and gently curl nearby highlights with uneven liquid-like paths while leaving dark structural areas comparatively stable. Mix a concentrated bright core with translucent expanding glow, restrained pearly color and smooth local refraction. The effect should originate from multiple existing highlights rather than a single frame center. Avoid uniform Gaussian blur, straight beacon rays, flames or new luminous objects.
