Step 01
Choose the atmosphere
Every night is different. Start with a look that matches the scene, from restrained natural color to a deeper cinematic direction, so the edit has a clear intention from the first move.
The Borealis System
Bring the aurora atmosphere back to your night files.
Modern cameras capture the light. Borealis is a color editing system that helps your RAW files hold more of the feeling you had standing under the northern lights.
Built for aurora, winter, and deep night photography.
The atmosphere, brought back with control.
Drag to compare. Each edit is built to stay close to the feeling of the night, not to bury it under effects.
A clear workflow for restoring mood, color, and detail.
Borealis is built around the specific challenges of night photography, so each edit stays intentional from start to finish.
Step 02
Balance the light
Aurora images carry strong contrast between a bright sky and a dark foreground. The AI-powered tools balance that light so detail returns without flattening the depth of the photograph.
Step 03
Refine the finish
High ISO comes with the territory. Finishing tools for noise, star sharpening, and final polish keep the image clean and controlled while it still feels like night.
