Nodalin’s bloom also treats a shape’s transparency as part of the glow, allowing soft halos even around semi-transparent edges. It includes a subtle fresnel-style edge boost, giving shapes a slightly more vivid, dimensional outline. The result is a richer, more expressive glow than a standard brightness-blur bloom.

Quick tip #1: The Bloom node works wonders if combined with the[ Post node](/nodalin-docs/nodes-reference/tools/post.md) \
Quick tip #2: If you set the Bloom `radius` to 0 the effect intensifies the edges and outlines of the input.
