Forget fog that looks like a flat overlay. Atmosphere creates volumetric 3D fog inside your scene, using a high-resolution depth map to make it settle along the ground and thin with height. The result feels like the atmosphere was really there when you took the shot.
Bring your scene to life with fog that responds to its lighting. Warm, glowing haze around the sun, soft halos around street lights, and atmospheric headlights help create a convincing mood, whether you're editing a sunrise landscape or a city after dark.
The Atmosphere tool helps preserve fine details, such as branches and railings, while the Distance control lets you keep the foreground clear and build depth into the scene.
Go beyond a simple fog atmospheric AI effect. Move procedural 3D clouds around your photo and adjust their size, density, and raggedness to control how the atmosphere fills the scene. Create a subtle haze or a more dramatic, cinematic look.
Explore presets with clearly distinct looks and discover the atmosphere that suits your photo. Add delicate mist to a quiet morning, haze between distant hills, or fog glowing beneath city lights. With automatic drone detection, Atmosphere also adapts to aerial photography.

Atmosphere is a photo-editing tool in Luminar that adds realistic fog, mist, and atmospheric effects to your images. This atmospheric vibe editor creates volumetric 3D fog that responds to the scene's depth, ground, and lighting, helping the effect blend naturally into your photo. Learn more in the Atmosphere support guide.
Choose a preset based on the mood you want to create. Different presets offer distinct atmospheric looks, from subtle haze to denser fog – use the mode as a photo atmosphere changer. Try a few options to find the one that best suits your photo and the story you want it to tell.
Atmosphere uses scene depth to help fog blend naturally into the photo. The Distance control lets you keep the foreground clearer while adding atmosphere farther into the scene. You can also adjust the effect to find the right balance between atmosphere and visibility.
Yes. You can fine-tune the effect to suit your photo, including adjusting cloud size, density, and raggedness, and using the available controls to refine the atmosphere. You can also undo your changes or reset the adjustments to return to your previous look.
