Interpretation is structured for decision-making; original keeps the upstream SKILL.md unchanged.

Decide Fit First

Core job: Photoshop background and photo effect recipes: bokeh background, gradient mesh, light leak/flare, cyberpunk/synthwave grading, r…
Best fit: Use it when the task has reusable inputs, steps, and validation criteria rather than a one-off answer.
Avoid forcing it: If the source lacks commands, platform support, or external-service evidence, keep those fields unknown instead of guessing.

Design Intent

Structure: The skill is organized around “6.1 BOKEH BACKGROUND”, “6.2 GRADIENT MESH BACKGROUND”, “6.3 LIGHT LEAK / FLARE”, “6.4 CYBERPUNK / SYNTHWAVE GRADING”, showing how the author expects the agent to judge fit, collect context, and produce verifiable output.
Trigger evidence: Prioritize the author’s wording around when to use it, what context to collect, and what output shape to produce.
Evidence boundary: Author text states facts, repository files prove commands and paths, and Fluxly only adds fit, limits, and usage judgment.

How To Use It

Inputs: Provide target material, scope, expected result, forbidden changes, and validation method.
Invocation: Name ps-photo-effects directly; if the source includes slash commands, start with the command and then add task context.
Validation: Start small and check whether the result follows “6.1 BOKEH BACKGROUND / 6.2 GRADIENT MESH BACKGROUND / 6.3 LIGHT LEAK / FLARE” before expanding.

Boundaries And Review

Dependencies: It usually needs no extra API key, so start with a small validation task.
Permissions: Declared permissions include read / write; ask the agent to state file, command, and rollback boundaries before acting.
Quality bar: A useful result names the deliverable, evidence, and next action. Generic prose means the task needs tighter context.

§6 BACKGROUND & PHOTO EFFECTS — 13 Recipes

6.1 BOKEH BACKGROUND

Soft brush dabs (800-1200px, opacity 15-30%, hardness 0) → apply_gaussian_blur(radius=8-15) → duplicate at 70% scale for depth

6.2 GRADIENT MESH BACKGROUND

3-5 pixel layers, each with single soft brush dab of different color → apply_gaussian_blur(radius=200-350) each → stack at 70-90% opacity

6.3 LIGHT LEAK / FLARE

Soft brush warm colors → apply_gaussian_blur(radius=80-120) → SCREEN 50-70%

6.4 CYBERPUNK / SYNTHWAVE GRADING

Color balance: shadows → blue [0,0,50], highlights → pink [30,-10,-20]
Levels: output_shadow=15
Vibrance +30

6.5 RETRO / VINTAGE GRADING (faded blacks)

Curves composite: [{0,30},{255,240}] — raised blacks + capped whites
Curves red: [{0,12},{255,255}]
Curves blue: [{0,35},{255,220}]
Hue/Sat: saturation -25
Photo filter: warm (236,138,0) density 22
apply_noise(amount=4, monochromatic=true) → OVERLAY 35%

6.6 DUOTONE

add_gradient_map_adjustment_layer with 2 stops Combos: Midnight Blue→Gold, Deep Purple→Pink, Dark Teal→Orange, Black→Cyan

6.7 DOUBLE EXPOSURE

Portrait + landscape → SCREEN 70-85% → mask to reveal face details

6.8 VIGNETTE

Method 1: lens_correction(vignette=-80, vignette_midpoint=40) Method 2: ellipse select → invert → fill black → reduce opacity 40-60%

6.9 COLOR POP

Hue/sat -100 on top → paint black on mask over colored object

6.10 HDR EFFECT

S-curve + apply_high_pass OVERLAY 50% + vibrance +30 + shadows_highlights(shadow_amount=50, highlight_amount=30)

6.11 MINIATURE / TILT-SHIFT

Use apply_tilt_shift_blur tool directly, or: duplicate → apply_gaussian_blur(radius=15-25) → reflected gradient mask

6.12 SKIN RETOUCHING (frequency separation)

Low freq: Duplicate → apply_gaussian_blur(radius=6-10) High freq: Duplicate original → apply_high_pass(radius=6-10) → LINEAR_LIGHT Or use apply_image_composite tool for precise separation

6.13 DAY TO NIGHT

Curves pull highlights down → blue color balance → desat -30 → paint warm lights on SCREEN layer

§7 COLOR GRADING RECIPES

7.1 TEAL & ORANGE (cinematic)

Red channel curves: input 60→output 45, input 190→output 210 Green channel curves: input 75→output 70, input 180→output 185 Blue channel curves: input 50→output 75, input 200→output 175

7.2 JAPANESE ANIME STYLE

S-curve on composite for contrast
Blue shadows: +10 via color balance
Selective Color → Reds: saturation +15, lightness +5
Selective Color → Cyans: saturation +20
Vibrance +20, saturation +5

7.3 MOODY BLUE

Blue shadows +40, desaturate -20, lower highlights via curves

7.4 WARM VINTAGE

Raise black point to 20, warm photo filter, desat -15
