Dreamy Photo Filter: A Backlit Secret Garden Moment
Sun pouring through her hair, glowing petals and floating sparkles — a fairytale garden moment.
Some photos deserve to feel like a scene from a film. This dreamy photo filter relights your picture with a low golden sun right behind you, so light glows through every strand of your hair and along your shoulders. Soft pink and white petals blur in the foreground, tiny golden sparkles float in the sunbeams, and the background drops into deep green shade.
The result is a backlit, fairytale garden look that still feels like a real photo. It is ideal for parks, gardens, flower fields and spring outfits. Omi keeps your face, hair, pose and clothes exactly the same.

Questions
How do I make a photo look dreamy?
Soft backlight, glow and a shallow depth of field do most of the work. Omi's Secret Garden effect adds all three to your photo automatically.
Can I add backlight to a photo after taking it?
Yes. Omi relights the photo so the sun appears to be behind you, with a glowing rim on your hair and shoulders.
Will the dreamy filter change my face or outfit?
No. It is a lighting and atmosphere edit only, so you, your pose and the place stay the same.
Does it work outdoors only?
It looks best on outdoor photos with some greenery, but it can work on any photo where you are clearly visible.
