About this effect

Brightness/Contrast/Saturation (BCS) is the foundational adjustment layer in GlitchForge. Boost contrast to make glitch effects pop; reduce saturation for a desaturated, moody look; adjust brightness to recover details lost in heavy effect chains. While simple, BCS is often the difference between a muddy glitch and a striking one. Apply it as the final step in your effect chain to polish the output before export.
