I would tweek the levels too. I find using level 5 adds too much to the glow. What I find more please IMO is: |

I updated the pull request to adjust the default glow levels per #52227 (comment). See OP for an updated Imgsli comparison. |

I think this needs to be better discussed, maybe using mix glow mode and normalized, the soft one rarely has any effct. |

Rebased and tested again, it works as expected. Comparison in a daytime scene with bright materials (most scenes won't be this bright):
Notice how the new glow is more localized. It better preserves scene contrast and avoids looking like it's brightening the entire scene. |
|
I've pushed those new Glow defaults to https://github.com/Calinou/godot-reflection if anyone wants to see them in a "real world" scene. (I reduced the intensity to 0.2 as this is a scene with a bright sky.) |
|
Any progress on this? I don't want to needlessly bump this but it's been like half a year. |
|
In my experiments I've found that setting all the levels to 1 and normalizing, with intensity at 0.8, and strength at 1, with soft light (so current default aside from levels and normalization) produces the best results, with a subtle, stable effect on bright surfaces, that smoothly increases as the brightness increases |
- Use the Screen blend mode instead of Soft Light. - Use a lower intensity to compensate for the stronger appearance of the Screen blend mode instead of Soft Light. - Tweak glow levels to only use the first 4 levels in a more "progressive" manner.

There are additional images you can select to compare with disabled glow and Screen mode with intensity 0.8.
