Twenty lighting setups, from soft window light to Rembrandt, neon and film noir

Light is what a photographer sells, and Relight puts twenty setups on your photo after the fact. Choose a lighting style and the Studio re-lights the scene accordingly — the direction and softness of the key light, the shadows it casts on the face, the fill, the rim on the hair — while keeping your features, pose, clothing and background. A flat, overhead-lit selfie becomes a Rembrandt portrait with a triangle of light on the cheek, or a window-lit study, or a split-lit dramatic photo.

The classic studio patterns are all here: Soft, Dramatic, Rembrandt, Split, Butterfly, Loop, Broad, Short and Rim, plus Silhouette and Spotlight. Then the atmospheric ones — Natural Window, Candlelight, Fire Glow, Fairy Lights, Neon Cyberpunk, Film Noir, Underwater, Northern Lights and Vintage Flash. Photographers use the first group to fix a portrait; everyone uses the second to change its mood entirely. The output keeps the aspect ratio of the original.

A Standard run costs 4 credits and takes seconds; Pro and Max quality render skin under the new light with more subtlety, which matters for close portraits. Relight is a natural follow-up to any shoot, to Background Changer when the new scene calls for a different light, and to Photo Retouch when balance alone is not enough. Compare against the original with one tap and keep the version that makes the face look best.
