Relight
v1ProChange where the light comes from — and the shadows that follow.
- You give
- A picture and a light direction
- You get
- The scene lit that way
Free alternative: If you only want the picture warmer or cooler rather than lit differently, Image grade runs on your own device, free and without an account.

Left and right are the subject's, not yours.

Colour
Sent to the model
Relight the same scene with a soft light with gentle, diffused shadows from the subject's front left, low and raking across it, warm in colour, shadows kept dark, contrast on the strong side.
Runs in the background — you can leave this page, and the result still lands in your Generator library.
How this works
Changes where the light is coming from and what kind of light it is: a hard key from the side, an overcast day, a warm lamp at dusk. Put the light where you want it rather than describing it — direction is the one part of that sentence nobody can type accurately.
Lighting is the thing a picture is hardest to fix later and the thing a model is best at rewriting, which is why this is its own tool rather than a phrase in a general edit.
The lighting changes and nothing else does: subject, pose, framing, materials and object colours stay exactly as they were, and the shadows are rebuilt to match the new key light. A relight with the old shadows still in it is what makes these look fake.
