How Relight Portrait Works

Relight Portrait uses AI to re-estimate and replace the lighting in a portrait photo. The AI builds a 3D understanding of the face from the 2D image, then renders new light and shadow patterns based on your chosen direction, intensity, and color temperature. You control 8 light positions (front, left, right, back, and diagonals), three intensity levels (soft, dramatic, hard), and warm-to-cool color temperature. Photographers use Relight to rescue poorly lit portraits and create studio-quality results from phone selfies. Fashion content creators achieve dramatic editorial lighting without studio equipment. Headshot photographers offer lighting variations to clients without reshooting. The tool effectively puts a full studio lighting rig at your fingertips. Upload a clear portrait where the face has some visible dimension -- completely flat or overexposed photos give the AI less depth information to work with. Front-facing portraits with a neutral expression respond best to dramatic relighting. Try side lighting for editorial and moody portraits, and front lighting with warm color temperature for professional headshots.

Can I batch-relight portraits with the same lighting setup?
