## What it does

AI Photo Relight changes the light in a photo after it was taken: golden hour, studio softbox, neon night, dramatic side light, overcast daylight or candlelight. The person, pose and composition stay the same.

## From our test

I took a flat, dull indoor portrait and asked for golden hour. My first engine only warmed it slightly, so I switched. The result had real warm sun coming from one side, light on one cheek and soft shadow on the other, and a sunlit patch on the wall behind her, in 30 seconds.

## Tips

- Flat, evenly lit photos relight most convincingly.
- Pick a light that fits the scene; neon night on a beach photo looks staged.
- Faces stay the same, but expect the background to change color with the light.

## Ideas for using it

- Making a dull office headshot feel warm and friendly.
- Matching the light across product photos shot on different days.
- A moody version of a portrait for a cover or poster.
