Relight a photo by describing the light you want
Dull overcast shot? Harsh flash? Describe the light instead — “warm golden-hour sun from the left”, “soft window light”, “dramatic studio rim light” — and Omni Creator re-renders the lighting while keeping the subject and composition.

What
What is AI relighting?
Relighting changes how a scene is lit after the photo was taken: the direction of the light, how soft the shadows are, and the color of the light. Exposure and white-balance sliders change brightness and tint globally; relighting moves highlights and shadows as if the light source itself had moved.
Because the model re-renders shading, it may also smooth or slightly alter textures. It works best for moderate changes on a well-exposed photo. Turning a night photo into bright midday is a much bigger edit and less predictable.
Use cases
Common relighting jobs
Rescue flat photos
Add direction and depth to an overcast or flash-lit shot.
Match a set
Give images from different shoots the same warm or cool light.
Mood changes
Turn a neutral portrait into golden hour, blue hour or moody studio light.
Why
Why relight instead of adjusting exposure?
Sliders cannot move a shadow. If the problem is direction — light from the wrong side, no shape on a face, a flat product — relighting fixes it in a way global adjustments cannot. For simple brightness or color fixes, a regular photo editor is faster and fully lossless.
- Moves light, not just brightness
- Keeps composition
- Describe light like a photographer

Three ways to change the light
Describe it (Omni Creator)
Moves light direction and shadows from one prompt; textures may soften slightly.
Dodge, burn and masks
Manual local adjustments in an editor — precise, but slow and skill-dependent.
Reshoot with real light
Most natural result when you can control the light source.
