Setting light position and color

You can adjust surface lighting by using preset (simple) lighting or custom lighting. With simple lighting,

you can choose one of eight preset lights. With custom lighting, you can add more light sources, and you

can move and delete light sources. The lighting sphere shows all possible surface angles and how the lights

illuminate them. The light indicators on the sphere show the position of all light sources.

When you disable the Simple lighting option, the lighting sphere appears with a

single light indicator. You can then add more light sources and change their position.

In addition, you can change the color of a light source. For example, you can have multiple colored lights

interact with the depth to produce different textural effects. You should keep in mind that each light

interacts with all the Impasto brushstrokes, so be careful not to set up colored lights that clash with the

colors in your composition or light sources that create unwanted shadows.

The image above uses two different colored light sources.

Setting light properties

You can adjust the appearance of depth, in addition to the intensity and brightness of a light source. The

adjustments that you make to surface lighting affect all Impasto brushstrokes. To change the depth of

individual brushstrokes, you can vary stylus settings or build up media. For more information, see “Blending

impasto with other layers” on page 510. Just as the right lighting can bring out the deep-textured look of

a brushstroke, the wrong lighting can wash out the effect altogether.
