Lights
Edit workspace
The Lights effect uses up to five spotlights to apply lighting to an
image. You can set the intensity, direction, color, and origin of the light
source. You can access the Lights dialog box by choosing Effects
Illumination Effects Lights.
The Lights dialog box contains the following controls:
• Darkness — determines the darkness of the non-illuminated areas
of the image
• Light source buttons — lets you choose the spotlights you want to
apply. You can also click the light dots on the image in the Before
pane.
• On — lets you turn individual spotlights on or off. To turn a
spotlight off, you can click the light source button (or the
spotlight in the Before pane) and then unmark the On check box.
• Color — lets you choose a color for the spotlight. You can click the
color box to access the Color dialog box, or right-click the color
box to access the Recent Colors dialog box.
• Intensity — sets the brightness of the spotlight
• Direction — sets the lighting direction. The needle points to the
direction of the light source, measured in degrees of rotation
around the circle. To set the value, you can drag the needle, click
in the circle, set or type a number in the control, or click the
spotlight in the Before pane and drag its center arm.
• Horizontal — positions the light source horizontally. For each
light, a value of 0 indicates the center of the image. Positive values
produce movement to the right, and negative values produce
movement to the left.
