Straight out of the studio — slide to compare.
A photograph is a record of light, which means changing the light is the deepest remake there is. The same face under a soft window reads gentle; carved by a side light it turns cinematic; backlit it becomes a shape. Studios spend thousands of dollars and hours of setup chasing those differences. Here they are a menu.
The portrait entries are the genuine classics, not approximations: Rembrandt plants its little triangle of light on the shadowed cheek, butterfly drops a symmetrical shadow under the nose for the glamour look, split cuts the face in half, rim traces a bright line around the silhouette. Past the studio wall sit the mood pieces — candlelight, fire glow, neon cyberpunk, film noir — which re-render shadow, warmth, and falloff together.
Flat flash portraits are the natural patient: one press trades the deer-in-headlights look for something a photographer would sign. It also unifies mismatched shoots, dramatizes product shots under a spotlight, and turns a street scene noir. Run Color Correction first when the source has a cast; relighting works best on a neutral base.

Questions, answered
What is Rembrandt lighting, and when do I want it?
A classic portrait setup named for the painter: key light high and to one side, leaving a small triangle of light on the shadow-side cheek. It adds sculpture and seriousness — strong for character portraits, less so for bubbly team pages.
Can I relight only the subject and leave the room alone?
The press relights the frame as one scene, because light that stops at the subject's outline is precisely what looks fake. For a subject-only adjustment, describe it in the AI Editor instead.
Which setups suit product photography?
Studio Soft for clean catalog neutrality, Spotlight for drama on dark backgrounds, Rim to draw a bright edge around bottles and hardware. Try all three from one upload; the differences are bigger than they sound.
Does Silhouette really black out the subject?
It backlights the scene so the subject reads as a dark shape against the glow — detail is intentionally surrendered for graphic punch. Use it on subjects whose outline is the story: dancers, couples, city skylines.
