Does it work on faces and products?

Yes. The AI detects 3D structures of both human faces and objects to apply natural lighting wraps and shadows.

Can I change the light source direction?

Yes. You can position virtual lights anywhere (Top, Bottom, Left, Right) to mimic realistic studio setups.

Absolutely. Images are processed securely for the session only and are not stored permanently.

Can I fix underexposed (dark) photos?

Relighting changes light direction and quality. For severely dark photos, we recommend using an exposure corrector first, though Somake can help add fill light.

Can I use this for creative lighting effects?

Yes. By combining different Moods (like "Cinematic") with specific Directions, you can generate artistic lighting that goes beyond simple correction.
