SUMMARY
Photoshop's new Relight feature, currently in beta, enables users to manipulate lighting in completed images. By adjusting sliders, one can reposition, soften, and recolor light sources. The feature works by first removing existing light and then applying virtual light. Final renders consume generative credits, while previews are free, though the final output may differ from the preview. Relight performs best on images with clear subjects like portraits or interiors, and has limitations with landscapes and complex composites.
