Frequently Asked Questions
What is Light Depth?
Light Depth is an AI-powered tool that recreates natural light and depth in your photos. It analyzes distance within the scene to generate a depth map and applies realistic light falloff, adding natural dimension and focus.
What’s the difference between Light Depth and Relight AI?
Light Depth replaces Relight AI with a more advanced approach to lighting. While Relight AI adjusted overall brightness and color temperature to relight a photo evenly, Light Depth goes further. It understands the distance between objects and applies realistic light falloff based on depth, giving you more control over how light behaves.
Who can benefit from Light Depth?
Light Depth is a go-to for anyone who wants to add atmosphere and focus to their photos without complex manual edits. It’s especially valuable for:
Portrait photographers: make subjects stand out with realistic depth and soft background light
Landscape creators: add natural volume and atmosphere to skies, hills, or foggy scenes
Travel and lifestyle photographers: balance light between foreground and distance for true-to-eye realism
Product photographers: simulate soft, directional lighting that enhances form and texture
Social media and creative editors: build cinematic light and mood in seconds
This tool helps any creator turn flat photos into lifelike, expressive images with depth and balance.
Can Light Depth be applied to specific parts of a photo?
Yes. Light Depth adapts to the structure of your image and lets you emphasize certain areas naturally. You can highlight faces, objects, or any focal point while keeping the rest soft and balanced. The AI applies transitions smoothly—no halos, harsh edges, or unnatural lighting.
