What's New in FaceRef Studio

1.0.1

October 19, 2026

Lighting presets Ten slots to save a whole three-light setup at once - the colour, brightness and direction of every light. Name a slot, load it back whenever you need it, and it stays on your device between sessions. The first row puts every light back to the lighting the app ships with, so a setup that has wandered off is always one tap from a known start. A new way to aim a light Each light's direction is now set by dragging its dot around a shaded ball instead of three sliders. The ball previews the lighting on a sphere as you move, and the outer ring reaches round behind the model for rim and back light. Built for fingers Dragging the light ball or the colour wheel now moves the handle by how far your finger travels, so the point you are choosing is never hidden under your fingertip. A tap still picks the spot you tapped. Handles and light dots are sized to stay comfortable on a phone screen. Also in this version - The Lighting tab is split into Light and Presets, and the colour wheel now stays open instead of hiding behind a swatch. - The hue ring picks the colour under your finger. It used to measure the angle from the top of the wheel, so the handle landed away from where you pressed. - Taps on high-density screens are no longer mistaken for tiny drags, which stopped the colour wheel from picking the point you tapped. - The panel rises above the on-screen keyboard while you type a preset name, instead of the keyboard covering the field. - Set as default and Reset light have been replaced by presets and the App default row, which do both jobs for all three lights at once.
