Add a gleam to your photos with the unique LEDVANCE Light-Painter! No matter whether you are talking about vacation photos, selfies or everyday snapshots – you can add a personal touch to them in a snap with the help of the Light-Painter app. How? It's a piece of cake! Just select a background. This can be your own photo or one found in our many image templates. You then select a paintbrush, the brush size and the color. Various effects can be produced with the different types of brushes – from a shimmering light to dual strands of light and 3D effects. Tap the brush that you want to use and then set the brush size by moving the slider from left to right with your finger. After everything is just the way you want it, you can close the control panel and get started. Use light to accentuate your images and add a message at will. You can also select something from the Light-Painter templates that you can integrate into your photo. Don’t like the result? Simply use the eraser to remove certain areas or go back one work step using the back arrow. Once you have finished your piece of art, you can save it and share it with your friends. You can use your self-designed images as background photos for your smartphone, as an enhancement for your social media account or as a special greeting card. What are you waiting for? Pick up a brush and create a sparkle!
