In Incident Light mode, AI analyzes readings collected through the diffuserβno scene image is sent. Each report provides a concise summary and subjective optimization suggestions that account for real-world lighting, subject tone, dynamic range, and creative intent. Measurements provide a reliable baseline. Glowdex helps you interpret that baseline and adapt it to the photograph you want to create.
