Lumeni vs Shadow Studio

Bad light ruins even a great shot. Lumeni helps you fix it in seconds. Instead of another filter, Lumeni lets you move the light inside your photo. Place the light from any side, brighten faces, soften shadows and fix backlight with simple gestures. It feels natural, like working with real light, not presets. What Lumeni can do: • Studio Light Move a virtual light source: left, right, above or from the side. Adjust light power and ambient fill. Light falls off with distance and objects cast shadows, like with a real lamp • On-device Deep analysis Studio Light Deep maps the depth of your scene. The photo is processed right on your iPhone • Assistant Tap the assistant button at the top of the editor, next to Back, and describe the result in your own words. The edit plays out in the panel, and Weaker, Stronger, Before and Undo are one tap away. Check photo shows what can be improved and fixes each issue with a tap.
