Corel Painter includes a series of preset lighting effects that you can apply to your images. The lighting effects allow you to quickly change the intensity or direction of the image lighting. You can apply a preset lighting environment without making any changes, or you can use it as a starting point for customized lighting. For more information, see Adding, deleting, and repositioning lights or Adjusting light properties.
