| 3 | In the preview window, click an indicator to select it. |
| 4 | Adjust any of the following sliders: |
| • | Brightness — controls the light intensity |
| • | Distance — controls how far the light is from the image. If you move the light source closer, you can compensate for the increased light by adjusting the Exposure slider. |
| • | Elevation — sets the light’s angle in relation to the canvas. At 90°, the light is shining straight down, and at 1°, it’s nearly horizontal. |
| • | Spread — sets the angle of the light cone |
| • | Exposure — controls the image’s brightness, as in photography. Moving the slider to the left decreases exposure and darkens the image; moving it to the right increases exposure and lightens the image. |
| • | Ambient — controls the surrounding light in an image. If you have no light indicators in the preview window, the ambient lighting controls the overall lightness of the image. Moving the slider to the left darkens the overall lighting; moving it to the right increases the light. |
