Add dramatic lighting effects to your Photoshop Touch images non-destructively. Russell Brown demonstrates a technique for adding lighting to your image using a separate layer – thus allowing for infinite edits.

Photographers will often tell you that "It's all about the lighting", and this sneak experiments with playing with lighting after the fact. Tweak image lighting based on selected samples, and turn your home movies into blockbuster hits (or at least make them look the part) by adjusting lighting modeled on any movie you choose. It is early prototype technology that we are working on in our development labs. This is not part of Photoshop CC or After Effects CC, but is an example of capabilities that we could include in future years.
