Detailed result requirements

Required inputs

Required photo to relight (1 image) + required target time of day or lighting mood (one set)

Input quality

Original image and clarify desired light direction/atmosphere.

Composition

No universal public standard is available. Check the requirements of the platform or service you will use.

Output aspect ratio

Set the output canvas from the selected platform placement or production template, not from a reference image. Choose the option that matches this request: Relight photos working canvas — 4:3 (recommended). Use a different ratio only when a verified placement or production template requires it. If the platform does not require a fixed aspect ratio, use 4:3 as the recommended working canvas for relight photos. Compose the subject with appropriate breathing room. Create one aspect-ratio-specific deliverable per request; generate each additional placement as a separate output. Recompose for the selected ratio while preserving the complete subject, all text, and every required safe area. Never stretch the subject or treat cropping important content as adaptation.

What stays unchanged

Person/object structure and visible facts.

What can change

The light direction can be adjusted for portraits; more generally, adjustment layers/Smart Filters should be used for color correction.
