Note that clicking the ‘take’ button under the camera will give you what you see on the screen and not what the camera sees, so you have to move into the camera view mode before this if you want the “real” view.

Using various modifier keys you get to make adjustments to the lighting and your camera (and view) position.

The controls are non-standard and some details, like being able to have two flyout menus open at once that overlap each other, plus fairly un-intuitive controls, and and almost hidden ones (such as the lens zoom slider along the left hand side of the window) make some of the UI almost user hostile. I’m not going to lie, the UI here isn’t the best. It’s a 3D environment with a GUI that does an OK job of moving things around. How it works is how I mostly described already. Honestly even if this only tickles your interest a tiny bit, it’s only seven dollars, which is a damn fine price even if you never use it. No lugging of gear out from the basement, no realizing that the batteries in my third flash unit need recharging, no need to find a model to work with at midnight on a Monday night. But right now I’m sitting here in my living room, at almost midnight, without pants on, and I’ve been experimenting with three to five light setups for the last hour. Of course you should be doing this experimenting in real life.
#Photo light pro full
Same if you want to shot other things, like cars, motorcycles, guitars… full body models, nude models, head and shoulders shots, or even to fully control the gestures of a model and get just the right mix of anger, sadness, and the perfect tilt of the head, all controlled from your computer.

If this appeals to you, then this is for you. Imagine if you were able to move all those lights around without actually running to them, moving them, taking a shot to see how it looks, moving again, tweaking, fiddling… all the stuff that real life models hate when we do. Imagine you could spend as much time as you wanted with a great looking model in a huge studio with a ton of different lights and options.
#Photo light pro software
This software is for people who are interested in experimenting with studio lighting for portraiture (and some other things, more about that in a minute). So these guys saw the potential of this for doing lighting setups if you can make it really, really easy. You’ve probably also noticed how… “challenging” (i.e.: bloody hard) it is to do anything useful without a PHD of splines and nodal points. If you’ve ever played with any 3D modelling software you have probably seen how you can move lights around the virtual environment and see their effects on the other objects you’ve placed.
