[QUOTE="Brandon LeBlanc, post: 1128806"] Hello Windows Insiders, We’re excited to announce an update to the Microsoft Photos app, now rolling out on Windows 11 across all Insider channels. This release brings powerful new features on Copilot+ PCs, designed to help you enhance, rediscover, and organize your photos with ease. [HEADING=1][B]Relight[/B][/HEADING] The new [B]Relight[/B] feature lets you take control of lighting like never before. You can position up to three light sources, set the light color, and set the focus point where all lights automatically point.

For quicker edits, built-in presets offer ready-made lighting styles that can be applied with a single click. Relight simplifies complex lighting adjustments into a visual, intuitive experience for correcting poor lighting or applying creative effects.
