2. For Light Type, choose Directional.
3. Adjust the light:
To move the light, drag the center circle.
To change the direction of the light, drag the handle at the end of the line to rotate the light’s angle. Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-
drag (Mac OS) to keep the light’s height (line length) constant.
To change the height of the light, drag the handle at the end of the line. Shorten the line for a bright light, and lengthen it for a less
intense one. A very short line produces pure white light; a very long one, no light. Shift-drag to keep the angle constant and change the
height of the light (line length).
Adjust the spotlight using the preview window
1. Choose Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.
2. For Light Type, choose Spotlight.
3. Adjust the light:
To move the light, drag the center circle.
To increase the light angle, drag the handle to shorten the line. To decrease the light angle, drag to lengthen the line.
To stretch the ellipse or rotate the light, drag one of the handles. Shift-drag to keep the angle constant and change only the size of the
ellipse. Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) to keep the size constant and change the angle or direction of the spotlight.
To set the light focus (or spotlight intensity) and control how much of an ellipse is filled with light, drag the Intensity slider: full intensity (a
value of 100) is brightest, normal intensity is about 50, negative intensity takes away light, and –100 intensity produces no light. Use the
Focus slider to control how much of the ellipse is filled with light.
Lighting Effects styles
Use the Style menu in the Lighting Effects dialog box to choose from 17 light styles. You can also create your own lighting style by adding lights to
the Default setting. The Lighting Effects filter requires at least one light source. Only one light can be edited at a time, but all added lights are used
to create the effect.
