Light Depth

Light Depth adds natural depth and dimensional lighting to your photos — transforming flat, evenly lit images into scenes that feel alive.

It automatically mimics the classic Dodge and Burn technique, letting you sculpt light and shadow with just a few intuitive sliders. The result is effortless, realistic volume that enhances portraits, landscapes, and product shots alike.

The tool understands distance and structure within your image using AI-powered depth mapping. It adds light where it naturally belongs, deepens shadows, lifts highlights, and restores a sense of space and atmosphere — as if you were painting with light, but without the manual work.

You can use it to:

  • Give portraits more contour and warmth

  • Add distance and dimension to landscapes

  • Define shape and direction in product photography

Light Depth helps your images breathe and tell a more vivid story.
