How it works

1 · Upload your photo

Start with any well-composed image — portrait, product shot, or scene. Resolution of at least 800px on the short side produces the best results.

2 · Describe the new lighting

Specify direction, color temperature, softness, and mood. For example: 'warm rim light from the right, cool ambient fill, soft shadows'.

3 · Review the relit version

Mintdreamer generates the relit image. Inspect shadows, highlights, and color temperature to confirm the result matches your intent.

4 · Download and use

Export the output at full resolution. It slots directly into your existing workflow — no additional retouching needed for most use cases.

What it costs

Flux Kontext Pro starts at 8 credits per output at default settings. Check your settings and total in Studio before running.

Made for

Photographers can offer clients alternate lighting moods from a single shoot, increasing deliverable count without added studio time.

Social media content creators

Creators can adapt a single photo to different platform aesthetics — warm and golden for Instagram, cooler and moodier for editorial content.

E-commerce merchandisers

Merchandising teams can standardize lighting across a mixed catalog sourced from different photographers, creating visual consistency.

Questions

Does this work on any type of photo?+
It works best on portraits and product photography with a single clear subject. Complex multi-subject scenes with mixed existing lighting can produce less predictable results.
Can I specify an exact light position like '45 degrees above left'?+
Yes. Directional descriptions in the prompt are respected. The more specific your lighting description, the more accurately the output matches.
Will the background change when I relight?+
The background lighting adjusts to match the new light source for a consistent scene. If you want only the subject relit, specify that in the prompt.
Is this useful for RAW files?+
Upload a JPG or PNG export from your RAW editor. The AI relighting works on rendered images, not raw sensor data.
How is AI relighting different from color grading?+
Color grading shifts tones uniformly. AI relighting recalculates where light actually falls in the scene — changing shadow direction and highlight shape, not just overall color.
