Original image

Filter “Lighting Effects” applied

This filter simulates the effect you get when you light up a wall with a spot. It doesn't produce any drop shadows and, of course, doesn't reveal any new details in dark zones.

#### 5.4.2. Activate the filter

This filter is found in the image window menu under Filters → Light and Shadow → Lighting Effects.

#### 5.4.3. Options

Preview

  When Interactive is checked, parameter setting results are interactively displayed in preview without modifying the image until you click on OK button.

  If Interactive is not checked, changes are displayed in preview only when you click on the Update button. This option is useful with a slow computer.
