Contains these options for the image you’re shining the light on:

•

Determines how much the surface reflects light, from Matte (low reflectance) to Shiny (high reflectance).

•

Determines whether the light or the object on which the light is cast reflects more light. Plastic reflects the 

light’s color; Metallic reflects the object’s color.

•

Increases the light (positive values) or decreases the light (negative values). A value of 0 has no effect.

•

Diffuses the light as if it were combined with other light in a room, such as sunlight or fluorescent light. 

Choose a value of 100 to use only the light source, or a value of -100 to completely diffuse the light source.

•

Displays the Color Picker so you can change the color of the ambient light. Click this white box to use it.

Contains these options for creating a texture for the image you’re shining the light on:

•

Lets you select the red, green, and blue color channels in your image so you can manipulate 

how light reflects off of each channel, creating a texture effect. You can also choose to use the layer transparency of the 
active layer to create a texture effect.

•

Raises the light parts of the channel from the surface. Deselect this option to raise the dark parts.

•

Varies the depth of the texture from Flat (0) to Mountainous (100).

Do any of the following in the Lighting Effects preview, depending on the type of light:

•

(Directional, Omni, and Spotlights) To move the light, drag the center circle. 

•

(Directional lights) To change the direction of the light, drag the handle at the end of the line at an angle from the 
line. Command-drag to keep the light’s height constant. 

•

(Directional lights) To change the height of the light, drag the handle at the end of the line in the direction of the 
line. Shift-drag to keep the angle constant and change the light’s height (line length).

•

(Omni lights) To increase or decrease the size of the light, drag one of the handles defining the edges of the light.

•

(Spotlights) To change the light angle, drag the handle at the end of the line.

•

(Spotlights) 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. Command-drag to keep the size constant and change the angle or direction 
of the spotlight.

The Texture Fill filter uses a grayscale Photoshop image as a texture for an image.
