## Key Features

### Two Relighting Modes

| Mode                      | Description                                                                                        |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **IC-Light V2 (Precise)** | 3D depth-aware relighting with manual control over light direction, brightness, color, and quality |
| **Relighting Styles**     | One-click preset-based relighting with curated cinematic lighting styles                           |

### Light Direction Control

In IC-Light V2 mode, choose from multiple light directions — top, front, left, right, back, or bottom — to position your virtual light source exactly where you need it.

### Soft vs. Hard Lighting

Toggle between soft light (diffused, even illumination) and hard light (sharp shadows, dramatic contrast) to match your creative intent.

### Brightness & Color

Fine-tune the brightness level (0-100%) and pick a custom light color using the color picker or hex input. Create warm golden hour tones, cool blue moods, or vibrant colored lighting.

### Style Presets

In Relighting Styles mode, select from a library of curated lighting presets — natural, studio, dramatic, neon, and more — for instant cinematic results.

### Optional Prompt Context

Add an optional text prompt to guide the relighting further (e.g., "warm sunset lighting" or "dramatic rim light from behind").
