Relight

# Relight

Change how a still is lit — direction, color temperature, intensity, mood — without redoing the shot. This skill routes to Qwen Edit 2509's dedicated relight LoRA when a purpose-built relighting endpoint matters, and to identity-preserving edit endpoints when prose lighting language is enough.

## Pick the right model

Listed newest first.

**Qwen Edit 2509 Relight LoRA** — `qwen/qwen-edit-2509/lora/relight` *(default for dedicated relighting)*
> Purpose-built relighting LoRA on Qwen Edit 2509. Tuned specifically for changing lighting direction, color temperature, intensity, and mood while preserving subject identity, pose, and framing.
> Pick for: precise lighting control ("golden hour key light from left, soft fill from right, no rim"), brand product relighting, portrait mood shifts.
> Avoid for: edits that aren't really about lighting — use generic image edit.

**Nano Banana 2 Edit** — `google/nano-banana-2/edit`
> Identity-preserving edit driven by spatial / prose language. Lighting changes via prompt: `"convert to golden hour with warm key light from the left"`.
> Pick for: lighting change as part of a broader edit pass (also swapping background, adding objects).
> Avoid for: relighting-only when you want maximum lighting fidelity — use Qwen Edit Relight.

**GPT Image 2 Edit** — `openai/gpt-image-2/edit`
> Multi-ref edit; can reference an image with the target lighting style and apply it.
> Pick for: "match the lighting of this reference photo" workflows with explicit reference images.
> Avoid for: pure prose lighting description — Qwen Edit Relight wins.

**FLUX Kontext Pro** — `blackforestlabs/flux-1-kontext/pro/edit`
> Single-instruction, high-preservation. Use form: `"Keep everything exactly. Change the lighting to soft window light from the left, late-afternoon warm temperature."`
> Pick for: surgical lighting tweak on one image without affecting anything else.
