Cinematic Relighting: reshape light without changing the scene

Image Input
Prompt result
Ready prompt
Use case: physically coherent cinematic relighting
Input image: the attached image, the scene to relight
Lighting scenario: soft window light at dusk
Mood: hopeful and cinematic
Final format: 4:5 portrait

Primary request: Relight the attached image as soft window light at dusk with a hopeful and cinematic mood while keeping the original scene, subjects, camera position, and composition unchanged.

Preservation: Keep every face, body, object, material, logo, architectural feature, and spatial relationship recognizable. Do not replace or redesign scene content.

Light design: Establish a clear key, fill, rim, practical, and ambient-light logic appropriate to the requested scenario. Recalculate shadow direction, softness, density, contact shadows, reflected light, color bleed, and specular highlights across the entire image.

Material response: Make skin, fabric, glass, metal, water, painted surfaces, and foliage respond differently and realistically. Preserve believable skin tone under the new illumination.

Exposure: Protect highlight detail and readable shadows. Match atmospheric haze, depth, grain, and lens response so the edit feels captured in-camera.

Constraints: Do not change identity, pose, geometry, wardrobe, weather, or scene layout. Avoid crushed blacks, clipped highlights, fake glow, inconsistent shadows, extra light sources, and plastic skin. Add no text or watermark.

Output: Return only one polished relit image in 4:5 portrait.
