Step 4: Drag The Light Source To Reposition It
As we saw in the preview window, the light source is currently located in the center of the image, which isn't where I want it. I want it to be coming from the center of the flower she's holding, so I need to reposition it, which is easy to do.
The light source is surrounded by a circle with four square handles on it, and a small circle in the middle. To reposition the light source, I'm just going to click on that small circle in the center with my mouse and drag the light to a new location. I'll drag it over the flower:
Now we can see in the preview that the light is coming from the flower.
Step 5: Resize The Light Source If Needed
I'm going to increase the size of my light source by dragging the top handle upward:
With the Flashlight style we're using here, it doesn't matter which handle you use, since the light is in a circle. Other lighting styles will give you different results depending on which handle you drag. Again, it makes no difference with the Flashlight style.
We're going to add more lights to our image next.
