• 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.
Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag
(Mac OS) to keep the size constant and change the
angle or direction of the spotlight.
To set the light focus (or spotlight intensity) and
•
control how much of an ellipse is filled with light,
drag the Intensity slider: full intensity (a value of
100) is brightest; normal intensity is about 50;
negative intensity takes away light; and 0 intensity
produces no light. Use the Focus slider to control
how much of the ellipse is filled with light.
Click OK to apply the filter.

Choosing a Lighting Effects style
Use the Style menu in the Lighting Effects dialog
box to choose from 17 light styles. You can also
create your own lighting style by adding lights to
any setting. The Lighting Effects filter requires at
least one light source. Only one light can be edited
at a time, but all added lights will be used to create
the effect.
