Lighting is, arguably, the most important ingredient when it comes to taking a good photo. If you have a Pixel phone, you can fix lighting after the fact with a feature in Google Photos called Portrait Light.<\/p>\n

Portrait Light is exclusive to Pixel phones, starting with the Google Pixel 2 and newer. It allows you to change where the lighting source is positioned if the original photo is lacking. It\u2019s easy to use and surprisingly effective.<\/p>\n

This feature is specifically for photos of people, and won\u2019t app<\/a>ear as an option for images of pets or anything else. Make sure the Google Photos app<\/a> is up to date before you use it.<\/p>\n

To get started, open the \u201cGoogle Photos\u201d app on your Pixel phone and find a photo that could use a lighting adjustment. We\u2019ve found that Portrait Light works best on selfies.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Swipe from the right on the bottom row, and then tap \u201cAdjust.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

If you can use it on that particular image, \u201cPortrait Light\u201d will be an option in the adjustment toolbar; tap it.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

A circular handle will float over the top of the photo, indicating where the lighting source is located. Simply drag the circle around the image to adjust the lighting.<\/p>\n

\"Drag<\/p>\n

Under the photo, you can also drag the slider to adjust the brightness of the lighting.<\/p>\n

\"Drag<\/p>\n

Tap \u201cAuto\u201d to move the lighting to a position that matches the original photo if you want to adjust the brightest from there.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re happy with the lighting, tap \u201cDone\u201d to proceed.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Finally, tap \u201cSave Copy\u201d to save your changes.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Portrait Light can have a pretty remarkable effect on images that have poor lighting. It\u2019s a powerful tool that can help you get the most out of your smartphone\u2019s camera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
