Light is a really cool way to add lights to pictures on the iPhone. There are many different kinds of lights that look like they are coming through windows. Each light can be shaped and placed as well as blended and brightened. This app is really easy to use and it is a fun way to play with pictures and make something interesting.

Light can be added to a scene where none existed before just as if you were adding light at the time of photography. Realistic lighting and shadow is introduced using digital versions of the gobo library created by Gamproducts. For more information on Gamproducts gobos, please visit their website at www.gamonline.com.

Gobos, or patterns, are widely used by lighting designers in theatre, film, photography and television to create atmosphere, project scenery, and generally enhance the visual impact of their lighting. Normally used in front of lights during photography, these same exact patterns can be applied digitally to the entire image or inside a selected area. Gobos from the Gamproducts collection are included with Light and are arranged into the following categories: Breakups, Foliage, Lights, Sky and Windows.

Don’t settle for bland photos. Spice up your images with Light, just like Hollywood cameraman and photographers do. See the Light!

Needs work - 2 stars - October 30, 2009
This could be a great app and when it works well it is. The main problem is there are significant delay and sometimes no response from the program during certain edits. Then have to shut down the program and lose the work that has taken time to create. This is in sore need of some updates to remedy these problems,
Money - 1 star - September 23, 2009
I want it back....
Meh - 2 stars - September 23, 2009
It's $2 and on an iPhone, so I guess my expectations should be low, but I found the app clunky and of minimal use. It started of promising enough with plenty of options and patterns, but applying any changes is painstakingly slowwww. I'd say wait on this one. They'll either improve it or drop it to .99c
Astonishing! Pure magic. - 5 stars - August 2, 2009
First of all, you have to understand that this app requires you to take some time to understand how it works. Because it's so processor-intensive, you have to be a little patient. You also can't expect to rescue a bad picture with the addition of light effects. When I first tried Light, I knew I'd have to come back to it when I had time to really get to know it. Now I can say this is easily one of my favorite photography apps. There are dozens of lights to choose from, and infinite angles, sizes and parmeters to choose from, making this a tool for people who love to get lost in creating art for the joy of it. For instance, you can spend an hour on one photo, saving a version, then trying something different, ending up with 20 versions to choose from. However, if you are not known for your attention span, maybe this is not for you. For me, I'll be watching closely to see what Digital Film Tools will come up with next.
great app - 5 stars - June 27, 2009
this is a terrific extra feature. there are many choices to work with and the effect is great, particularly the foliage effects. it's a trifle tricky to enlarge or shrink the light effect. other than that, it's a beautiful little effect, I'm glad I bought it. Portraits look terrific w light & shadow on them.
