Light effects from the presets list can be applied to the image right away. Follow the instruction below:
- Step 1. Select a light effect from the list of presets by left-clicking it. The chosen light effect will be marked by a red frame.
- Step 2. Press the button
 to see the light effect in the Image Window.
- Step 3. Adjust the light effect parameters, such as Color, Brightness, Opacity, Scale, and Angle. These parameters are set in the left part of the AKVIS Lightshop workspace under the Image Window. The adjustment of these parameters does not influence the individual settings of the effect's elements. See Common Parameters.
- Step 4. Position the light effect on the image by dragging it with the left mouse button.
- Step 5. Select a Blend mode for applying the light effect to the image. See Common Parameters.
- Step 6. Press the button
 to apply the result and close the LightShop window (in the plugin version) or save the image by pressing the button  (in the standalone version).
Note! In the list of presets (in addition to the light effects created by AKVIS) you can also see the user presets saved into the folder specified in the Options dialog. By default, your presets are saved into the folder:
Windows: Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\AKVIS LLC\LightShop\Presets
Macintosh: Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/AKVIS LLC/LightShop/Presets.
You can specify a different folder. In the presets list you will only see the presets saved in this folder.
