Lumilyze – Lighting from Photo

Lumilyze reads the lighting from a single photo. Pick a photo — one of your own, or one you'd like to learn from — and Lumilyze works out where each light was, how far away and how high, and what kind of gear it was. It draws the setup as a top-down diagram and in 3D, and puts arrows on your photo showing where the light comes from. HOW IT WORKS Lumilyze works with the AI chat app you already use, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — any app that accepts a photo. 1. Choose a photo, or take one. 2. Tap Send to AI app. Lumilyze shares the photo with a ready-made prompt. 3. Copy the whole reply, come back and paste it. No API key and no sign-up. Before sharing, Lumilyze redraws the photo on your device, so its location and other metadata are left out. WHAT YOU GET • A top-down diagram of every light, with the subject, camera and background • 3D view from an angle, from the camera or from the key light • Numbered arrows on your photo, and the clues behind each light • Light details: direction, distance, height, modifier and power • Easy edits with buttons, or drag the lights on the diagram • Three sample photos with their analyses, and 9 of the 69 sample setups • History of your latest 5 analyses LUMILYZE PRO — one-time purchase • Compare: the photo and the diagram side by side, light by light • Recipe: camera settings and a checklist for placing the gear • All 69 sample setups: 22 classic lighting setups, and 47 examples rebuilt from lighting tutorials by camera and lighting makers, each linked to the original article • Unlimited history • 3D from the camera and the key light for your own photos • Export: 3D images, and save and open JSON No subscription, no ads, no account. PRIVACY Lumilyze has no server. Your photo goes only to the AI app you choose, and your history stays on your device. The result is an estimate read from the photo, so treat it as a starting point — distance and power are often hard to tell from a photo alone. When the photo records its camera settings, Lumilyze uses them.
