Mystical Lighting from Auto FX Software lets users improve the look and feel of their images by controlling the very essence of photography: lighting and shading. Digital photographers can now set the tone and ambiance for the shot without needing elaborate lighting setups, expensive equipment and subjects where lighting conditions cannot be controlled or manipulated.

Mystical Lighting includes layers, layer presets that record and replay effects, masking layers and unlimited undo capability. allowing you to achieve photo-realistic results in minutes.

16 dynamically generated visual effects offer an infinite variety of styles to choose from including:

  • Edge Highlights
  • Ethereal
  • FairyDust
  • Flare
  • Light Brush
  • Light Caster
  • Mist
  • Mottled Background
  • Radial Light Caster
  • Rainbow
  • Shader
  • Shading Brush
  • ShadowPlay
  • Spotlight
  • SurfaceLight
  • Wispy Mist
