How do you change the lighting of an existing image?

On Higgsfield: Relight fixes a photo whose main problem is exposure or light direction, such as an underexposed portrait or harsh flash shadows, and in Figma it lines up a stock photo's light with a generated background. After a prompt edit, Higgsfield Upscale takes the photo to 2K or 4K.

Without Higgsfield: Open the photo in Nano Banana Pro or GPT Image and describe the change in a prompt: brighter, warmer, more contrast.

Axis: a relight tool with preset light directions … re-prompting the image with new lighting
