Hard Light blending.

Create a strong light-and-shadow composite.

Hard Light combines a shaped tonal source with the moving portrait. A gradient controls shadow and highlight, and the blend strength remains editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. Create a high-contrast lighting study with a large coastal portrait on the right and Exposure words on the left. A multi-stop diagonal grayscale gradient blends through Hard Light, creating directional shadow and highlight while preserving enough source detail. Reveal it to 62 percent opacity and hold.

Tesseract plugins and runtime downloads are coming soon.
