Common Uses

...

The Raw Total Lighting Render Element is useful for changing the appearance of the entire lighting of the scene, after rendering, using a compositing or image editing application. Below are a couple of examples of possible uses. The first two images show the render element itself and the Beauty render put together. In the following examples, a Matte Render Element was used to isolate different parts of the scene, and then the A Cryptomatte Render Element  is used to isolate the floor, the windows along with the curtains and the stone fence, and the ceiling. Then the Raw Total Lighting Render Element was brightened is brightened and tinted differently for each element to show the range of editing possible.
