Highlights in Studio — How They Work
📌 A quick guide for beginners
🖌️ 1. What is a highlight?
A highlight is a light effect that adds depth and realism to your fabric. It makes satin shine, leather glow, and metallic textures pop.
⚙️ 2. Where to find it?
The Highlight property is automatically created for every layer.
When you start a new project, the app adds both a shadow and a highlight to all base layers by default — no need to add them manually.
🧰 3. How to edit the highlight manually
▪ Click on the desired layer
▪ Select the Highlight property
▪ Go to the Drawing Tools tab (top-left corner)
▪ You’ll see two tools:
— Brush — to paint highlights by hand
— Eraser — to remove them
▪ A pop-up will let you adjust the opacity and color
💡 Tip
Not every fabric needs highlights — matte textures like wool or cotton often look better without them. In other cases, custom highlights can bring depth to folds and edges.
