LANDSCAPE LIGHTING SOFTWARE & LIGHTING EFFECTS
Outdoor Night Lighting Design Software
Landscape Lighting Software puts a powerful visualization tool right at your fingertips. Featuring fixtures from leading manufacturers, it lets contractors and designers easily drop and position authentic outdoor lighting fixtures onto a daytime photo of any project site and show how it will look in the evening.
Watch the demo on the left to see a complete outdoor lighting design come to life—from start to finish!

Tutorial 1: Preparing Your Before Image
- Opening the photo-imaging software and importing a JPEG image from your digital camera, phone, or samples folder
- Resizing the photo to an optimal 1200–1600-pixel width for better performance and easier navigation
- Adjusting brightness and contrast with the Color Levels tool to make shaded areas pop
- Cleaning up the image by removing distractions (e.g., existing wall lights or plants) using the Clone Tool for seamless texture matching and the Define Area + Warp Tools for precise object replacement
Tutorial 2: Placing Landscape Lighting Fixtures
- Open the Object Library and browse hundreds of fixtures
- Double-click to place a fixture, then resize using corner handles and reposition by dragging
- Quickly replace a fixture by dragging a new one over it
- Save time with the Duplicate Tool
- Select several fixtures, then use the Group Tool
- Use Flip Horizontal to correct the up-light direction
- Master the Warp Tool
- Save As JPEG — ready to import into Landscape Lighting Effects for nighttime rendering
Tutorial 3: Applying Realistic Nighttime Effects
- Save as .LND — keeps all fixtures movable and adjustable
- Export as .jpg — this frozen image becomes the canvas for applying effects in the Lighting Effects Program
- Open the separate Landscape Lighting Effects program.
- Use the Open Image icon to import your saved JPEG
- Moon icons for applying darkness overlays
- Lighting Tool and Draw Tool (both create light by cutting through darkness).
- Adjust Intensity slider and Control Light Width slider: Low values for sharp, focused beams; higher natural spill, halos, and realistic fade-out.

**ABOUT US:** With over 35 years of experience in the software industry, we began our journey in New York under the name "Design Imaging Group," where we developed our first program, "DesignWare." Following that, we created "Planscape" and a Quoting System, and later "Splash," which is specifically designed for the pool industry. For nearly 20 years, I collaborated with the original programmer to develop "GreenScapes," tailored for landscapers and hardscape contractors, as well as "Landscape Lighting Software" for outdoor lighting professionals. Additionally, we developed "Deco-Con," designed for the decorative concrete industry.
All these solutions are part of our Landscape Design Imaging Software offerings.
