Quickstart

ILW Light Mapper works in two steps. This whole guide is organized around them.

	What you do	Where you end up
Step 1: Align	Choose your art, then drag its corners until it fits your surface exactly	Your art lines up with the wall, window or object
Step 2: Refine	Mask, warp, color and play it, then save	A finished projection you can save, reopen and cast

You can go back to Step 1 from Step 2 at any time.

Step 1: Align

Get your art onto the surface, in the right place.

On the Main menu, tap NEW PROJECT.
Choose your art. Tap a thumbnail on the VIDEOS tab, then Download if needed, then SELECT. You can also use MY IMPORTS, SHADERS and ONLINE. See Choose artwork.
Fit it to your surface. Four round pins appear at the corners of your art. Drag each pin to the matching corner of your wall, window or object.
Want more than one picture? Tap + GRID to add another layer. Tap CHANGE ART to give it its own video.
When it fits, tap SAVE + CONTINUE to move on to Step 2.

Now shape it and make it look the way you want.

Pick a tool from the TOOLS list on the right:
- Mask: show the art only inside shapes you choose.
- Warp Paint: paint a warp so the art follows curves and bumps.
- Color: change hue, saturation, brightness or tint.
- Background Key: make a color, such as black, transparent.
- Audio and Shader for sound and live visuals.
Use the playback bar along the bottom to play, pause and scrub.
Tap HIDE CONTROLS to see only your projection. Tap anywhere to bring the controls back.
Tap SAVE PROJECT.
