Or you can select a luminance on the Luminances Palette, right-click and select Edit Luminance.

Complex luminances can contain up to five light types; each type is represented by a page on the Luminance Editor. For each page, select the desired light type (see Luminance Properties), and edit its parameters as needed. The available parameters depend on the selected light type. In the Preview section, you can change the shape and orientation of the preview object and desk (the surface beneath the object). Under Options, you can toggle the display of the preview object or desk. If Auto Update is checked, the preview will update each time a change is made (otherwise you must click the Preview button).

 

The toolbar on the right side of the editor allows you to specify the elements of the preview.

You can navigate within the preview window using the center mouse button.
