The Gallery in the Casambi app is the most natural way to

tapping ‘Edit’ and after that the ‘+’ sign.

2. After you have added a photo you can add lamp
controls to the picture. Tap on the ‘+’ sign, select a lamp
control that you want to add to the picture, locate it
over the controlled luminaire and tap ‘Done’.
