Catchlight and Glistening_eyes seems to be the same thing, but the catchlight tag is undertagged. Could someone help me understand it?

Looks like Catchlight is supposed to be when it actually reflects the shape of things, while Glistening is when it's just random light in the eyes.

Maybe I misunderstood what you said, but we do have a tag for the when the eyes reflect something and this one also implicates glistening_eyes.

Catchlight should only be used in the technical sense of an artificial light source positioned above or next to a camera for the sole purpose of producing glistening in eyes, that is, it should only be used if the light source itself is depicted (say, in a film set or portrait studio).

"the effect produced by a catchlight" has no meaningful difference from glistening_eyes.

I mean the shape of light-objects. For example, if you see light reflecting in the shape of a window, or the moon.
...Although, taking another look at the glistening_eyes wiki, it's for "reflective eyes". Eye_Reflection is for when you see the full object, glistening applies even if it's vague, blurry reflections. Catchlight, then, would be when it's light being reflected?
