Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 9:34 pm Hi folks - I need your help again. This is specimen #3 I could use your opinions on. I attempted to soften the lighting without losing details (e.g. the steps) but a partial compromise. I'll attempt some soften lighting a bit more to draw out details, but these are reasonably good. Let me know your thoughts and thank you for having a look! Softened Lighting Edited by Rackster 06/20/2016 9:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1606 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 06:47 am Do you do Photoshop? If so, try blending the two (maybe as Smart Objects) and play with the opacity of each. Just seems like the first is too harsh and you lose detail with the softer light. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 09:02 am Hi folks - I changed my desk and lighting setup a few months back and since I've not played enough with the set up and lighting to knock down glare and maintain detail. Unfortunately the time I get is limited and late at night. Just some added challenge. Report this Post to the Staff
