Hi,
After trying a few different approaches, my current setup is to shoot with my articles lying on the light box, which has a white plexiglass panel and led illuminated inside. I have three compact flourescent lights on stands with softboxes attached to light the product. I'm finding that I have to have the exposure on the product higher than I'd like it to be to overexpose the background (the light box), then I'm bringing the exposure back down in lightroom. I'm shooting raw with a D90.
My problem is, that often when I bring the exposure back down to where it should be, I can't seem to get the colors just right, even though I'm taking a picture of a gray card and using the color picker in lightroom to set the white balance from the gray card. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work better, with the equipment I already have?
Thank you for your help...I need this store to be successful for my two little girls' sake.
