I did a little bit of PP with the burn tool. Is it obvious its been done? I've learned over my measly 20 years of life that the best way to learn is to have people tear you apart. Go!

touji THREAD STARTER Senior Member 891 posts Likes: 1 Joined Oct 2011 Location: Northern Virginia More info | Nov 28, 2011 15:32 | #6 Here's a setup of the box. It was built with PVC and white Muslin fabric. I'm using a white poster board backing and using printer paper underneath the object (still trying to get a piece of glass). I just have a desk lamp (I think it has 3 florescent bulbs) and use a Quantaray QDC 900WA to fill. This was taken with my Droid 1, so sorry for the super low quality picture.

Is it the lack of monitor calibration that makes it so hard for me to see those lines?
