im triggering with YN622c - i read you can go beyond 1/200 if flash is at 1/1 but its not working for me? im using PCsync to 3.5mm port

just by changing levels

I like the first one more. In the second one the cheeks/chin and upper part of the forehead are much darker then the area around the eyes.

By the way a nice idea of the MUA and/or hairstylist with the tails.

The first image is SOOC and the second is the edit. The reason for the lighter area is to bring the eyes to that location. Its all about personal taste.

On the second the face also has more depth. The first looks somewhat flat in comparison.

I have a question about the Cells II C and compatibility with EOS 1D3 - I seem unable to get the camera to trigger the flash heads which are connected either with another Cells II C or a FT-16.
The 1D3 detects that there is some strobe connected and is then Auto set for Manual flash HSS 1/128th power Auto zoom. It is also possible to have the Cells II C to remotely release the shutter of the 1D3 via a cable connected.

The Cells II fires the strobes when connected to a EOS 700D and the shutter released even up to 1/4000.

Using the FT-16 on the 1D3 functions as expected.

FW on the 1D3 is 1.3.2 I am uncertain what FW is on the Cells II C

Edit:

Would be that the C version is not compatible with the 1D3 and maybe that the original Cells II model maybe ?

Do the FT-16 work with the 1D3?

Just a quick test.
43" silver backed umbrella, shot bare bulb with the light about 8-10 inch from the brolly.
Camera is positioned just next to the it. Shot at about 1/8 power.

Yes the FT-16 is ok on the 1D3 and fires the AD360 units with no issues. It is when the Cells II C trigger is in the hot shoe that the AD360 are not triggered when the shutter is released...

Swap the cells ii between the camera and flash?

YN-622c in hot shoe, camera then can go beyond 1/200 in FP-sync mode. Camera thinks there is an HSS capable speedlite in the hot shoe. Then plug the second YN-622c into the CL-360 with a cable from the PC port on the YN-622c to the mini-jack on the CL-360.
Should fire all the way up to 1/8000 without shutter curtain shadow.
If you want less then full power CL-360 has to be switched into H mode via the two buttons on the back.

Remember when using this technique that the CL-360 is a "constant" light source and that shutter speed influences exposure along with F stop, and ISO. Naturally, power setting and distance of light from subject are also ways to control light on subject.

Does the Cells IIc fire the AD360 via the test button?
Make sure the selector switches are set to transmit and camera.
Does the camera indicate that an HSS capable speedlite is in the hot shoe?

I've also noticed, that when changing a camera setting it takes a half press on the shutter button to tell the camera to send the new info to the "speedlite" without doing this the first shot will be black because the camera thinks it has to update the speedlite with setting before it can send the FP-sync fire signal.
