David  PS. I know, the cars weren't washed, I was more interested in experimenting with the lighting  PPS. Here is another shot from the same session. I think I had one flash on the camera, one to the left of the camera about head-height, and one on the right about 3 metres up (you can just see the reflections underneath the left headlight).

I used a 10 second exposure at f/10 and ISO 100. I then used my 430EX II at 1/2 power and 35mm zoom, and bounced it 4 times off the grey ceiling fabric, one pop on either side of the passenger and driver's headrests. Post processing included: - Removing dust spots caused by dust on the lens filter which were illuminated by the nearby flashgun - Removing scuffs and marks from the upholstery - Darkening / blacking out the side windows (but just leaving a hint of the wing-mirrors) - Darkening / blacking out the rear-view mirror Feedback much appreciated as always! Many thanks, David David Hogg LRPS

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | Jan 28, 2014 11:52 | #3206 Hogster86 wrote in post #16636008 Do you start off with all but one of the layers completely masked off (masks entirely black), and then add in the lighted areas you want by painting onto the respective masks in white / grey? What blending mode do you use for all the different layers? That's the way that I would do it, in Normal Mode. Then I would cycle through some blending modes to see if there was an improvement. Shift + Alt + +/- FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

Use layer blending mode as "lighten", you should have good results with it. After use masks to remove unnecessary items
