Thank you, Nik....
Oh if white were only white and my office wall were not blue.
I did a photo shoot several months ago of reading eyeglasses (100 pair!) and my client was very happy with them. He had someone else change the tone to white where needed and I think I made some edits too.
So this time, I shot much faster, but I have still not mastered enough PS or other software to get that cast out. These eye glasses will be sold on a website and the white has to be high key but not blow the color out. The good news is that I had zero reflection so I laid them properly in the tent. I also hand held the camera so I could center the main focus on the bridge of each pair.
I used a shooting tent, some hot lights (a Photoflex kit), my 24-70 - mostly at 50mm some at 70; I did white balance on Kelvin 5500 and I shot RAW and Jpg. I attempted some editing but our local PS guru Nik and I will be chatting shortly. He said it's very easy and he can even talk me through the edit on all 84 images at once. ...
