Need drastic help with bad shadows!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey MM! I did a bonehead move today in the studio. I thought I had my fill light metered correctly today when i was popping off some head shots. Once I got home and looked at these on my PC, I noticed a drastic shadow on the left jawline and under the chin. I have an Adobe Elements 7 "help" manual but can't seem to find a technique that seems to work. I'm far from the master at digital enhancement, so any help would be greatly appreciated. -Dan Aug 22 09 04:38 pm Link A picture is worth __________________. a) Whatever the market will bear. b) A second look. c) A thousand words. d) Fussing over.

Because of a flaw in MM forum PHP code, it screws up the formatting of paragraphs if there is any picture in the thread that is too wide.

The thumbnail has been removed before I could see it, but it should be noted that it not digital that is the problem. If the picture was made with electronic flash then makeup might be fluorescing to the UV component of the light from the flash. Always specify photographic makeup to avoid this issue.
