“The part I needed most, positioning of light and reflector spot on. I hadn't considered "feathering" and that may have been something vital in my softbox positioning. Totally disappointed in the Lightroom segment. Adobe has progressed in massive strides but our tutor is showing an archaic version. I'll find out how photoshop holds up soon. BTW well presented but I would like a more up to date Adobe.”
