Using a Lightpad

[@suejoh6185]

Thank you so much. Your video covers the process so that we can all follow it rather than skipping steps or pieces of equipment. This is exactly what I have been trying to do.

Thank you Glenys!!!! The glass sheet is to protect the lightpad for debris? Great tutorial.

[@GlenysGarnett]

Thanks Dania. Yes that, and also means you can compose your layout on it and then move it around easier. 👍

Excellent video, thank you Glenys, this is just what I’m into at the moment and your idea of a photocopy layer is brilliant! I do have a problem with the photographs taken on my LightPad in that I have a strong blue background which I have to try and get rid of with White balance in PS. Do you have suggestions please?

[@GlenysGarnett]

Thank you Heather. Yes sometimes the light can be blue or toned. As long as you are shooting in raw you can adjust the white balance afterwards or just try a different white balance setting or do a custom white balance before taking the image.

What tripod head do you use? So many to chose from!

[@GlenysGarnett]

It's a Vanguard BBH-100 on a Vanguard Tripod can't remember model

[@marilyngiannuzzi9867]

What size lens do you use?

[@GlenysGarnett]

It really depends on the subject, mostly the Fuji 18-55 but sometimes the Fuji 80mm Macro

[@ucmutt]

How do you get it back to 16 bit image ?

[@GlenysGarnett]

Just go to top menu Image/Mode/ and pick 16bit and it will upgrade the image
