Sideshow: Poison Ivy Deadly Nature (2023)

Very nice. Congrats! Also wanted to mention the nice styrofoam inserts in the box that keeps all the corners in place when putting the box back in the shipper box. Nice change, wonder when that started?

Killer portrait, Looks like the proto for sure. Still seeing Cameron Diaz.

Thanks for the pics. What's your lighting color temp setup again? Must be close to Sideshow's cause all your stuff looks like their studio shots.

I don't disagree on Diaz, actually.

Thanks! Yeah, it's a process LOL. So today I had the light softbox on, which is 5500K

Also ambient room lights on which are super warm, likely 2500K and ambient window light (cloudy day) so pretty grey/blue. PLus I have a giant aquarium with very blue lights.

Anyway, to adjust for ALL that, I use the pro setting on my phone (I used my Galaxy S10+ today). First I manually set the WB. Depending on all the lights happening in the room I mentioned, I usually drift between 5100 and 5300K. I use the beige backdrop as my guide.

Exposure I set based on how light/bright the statue is. I used -0.3 on Ivy. Additional adjustments are:

Contrast +1, highlights -1, and saturation -2.

This gives the closest of what my eye sees to what the image looks like.

They?re among one of the last to finally use them.

Though I don?t think Prime 1 has started using them yet?

Yeah, it's just odd that they chose to use them the long way on the box.

It's actually more helpful with the straps being vertical. You can use the straps as handles when pulling the styrofoam out of the art box. And the grooves for the straps act as airholes when pulling the styrofoam out of the art box. Airholes eliminates vacuum at the bottom of the box.
