Hi!

I tried using an umbrella but it didn't work, little guy was trying to knock it over, so I just used on camera flash (SB-600). My thing is, some of them look too yellow. I tried softening the yellows but then the skin color looks weird? I am using CS4. I am also going to post some question in the technique forum to see what tips I can get on PP for burning the background. I keep burning the wheels on the little train, to name one! :(. Please let me know what you think about the lighting.
I think I am going to tell my customers that my black backdrop got chewed up by my dog, so I can use the white one. My customers seem to just lean toward the black!

anyway, here they are :)

    I don't think they're too yellow. Looking at the colors, yellow is just above magenta. There is a smugmug info page on skin tone: http://www.smugmug.com/help/skin-tone that might be helpful.

    I agree, lose the black background. I'll back you up. You called, just devastated that the dog (what's his name?) ate it.

    They don't seem yellow, so much as green. Add a touch of magenta, in color balance, to numbers 1, 3 and 4. Number 2 seems okay, but it's a little too light to know for certain. thumb.gif
