I wasn’t sure where to ask this question so hopefully it fit in here ok. I have a newborn shoot coming up tomorrow and in my client information I ask for no thin striped clothing to be worn. The client has sent me through this photo asking if the jumpsuit lines will cause issues. I’m not so worried about the blues lines but the material pattern has me worried. Is there any way to predict moire problems?

Thanks for your help. Do you have a class that covers the channel mixer?

As always you were correct. I triple checked them and still has them wrong. Better?

This is my first attempt. I have a few questions as this is the first time I've ever used a channel mixer layer. The area where the moire was now has a slight yellowing to it since the channel mixer layer was applied (and masked). Is this normal? Which one of your classes would teach me about using the channel mixer?

Here they are.

This is with the levels work complete. Yes the sweat patch was going to be my next question.

I have never come across this in one of my photos before. Is the "tiger print" pattern on this lady's chest moire? And if so how does one go about improving/removing it?

Something like this?

I'm wondering how I can reduce the speedlight reflection in the top right hand corner of the photo.

Ahh, so that the sheet is moving further away from the lighting each time and more likely to change due to influence from other lighting sources bleeding in? Yes, old lights are very close to true colour, new lights are not. This might sound like a silly question but if I know that a light is negatively influencing the WB by 1200/-3 can I do some simple maths and compensate for it in post?

New strobe results 6450/-6, 6400/-6, 6400/-7, 6450/-6, and 6400/-6. These look terrible considering how much I paid for the light.😞

Old studio strobe looks something like this from closest to furthest. 5200/-3, 5200/-4, 5200/-2, 5200/-3, and 5200/-3. Hold fire and I'll post the new light results.

I will give that a go during testing and post them 🙂

Thanks for your help on this. There is no indoor light here. These were taken with studio strobes in a completely dark studio. You literally can't see your hand in front of your face if I turn the lights off and I've used this backdrop many many times before. I've racked my brain to think what may have change as far as light leaking in or indoor light accidently left on but can't come up with anything I did differently with one exception. I got a new studio strobe. I'm wondering if the LED modelling lamp in the light is causing some weird colours. Its a professional strobe so this should be the case but I'll do some testing today.

Ok so I chose wide and got what I think are pretty good results. My prints still match my screen (as it did before the recal) and at the end when I click the comparison button between calibrated and uncalibrated there is almost zero difference. I assume when the SpyderX software shows you calibrated images vs uncalibrated images it is just comparing the new calibration with the previous one?? Anyway, I still have the same problem. The backdrop in this photo is grey. After dragging the WB sheet it turns green. Is it possibly cast from the skirt onto the WB sheet, although that doesn't seem likely. Are you seeing grey and then olive green?

Can you please advise which display technology I should be choosing for this monitor? https://www.benq.com/en-au/monitor/photographer/sw270c/specifications.html All of my previous attempts to calibrate using the SpyderX software have looked terrible so I have been using the Benq Palette master software to calibrate. Up until now this has worked fine and calibration has matched my prints nicely. But now something weird is going on. I have a grey backdrop in my studio but dragging my WB sheet in ACR turns it olive green in the photos. I recalibrated (using palette master), the screen again matches my prints and dragging the WB sheet still turns my grey backdrop olive green. So I want to try an get the calibration right with the SpyderX software. Up until now I haven't been able to find out what the display technology is. I contacted BenQ but they wouldn't tell me. They just told me I should be using palette master to calibrate.

I can't find one with the same lighting as mine so I plan to take one with the same lighting as hers in the near future.

I'm curious as to how this style is achieved. I see desaturation but I'm unsure how to get the creamy bronze look. https://www.facebook.com/tarlowphotography

All sorted. I did a firmware update on both the transmitter and receiver and the problem has resolved itself. thanks for your advice.

Oh and camera is a Canon 5DMkiii which is supported according to the manual.

I will check for a firmware update. I have a couple of Godox speedlights and they fire from the same trigger/camera no worries. If I add a Godox speedlight to the setup you saw in the video the Godox will fire but the Bowens strobe won't. It's really weird. The trigger even has a little camera icon that appears when you press the shutter to confirm that its getting signal from the hotshoe and that flashes on the screen when the shutter is fired.

Hi Brian, I am having a weird issue with my new Godox Receiver. The video below shows the problem I am having in detail. The camera being used is a Canon 5D Mkiii. I'm hoping you may be able to offer some advice. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6S3EGDh4si4aBUSWxulhkWy177PZdFo/view?usp=sharing
