kkertz Offline Image Upload: On Registered: Apr 03, 2005 Total Posts: 546 Country: United States Re: Lighting Setup Artwork OK guys... here ya go. Thanks for your kind remarks and I hope you can get some use out of this. To use... 1) Download file LightingSetup.psd.zip (size 200k) 2) Unarchive the Zip file 3) Open the Photoshop file: LightingSetup.psd. (size 500k) 4) The file defaults with a Background, Subject and 35mm Camera. 5) To view (add) an item, open the appropriate folder and click on the item (as seen below). You click on the "eye" icon to make it visible or to hide it. 6) Move and rotate into place. 7) Save a copy of your finished setup. Don't save over original file (for future use). That's about it. Download here... http://www.kevinkertz.com/fm/LightingSetup.psd.zip Cheers. Kevin Sep 14, 2006 at 12:41 AM

It will nice for people to use when asking for help when something doesn't work right with their setup. I would lik to see some props i.e...plants, chairs stairs and anything else that most people are using for the setup. Thank you so very much for the work that you have done.

You're welcome! I created them in Adobe Illustrator. To all...Glad you like it so far...Let me know if you have any additions/corrections, I plan on updating this when needed. I think I'm gonna skip the props, that would open another can of worms. Unless there's a demand for this... Kevin Sep 14, 2006 at 03:12 AM

cavis Offline Image Upload: Off Registered: Nov 16, 2005 Total Posts: 315 Country: United States Re: Update: Lighting Setup Artwork Thanks, Kevin. Now I'm hoping to see some diagrams and images from my fellow FMers so that I can get started on shooting in my living room studio. My AB800s and misc. Alien Bees equipment arrived on Tuesday, and my Sekonic L358 arrives today, so I'm ready to get started :) Oh, and I have 4 books on order from Amazon on lighting and posing. I've been shooting action shots and sports portraits up until now, so this will be a huge help even if I just use it to log my own setups and examples. Okay, folks. Lets see you put Kevin's hard work to use! I need the help :) Sep 14, 2006 at 02:20 PM

You're welcome! I created them in Adobe Illustrator. Kevin Kevin, I hate to sound ungrateful, but is there any way we could convince you to make the Illy versions available? I'm an old ad guy, and break out in hives when I see great vector artwork rasterized. If you want to make this a commercial library, I'm ready to put some money behind that request.

TJ Asher Offline Image Upload: Off Registered: May 12, 2003 Total Posts: 4022 Country: United States Re: Update: Lighting Setup Artwork Kevin, I have a couple of suggestions that came out of trying to map out a setup from a couple weeks ago. Strip softbox - both in horizontal and vertical orientation. Overhead softbox - I often will boom a light overhead and there was no real good way to represent that. Scrim with no light - can you do just a scrim/diffusion panel with no light? I often have several around and not all with lights. I'm with Eric too. I'd love to have the Ill versions and would be willing to pay a reasonable sum to get them. Note that I know that if you do this you cannot advertise for this here on FM. That's strictly against the rules. Perhaps you could work out a deal with Fred? He get's a little percentage? Just an idea. Todd Sep 15, 2006 at 06:37 PM

DigitalShe Offline Image Upload: Off Registered: Jul 22, 2004 Total Posts: 14 Country: United States Re: Update: Lighting Setup Artwork Thank you Kevin for sharing your work! In our studio we use a strip softbox with grid and snoots I don't see in your list. This will make it easy for me to keep a set-up file in with my digital negatives for future studies while learning lighting. Can't say thanks enough... and thanks to Manny for directing me to this thread too. Cheers, She Sep 16, 2006 at 09:49 AM

KevinRiggs Offline Image Upload: Off Registered: Jun 07, 2003 Total Posts: 413 Country: United States Re: Update: Lighting Setup Artwork Kevin, This is outstanding. I love it. I went ahead and added backgrounds in multiple colors but I don't know that such a thing would be worth you adding as it was easy enough to do. Thanks a ton for this great tool.

AndyKreager Offline Image Upload: Off Registered: Jul 26, 2006 Total Posts: 20 Country: United States Re: Update: Lighting Setup Artwork The coolest single thing I ever found on the net. As someone said - You could make money from this. I am not asking you to do this - Just saying I would pay for a program if I could use it like this: Print out a clean grid or better yet just have the laptop there Do set-up and just enter text like LOB 6,6 8 45 45 f5.6and the program would put a large octabox at xy location 6,6 axis offset 45 degrees with notes that it is 8 feet high and pointing down at 45 degrees and set at f5.6 - AND do it in real time as I entered it. Better yet just have dialoge boxes Add light X Y location Axis Height etc. Finnished... All I am saying is that the possibilities are endless and if you printed out all the responses you got from this thread and showed them around you could probably get someone to throw in a little money to back you/get you started.

akreager Offline Image Upload: Off Registered: Jan 29, 2005 Total Posts: 378 Country: United States Re: Update: Lighting Setup Artwork Kevin I take my comments back. The way you did it is just like a drop down menu and they can be draged and rotated etc. Perfect the way it is. Still think you should try to figure out a way to sell it. Sep 18, 2006 at 10:33 PM
