A question for gjacob -
Above you said, "I use 2 24X36 softboxes polorized, "
May I ask if the filter covers the front of the softbox or do you place the polarizing filter inside to cover the light? Thanks for the suggestion and especially for providing the link.

Outside between the fabric and the grid. I use velcro to hold them on.

Thanks Gregg, I did not realize that you used a gird as well. I am sure the grid and velcro keep the polarizer film in place. thanks again for sharing your process.

The first shot is awful and flat, the final shot is where it's at.
Honestly speaking 99% of my clients would take the first shot and be happy. Truthfully 99% of my clients only pay me enough to warrant going as far as the first shot (of course with me knocking out the background in PS to be white).
Though honestly, if you can't see the difference between the first and the final shot, you really shouldn't be in this line of work. And if you don't think given the option the consumer wouldn't respond to the final image better, then you're also wrong. The final image has so much more life and depth to it.. It's unmistakably better. Thanks for the quick lesson I'm sure quite a few people on here looking to better there product photography will benefit.
