The light here was quite critical (we were in a fair) and it wasn't easy to take good shots. We managed to get some interesting results, but in no way they can compete for clarity, sharpness, level of noise, details etc. with pictures taken in studio with good lights (it might have been more evident on hi-resolution). This preset used on Raw shots can help in making tonal distribution more captivating with evocative colours, but it doesn't compensate to the absence of light (no preset is a magic wand). If you want control on how the light is distributed, you really need to control light during the shooting. In post-production you can enhance the shot and control the colours: the better is the starting point the better would be for post-production possibilities. I hope that I was helpful. Hi Khuram,

It seems that the original pictures you have taken do not have any extensive flash work? or am i incorrect in thinking this? Any response would be most appreciated Thank you for your time. Hello Mr Gantico,

With this cross processing method, is it correct that a good lighting setup is not required? i.e strobes, diffusers etc?

It seems that the original pictures you have taken do not have any extensive flash work? or am i incorrect in thinking this?

Any response would be most appreciated

Thank you for your time.

Sorry for any inconvenience, I've been updating a little my blog architecture in order to allow a better development in the future for a coexistent English and Italian version.
