Various techniques that employ the advanced use of Photoshop Layers<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Multiple lighting in post-production<\/strong>Shooting a subject with several light sources and then switching each of them on and off independently, plus regulating the intensity of the light source. All this is not done while taking the picture, but in post-production with Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"
Example of multiple lighting in post-production. Three pictures were taken, one for each light source employed. In Photoshop the three images are fused into a single image. The three lights can be switched on and off independently, and the intensity of every single light can be regulated as desired. Here it is shown in one of the many possible combinations (light A at 100% intensity, light B at 60% intensity and light C at 40% intensity).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n
