things as camera settings, lenses, f-stop, ISO, and white balance;
this is where the light calculations take place. The third is a view

You can customize pretty much everything while creating a light-
ing setup: e.g., the wall color, background, floor texture, model
hair color, pose, nail color, and clothing. What’s mind-blowing
about set.a.light 3D is that you can visualize in advance all the light
and camera settings, without having to move a muscle. I find this
extremely valuable when it comes to planning and sharing lighting
setups with crew members/light assistants. It’s also a great way to
learn, experiment, and teach photography and lighting.
After you finish creating a lighting setup, you can render it and
save it as a JPEG. You can adjust the studio view, view dimensions
between elements, add your logo, and pick different templates
before you export it either as a JPEG or as a PDF.
There are two versions of set.a.light 3D, Basic and Studio, and
you can download a 15-day trial of the Basic software for free.
(I’d give this software a six-star review, if that were possible!) nGilmar Smith> KELBY ONE.COM
