 Lights are the two Calumet 400's. The one on my left front is direct on with no modifiers. The one to my right is shoot through umbrella lowest setting.

Converted in Lightroom 2, adjust Camera Profile, light sharpen and a bit of contrast.

In Corel PSPX2:
Clarify > 5
Lucis Art
Clarify > 3
USM > High Res Normal
Perfectum > 40

Are you challenging the cat to a guitar battle?

Great setup Andy. Love the lighting used. You have a knack for these setups, they are unique in their special little way and I think it's the lighting and PP that makes it so.

That cat!! I always think your editing is just superb. Don't you love Lucis art? The composition and feel of this is so relatable to me. Probably because we have 6 guitars and a set of drums in the house. LOL Another great one.
