Thanks for sharing!

I was quite impressed by the accuracy of color calibration in Phocus, repeated self with DPReview test image and got similar results.

Best regards
Erik

i have been trying a clam shell arrangement. The lights point at each other and not the art. It just sort of lights in front of it.
I put reflectors above and below too.
One issue issue is getting the colour the same from each light. I have been testing them and they can vary several hundred K.
It seems to work OK.
I do a Scene Calibration in Phocus to even it out.
I was going to explain that in the video but it was too long and really didn't add anything for an artist.

At minute mark 2:50, Bob says "There would normally be a different lighting arrangement, but you wouldn't be able to see what was going on".
