No, you nailed what I poorly stated. I just want to be able to better match the photograph I see on my monitor to what I saw in the studio. Sometimes I think that I can take photos one day and they have certain qualities about the. The a week later, I do basically the same photo shoot and get slightly different results. I wonder if the dark background affects the complection of my subject more than a white background.
I am probably not being very clear. Last week I took some photos. One is my grandson in front of a softbox. I think it came out pretty sharp. But the photo I took with the darker background came out with poor quality. Maybe because I took a full length shot and then blew the photo up and cropped it? Or maybe I just don't know what the hell I am doing with all the stuff I bought? Anyway, here are the two photos...
