PRE|SETS
The soft patterns are filed by the light you set. Broad and short shaping, butterfly kept symmetrical, clamshell with the shadow contrast closed, the everyday loop to run across a whole sitting, the rim held off clipping. Each finishes the skin for that pattern and keeps the modelling you paid for.
The hard patterns keep their edges. Hard Fresnel leaves specular skin specular and the shadow line crisp. Rembrandt Key holds the small lit triangle on the shadow cheek. Split Light keeps the divide down the nose clean and treats the dark half as subject, not absence.
Skin has its own chapter. Dark Skin lifts deep tones without greying them, the warmth held in the orange band. Pale Skin controls redness and protects the highlights. Studio Skin trims the flush from the modelling lights. Window Seat warms an indoor portrait and leaves the contrast near flat.
Then the family. Baby Days holds a newborn's skin soft rather than washing it pastel. Cap and Gown stops the black gown going to a hole under stage light. Outdoor Group brings a porch or garden group out of the shade with the skin warm and no one sitting in the dark. School Run forgives a handheld frame of a child on the move. A few presets from each chapter are below, on the same faces.
