Backgrounds first. Studio Object lifts a white sweep to clean paper and stops the speculars short of clipping; True Colour is the neutral member for colour approval and Clean Sweep is the cut-out. Studio Black crushes the set toward black and holds the product edge bright enough to separate, with Low Backdrop for jewellery that fine contrast destroys.
Glass and stone. Clear Glass keeps the body transparent, edge masking high and clarity low, so a rim does not halo. Cut Gemstone protects the sparkle with a small sharpening radius and holds the blacks so the pavilion keeps its return light.
Metals are worked band by band, never with a global warm shift. Gold Metal lifts the yellow band alone so gilt reads as metal rather than plastic. Silver Chrome pulls the room's cast out of the blue and orange bands so steel stays neutral.
Soft materials close the sheet. Matte Leather keeps the hide deep, recovers the hardware and holds the stitch line. Pale Ceramic takes the blue cast out of white clay in band and keeps one white separate from the next. Samples from each row are below, on the same frames.
