[title] Making a backdrop
-[* icon_caution] ***These steps ARE NOT set in stone; it is a suggestion on how to make a white background for as cheap as possible. For example: While I used posterboard and an old box, you can use a single piece of posterboard on the work surface and a trifold board (same as the ones you used in "school") as your background. There is no right or wrong setup.***
+[* icon_caution] ***THIS STEP IS NOT SET IN STONE. It is merely a SUGGESTION and an EXAMPLE of what I rigged up. For example if you do not like my design it is possible to cut a trifold board (like you used in "public school") in half as a white background. Making a custom box IS NOT REQUIRED. As such, this is not covered in specifics.***
[* icon_reminder] ***Make sure you tape the GLOSSY SIDE and use the MATTE SIDE of your posterboard. The glossy side will reflect excess light in ways the matte side will not and cause issues by absorbing usable light so it cannot be used for your final photo.***
-[* red] ***Setup a back support for your backdrop.*** This can be anything from a dedicated trifold board you used when you were in public "school", or it can be literal garbage like an Amazon box. Due to how I chose to setup my backdrop (posterboard) it was more time efficient for me to cut up a box to size so I can put it in place with full support.
+[* red] ***Setup a back support for your backdrop.*** This can be anything from a dedicated trifold board you used when you were in public "school", or made from garbage like Amazon boxes. Due to how I chose to setup my backdrop (posterboard) making a custom softbox cut to size worked best for me.
[* orange] ***Setup a white background to hide everything in the back.*** After placing it so it will not move and there are no visible areas that are unsightly, you are ready to take pictures for your guide.
[* yellow] *** (Optional) Place your object in the space and do a test shot.*** If you are unsure if the area you chose is good, do 1-2 test shots and make sure you are happy with the end result. If you do not like it now, you did not commit a lot of time to bad photos.
