Anyway I was doing a little testing with my canon 5D and my studio flash unit. I set the camera to take both Raw and jpeg. Usually I just shoot one or the other. So I downloaded the files using photoshop bridge to check my lighting set up. When reviewing the pics I noticed a slight colour shift between the RAW and JPEG. I assume this is because the Raw file has more information then the JPEG. Is this correct. I used my minolta light meter to meter the light and used the recommended settings of ISO 200, 125 at f11.

The idea is to place the subject relatively close to the background, put the camera on a tripod (or somehow else secure its position), take two images - one with the subject, one without it and finally blend them in your favorite image editor.
Please note that for this task you don't want to create so called "textured portrait". Instead you want some areas of the subjects being completely replaced by the background. The partial blend should only take place on the area borders, if at all.
Tips:

• take the subject shot first, then the background only
• for better final image place your subject as close to the background as possible
• to get the proper effect (i.e. for the final image to make sense) you may need to put some exta tweaking: duotone/bw, some artistic filter, etc.

Good luck dissolving! :wink ]]> Assignments Nikolai http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=175407
