Controlling the color and contrast of any image can be a snap.
The MultiDome from Photoflex offers three soft boxes in one.
By installing the included colored interior panels you can change
the contrast as well as the color of the light output by the box.
This lesson will take you through some simple examples and show how
The MultiDome can effect your images in a positive light.

Topics Covered:
- Setting the main light
- Using the gold panel inserts
- Using the circle mask
Equipment Used:
 Figure 1 |
In figure 1 we see the set up of a medium MultiDome without the interior panels installed and
the both the interior baffle and front face installed. We have also placed a Photoflex 39X72 LitePanel
over the subject, to give the soft box a double diffusion effect.
|
In figure 2 we see the results, very soft highlights and clean even light. |
 |
|
To add some warmth and help set a mood, we will add the gold interior panels to warm the output of the light (figure 3).

 Figure 2 |
This figure shows the MultiDome with the gold panels installed. The baffle and front diffusion face have been removed. |
Figure 4 shows our result. We see the color effect we want but the contrast is much too great and our shadows have blocked up. |
 |
|
To finish up the shot and fix the contrast issue, we replaced the baffle and front face on the MultiDome. We also added the circle mask to help control the shape of the highlights on the black Plexiglas. |

Figure 5 shows the MultiDome in the final configuration and placement. We have also added a 42 inch MultiDisc Kit with the white side of the White/Silver cover bouncing some fill into our final shot. |
Figure 6 is our final result. We see the warm soft feeling we wanted from the light and the contrast and shadows are under control thanks to the proper configuration of diffusion and fill. |
