Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

have you experimented with lighting
more light from the sides and less straight on will cause highlights and shadows
the reason portrait/beauty lighting is more head on is to fill in the "character" in the skin and smooth everything over
not highly engraved - but the first is done from a bit of an angle- the second - light and camera from the front

If you'd like to use what professional engravers use, you'll use Grobet USA's Background Antique and Aul-Solvent. It's simple and easy to use and it'll get you professional results. Simply brush on the Background Antique with a small artist's brush, let dry for 6 minutes. Then highlight bright areas by wiping gently with a lint-free cloth and Aul-Solvent. The pics below show the results and the product. Here's one place where the product is available: https://www.esslinger.com/black-back...BoCGh4QAvD_BwE
