Trying to photograph some jewelry. No matter what I do I can't get the pictures to look right. It's allways either too bright, too dark, or too grey and washed out. I've tried lighting it dozens of different ways.
Indirect sunlight from above
Direct sunlight from above
Direct sunlight from the side
Overhead halogen light-bulb
Ambient light only
I've also tried diffusing all of the above with cooking paper, and several different fabrics, but nothing seems to work. I've also tried everything I can think of in PS6. Any advice?
