My article on using Photoshop to increase the power of your strobes (sorta / kinda) is now up. This image by Frank Tuttle pretty well sums up how well it works.
ProPhotoResource.com - Increasing Strobe Power with Photoshop:
"Frank made sure that the light in no way overlapped the area that would beretained in the finished work, and made his shots. Every three or four shots I would move out of the frame and he would shoot a frame without the lightin it. The reason we did that with such frequency is that the clouds are moving behind her. If we had made a couple of dozen images without making our non-lightshot, the clouds would have changed too much to match. Keep it quick, and make sure you keep your wits about you... There are issues beyond the shoot thatare very important.
Shadows, clouds, vehicles in the background, light angle, camera angles...all must be diligently thought through as you shoot the photo. You cannot change the camera angle without making the non-light shot that would correspond. After you have processed the images, it is quite simple to select the non-light area and slide it over the lighted shot. If you hold the shift key down, the image should slide right into place."

Really like this technique. It's so simple and straight forward :-)
