 * Have you tried putting a lamp behind the white background? Not only might you get some attractive rim light, but (assuming the light is bright enough) you'll get a pure white background, which is more attractive than the uneven gradients here. Of course, you could try to do that in Photoshop, too. Thegreenj 00:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I hadn't thought of that. But the onion is now gone :( Any way this could be fixed? Muhammad (talk) 11:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Put the back light farther away and make it dimmer, if possible. What I'd do would be to prop the background up on a small table in the middle of a dark room, place the back light on the ground around 2m away with a sheet of paper taped over it, and use flash the expose the front. If you have time and lots of lamps, you could try a Three-point lighting setup. Thegreenj 14:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and don't forget to use manual exposure. Thegreenj 15:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
