A mistake I notice I make a lot with my photography is my work is constantly oscillating between too birght and too dark as I change how I'm editing it.

Today with a set I got the balance just right and I need to save these images somewhere as a reference to tell future me: just make it look like these ones.

@hexlatex Do you have notes of the settings, lighting, lighting setting, and such you used on this shoot? Might be a good way to document and reproduce in later shoots.
@shinypet so I keep my settings as presets, but they can all be wrong if I then change the camera iso/exposure on the day, which I often do depending on what I'm taking that day!
@hexlatex I meant your camera and lighting settings. Use those as reference before the first picture taken to see if they are close to your reference.
