Shot RAW in my basement. Guitar was lying on a table that was draped with a piece of black felt pinned to the wall. The lighting was a single 100 watt bare bulb and I held an umbrella over it to kill the shadows.
Adjusted a few things in RAW and converted to PS
Crop
Resize
Levels (black point)
Photo Filter (Cooling 82 - 25%)
Noise Ninja
USM (100, .3, 0)
Slight bump in curves
Slight cyan color balance
Stroke matching the color of the brand name
Adjust master saturation +25
Rotate 180 degree
Save for Web
It looks good on my calibrated monitor, but I've looked at it on a couple LCDs and you can see the background and a shadow. I hope most voters have calibrated CRTs!
