This is great, thanks for making this available. I would like to second the scaling suggestion, where you can scale all the object seperately. Especially when I add notes I feel like I’m running out of space! I like to add notes to the lights, e.g. Key light f/8, or Fill light f/5.6 etc.

Great stuff!

Great tool! I just used it for the first time to show someone how to lite something, but I needed a couple things that were not available:

The Sun! I just used the octabox and called it the sun, but a sun would be great!

Also, a window would be good for talking about window light portraits.

Thank you,
Tim

Ivan, thanks for the detailed suggestions.

In response to each suggestion:
Longer paper background: [my response] very doable – I’ll put this on the list for the next version.

Additional soft/octabox sizes: [my response] also very doable – I’ll put this on the list for the next version.

Scaling issues: [my response] I definately see where you are coming from. When creating the sizes, I tried to keep scale in mind as much as possible. You’ll notice that many of the items are proportional to each other (the paper and soft boxes, for example). Some of the smaller items, though (like the speedlite and strobe head), I had to make a little larger than is truly proportional. Doing so makes them easier to see and ultimately more usable. One potential feature for a future version might be to allow the user to scale each placed item up/down as much as desired.

Thanks again,
Brian

A great tool and fast & easy as well. Can I suggest some enhancements ?

Photo Diagrams would be even better if everything would be at more or less the same scale.

What I mean is, if your grid is 1 foot (30 cm) the paper background should be 9 cells wide (9 feet is standard paper width). Also assuming that 1 foot grid, the strobes are huge and should roughly be only 1/2 to 2/3 the size they’re now.

It would be fantastic to have :
- A paper background with a longer sweep.
- Scaled octas (3, 4, 5 and 7 feet) and softboxes

Looks very nice. I’m going to give it a try.

This is great. I’m at work, but all I want to do is create lighting diagrams.
This is an idea generator. I just move stuff around and rotate it and get ideas for my next shoots.
In the near or far future it would be nice if you could “turn the lights on” and show the path of the lights with a nice gradient for the fall-off. But it’s great as it is now.
Well done.
