Transforming Lightbox

Step 6Making a "Ramp"

Making a "Ramp"
One of the important parts of the lightbox is the ramp. This helps hide shadows and helps keep your eyes focused on the details of the subject.
I made my ramp by cutting one of the Ghostline Poster Boards. One reason I chose Ghostline is because (you can't see it here, sorry) it features a light gray 1/2-inch grid. That makes cutting it a lot easier.
This ramp took a while to get right. Cutting the width was easy, but I had to work on it to figure out the length.
