This I totally agree with – every production and post scenario = I’ve been involved with that did not go well was most often due to = lack of sufficient testing. Testing is really a vastly underused = technique. For this in particular, I would test detail, white balance = (different sensors key better in tungsten vs. daylight), gamma curves = (especially knees for hair highlights) etc. until you know what settings = will key best.
