Last step, I use Ulead Photo Express to reduce the saturation slightly (makes the white background of the flower whiter) and use it's light adjustment feature to brighten up the flower while the background stays evenly black. So you can see I do a little editing in 3 phases. If I get the lighting and black felt positioned right, I don't need to do any editing but I need a bright day to accomplish this and I have not seen the sun locally for weeks!
