I often have some high-tech industry products with complex shapes that are very tedious to mask out using the pen tool. Therefore I use the trick with the masking technique by turning off the front flashes and using only the background light to create a silhouette of the object. But doing this for every photo snap is really annoying and sometimes I also forget it since it’s manually and then I have to redo each product. See the attached pictures that Im allowed to show. Since the D2 are very fast with continuous flashes I can imagine capturing also portraits, splashes, athletes in mid-air etc. with these technique. Capturing a clean mask for postproduction would be really an advantage for these kind of subjects too. I saw a Hensel demonstration years ago on an exhibition where athletes where jumping around and where captured with the appropriate mask and I was blown away back then. I know Profoto wants to keep things as simple as possible and this is absolutely legit but you could integrate some sort of “Advanced” menu for other users where one can activate such features if there is a need for it. Also a display preview of the current flash duration in t0.5, and t0.1 would be awesome too. Here a some youtube links that explains this feature very good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRQX0e5jULQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAvw6x6segs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5l-H0oJauw
