I bought one of these softbox/illuminated backgrounds a few years ago. Absolutely amazing but as one of the other reviewers mentioned, after a few short month the white translucent front starts to turn a yellowish/red and become a pain for post edit. Is there anything I can clean the front translucent front material with to get it back to white??
Asked by: Kenyon
I have the same problem and it's preventing me from buying another one. Currently investigating alternative ways to create a white background for executive photography.
