I have to ask, did you shoot the screen shots separately and Photoshop them into the screen mask? If not, you achieved what few of us have, getting the lighting and exposure perfect for both the cabinet and the screen. Very nice!

Congrats and good luck with the cabinet.

Photoshop was not used to insert the image into the screen mask. I did freeze the image on screen to try and reduce any motion blur, and then there was a great deal of trial and error using different manual settings on the camera to optimize the exposure. I don't know if I could duplicate the process again if I wanted to....I tried many different combinations of room lighting, screen brightness, and camera settings. Bob
