RE: Back lighting - 7/23/2007 3:28:53 AM    Big John   Posts: 5 Joined: 7/17/2007 Status: offline Hi I stood the bottles on a white board on a table top then placed another white board on a chair about 12 inches behind, I placed a small flourescent tube on the chair seat, angled upwards towards the back board and with a bit of trial and error got the lighting needed to highlight the embossing.
