There would be no way to tell if the white balance issues are dealt with properly. So one could take a model on a set, and shoot the shot once with flash and once with continuous lighting and if the white balance issues are dealt with, they should look identical. After all, light is light. If you use the same modifiers for both, then you should get the samr results if the WB issues are correct. This also assumes that the power can be made the same. This would usually mean dialing the strobes way down. If you don't get the power the same, then you'd have to move the continouos lights closer, which would make them a softer light source, so the photo would change.

So that makes me wonder what the Artforms examples were all about. Why is one so warm and the other not?

Cheers,
