Now I think you want to do some virtual re-positioning of your strobes,
then you need to neutralize the shot first. Go to Select → Color Range,
and set Select option to “Highlights.” Copy the selection content to a
new layer by hitting Control/Command + J. Activate the background layer
again, and select the “Shadows” this time. Bring those to their own
layer, too, with Control/Command + J, and then set the blending mode to
“Screen” and the highlights to “Multiply.”
Highlights and shadows must kept in mind
Reduce the opacity to about 30%, depending on the image content.
“Shadows/Highlights” might also help. On a new layer, filled with a
neutral gray and its blending mode set to “Overlay,” paint in the
desired light quality with the Dodge and Burn tools. Alternatively, add a
new layer and set its blending mode to “Soft Light” or “Overlay” and,
with a low opacity brush, paint black and white on this layer.
The lights were neutralized a bit.
