We must deliver a full-colour hero composite to the client Monday, but the hero shot was lit flat in the studio while the campaign backgrounds are directional and moody.

Tell me, bluntly, whether it's salvageable without a reshoot, which single aspect to prioritise first, and one conservative blending move that keeps the photo believable in a quick presentation comp.
