Hey thanks again for the detailed/thorough response..  I'm doing a (comedic) personal project on "band image," and I need the photos to look as slick/commercial/overproduced as possible.  So, in this case, I'm leaning towards (a) .. (i find pro photography very interesting, but I may never have the stones to get a substantial handle on it myself..)  ..I wanted to try and work with this photo because the compositional layout aesthetic works well with my other photos..

..Yes, since I didn't know what I was in for, you're probably right that redesigning the foundational lighting in post is far removed from my (current) abilities..  And thnx for the plugins suggestions, I will check them out..

 Ok, I guess, for my current means, I could phrase this one final way:

 If Michael Bay right now knocked on your door, handed you this photo (below) and said, "Mr. Mann, you have 20 minutes to produce this photo to my liking.  You can only use Photoshop, and no outside plugins.  If you blow my mind, you've got yourself a starring role in Transformers 53, including some scandalous scenes with Megan Fox.  Your time begins.. NOW!"  What do you do!?
