    Or watch these Youtube video tutorials from Jay Versluis.  They give you the basics on how each type of lighting work in Daz Studio.

    Personally, I think it depends on what lighting effect you're looking for, what story you're trying to tell or emotion and mood you're trying to convey, and so on. I don't think there's a simple set of steps for every situation. If you want realism, then you need to understand stuff like color temperatures so that your lights look correct. Sometimes environment lights are good, and other times they're pretty useless. Sometimes all you need is a single spotlight and a blurred background to focus on the subject. It's less about learning the software tool and much more about learning about how to acheive whatever effect you're looking for.
