Creating High Key Images

[Snustad]

this is not HK, It's just an overexposed badly contrasted image

[riberg]

@Snustad Really?  What, then, is HK?

If you don;t like it, don;t watch it .it's that simple

[riberg]

@f8anton Ya - that's what I say ...

Looks more like a washed out B&W image. Not high key.

[riberg]

@badandy962003 Each to their own, badandy.

I've NEVER heard of the term High Key Image, I've worked as a Graphic Designer/Photographor for over twenty years. Basically this tutorial shows you how to select the luminosity values and render the image as a fake "illustration".

[riberg]

I'm surprised you've never heard of High Key Images. My DSLR even has a High Key Setting.

The point of the tutorial is to show folks how to use a pressure sensitive pen and tablet with the dodge and burn tools.

@LordArsehat are you kidding me?!

[Garreth22]

You're missing the point GotemCZ, the important thing here is the "technique" teached. That's what's important.

Like it, use it.

Dont like it, then dont use it.

[GotemCZ]

it looks unnaturally

[riberg]

Exactly - that is how it is supposed to look.

Some like and some don't ...

can you do one changing a black and white photo to color?

[riberg]

Now that is a tad more difficult! If there is no color then you are colorizing a black and white image, right?

You can do it with multiple Hue and Saturation layers - check my site for information on color change and adding color

Thanks for sharing but image has no contrast and looks muggy. Try using calculations.

[riberg]

I understand what you are saying and I would agree.

The focus of the site is using a pen tablet and this is a good technique for them.

Thanks for the suggestions and I may just give it a try ...

Rich

[LordArsehat]

@danielmurray04 Totally agree, he doesn't even use levels. Seriously I don't mean to get shitty but it's not a technique at all at least not one that I use in my work I have no need for it. If I wanted a washed out image I would use a combination of levels, hue-saturation and the dodge and burn tools for starters!

[riberg]

You're right - I didn't use Levels and I didn't use Advanced Blending however I did use Curves. The point is to show how to use a pressure sensitive pen and tablet with the Dodge and Burn Tools.

Sorry the method does not please you ....
