scooter0071 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I have seen many pictures where the skin tone is all white almost a solid white. Here is a good example. http://www.photo.net/photo/3983750 My question is how do I take a photo of mine and get a result like the image link above.

beauh44 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Bill, While I can't disagree with Carl about the importance of lighting the shot, one can come pretty close in Photoshop with a more-or-less "regular" color shot. For example here's a "regular" color shot: http://www.photo.net/photo/4464160 Then one taken a moment later that I made into a high-key B&W: http://www.photo.net/photo/4473295 The lighting is identical and they were taken moments apart. While I can't recall the *exact* steps I did in PS, I probably used the good ol' "Russel Brown B&W" (google that) technique to arrive at a B&W image, then used the "Screen" blending mode in PS to make things very bright and high key. You might also try googling "Photoshop high key" and see what you get. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
