Low Key Lighting Effect
Photography is the art of painting with light.
The automated tools in Photoshop CS make routine work in the digital
darkroom quick and easy. Crafting a fine art requires control
over light. The traditional darkroom techniques of retouching
with brushes has its equivalent in the digital darkroom, too.
Even if you have little or no skill for drawing and painting,
this Learning Gallery will show you how to selectively add, remove,
and refine subtle highlights and shadows for a digital low key
lighting effect.

Making a Digital B&W
Fine Art Image
Photoshop offers lots of flexibility when converting
from color to B&W. The quick and easy way is to flatten the
color image and then apply Image|Mode|Grayscale. One of my preferred
methods for B&W conversion employs a Selective Color adjustment
layer paired with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. The first is
used to mix the color information in a controlled way to emphasize
desired tonal relationships. The second desaturates the image, leaving
you with a B&W image that has all three RGB channels intact.
