High Key Tutorial

MrGibbage · 18th of October 2005 (Tue)

I would like to do some high key post processing. What shots seem to transfer the best? If I can set the shot up, what should I try to do? Avoid? I've googled a bit and did see a few tutorials, but they didn't seem.... good enough. I've seen such better work that I know there must be a bit more to it.
Here's a site I ran across (I hope it's ok to link to someone's gallery without any permission)

How is this done?

select monochrome

bump the red layer and fine tune the blue and green layers.

2) Create Adjustment Layer - Curves

adjust to desired result

3) Optional - Create Adjustment Layer - Contrast
