Tutorial - Detailed Workflow for "Low Key - Chateau" (Page 2): I love your "Low Key" images. If you don't mind me saying, they blow the doors off the " sketched" ones. Very, very nice!!

Thanks rshaw. I agree that the Low Key images look much more refined than the Sketch Series ...... I still believe there is a place for both of them.

You're welcome dpullum. I hope to do a few more tutorials over the next year, so stay tuned.

Definitely a place for both. I just prefer the overall look and the creativity of your Low Key images. Keep up the excellent work. Ron Shaw

Thanks Don. I really hope someone will use the "recipe" and see if they come up with similar results.

I'm working on Edie's project in the PP forum right now, and am putting this to practice even as we speak.

How very gracious of you to share your process. It is the mark of a man who knows who he is and is confident that while others might use the same process his pictures will be recognized as his creation. By sharing you will likely have given others the confidence to share their processes. One more candle has been lit to remove the darkness of ignorance.
Thank you

Thanks David. Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to another's presentation using this style. I certainly don't think of it as proprietary stuff. If I can shave a few weeks off the learning curve for someone wishing to start a Low Key project I'll feel that my time was well spent creating the tutorial.

Very interesting, detailed and informative!!! I didn't realize all the steps you had to perform to produce the final image. I now see which programs I'll need to begin my photo projects. And now it begins........

Thanks Low Lids. Nearly every photo I process, in whatever art form I choose, uses at least 4 separate filters by 4 different companies, and some of them are used more than once. Quick, universal changes are not for me ..... I want to tweak things down to a minute level. It's time consuming, but the result is well worth all the work.

Wow This is a wonderful tutorial. I can't wait to revisit it at home and try it out. I have the perfect image I want to try. I have been cutting out the distraction little by little when I feel some energy to do so. With this method I might just have something more interesting to show after it's all done. You have succeeded in turning a good photograph of a nice house into a piece of art.

Thanks Biker Chic. No doubt, the house was beautiful to begin with ...... but Low Key processing distills all that beauty into a dramatic image. I like it.
