otho96 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Hello all again I have been trying some patterns again and i have came across a few photos that when i follow the videos they come out almost black. I have used Gimp and PS3 I have done it the threshold way and the photocopy way. but when it comes down to final step it is like where all the white should be turns black and when you move the lvls it just make the black worse. Not sure if some photos cant but done or if it is just me Quote
Travis Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 I'm not sure if you're going through the Village University tutorials or not, so I'm not sure what process you're doing. You'll want a nice balance of lights and darks. I'll desaturate a photo. Then using S Curves, I'll give it a nice balance of dark shadows and highlights. Then from there, you can do the threshold or photocopy. Adjust the levels on the threshold or photocopy until it looks nice. I usually prefer photocopy and adjust so I also have gray. Then using a paintbrush, I decide which details to include by painting them black, or which details to exclude by painting them white. Quote
