DPP: Exercise 17: Colors into Tones 1


The brief for this exercise calls for manipulating the tones of a black and white image.  The image in question should have strong contrasting colors, such as this one with red and green.  A b&w control was then produced and copies of this were manipulated to demonstrate how colors-as-tones can be exercised.    

The image here shows the Chinese character for Buddha and was taken this past winter in Leshan, China.    

The results speak for the themselves.  LR provides a set of sliders for eight colors, and pulling one up or down can make noticeable changes to an image.  Here we see how contrasting sets of 100% - 0% red-green result in near mirror images.  

These are obviously powerful tools for working with black-and-white images.  Let's see if I can deploy them in the upcoming assignment.
