Low/High Key Printing ...

[Nicholas Lindan]

I want to "simulate" high/low key situation, what should I do? How can I print it to get it (simulate) as a high key print?

Use Photoshop.

Ok, thank you very much to everybody.

I thought it was just a print decission: you've got a negative and then you decide how to print it, as you decide the contrast, the shadows, the lights, ...

So, if I've got a negative (say normal negative, normal contrast, correct expossure, ...) and I want to "simulate" high/low key situation, what should I do? How can I print it to get it (simulate) as a hight key print?

Thanks again,

Burn and dodge, a lot.

If you can reshoot you may (will probably) be better off.

One thing you might try is essentially adding a vignette. http://www.flickr.com/photos/belalan...n/photostream/
