Title:
Analyzing a Digital Image in a Way that is Useful to a
Student of Art.
Abstract:
When traditional artists are painting they will often
look at their work in a dark room (or sometimes by
candle light). This filters out most of detail
information (which our eyes don't perceive well in the
dark) and also removes the color from an image. The
artist is then free to asses the paintings
all-important tonal structure as well as it's large
masses.
There are many such tricks in the artist's lexicon and
they all serve to provide valuable feedback to the many
complex structures that underpin a manufactured image.
This feedback is especially useful to the student who
is needful of an impartial reflection upon their
progress.
What are the equivalents to such tricks in digital
practice? What unique visual feedback do they offer and
how can it be used?
