VALUE
Range of lightness and darkness within an image
In order for any element of design to be seen there must be value contrast. When we make an
element darker we are shading and when we are making it lighter we are tinting.
A successful photo uses the full range of values. Artists check
this by using a value scale. A value scale is a tool that shows the gradual
change from the lightest value or white to its darkest value of
black.
In the following assignment I used Adobe Photoshop to edit the
contrast and value of each one of my images to create a full range value scale.
