Turning of the lights
Always difficult to turn of the lights in the comics. When it’s all about one photo, I usually work mostly out of the camera. For the comic there are simply too many photo’s (in my opinion) to work out of camera, so the lights are mostly turned of within photoshop. I always find it hard to find the balance between too dark and too light. Still, I think I found the balance, at least for this episode. Consistency is the key-word when doing this thought, so I hope the following episodes will bring across the same atmosphere to you all. If it doesn’t, just let me know please.

I have learned to use a combination of the light setting on the camera itself and the exposure slider in the photo editor afterward. Early on, I tried to make the room dark when I was taking the photo, but it really created problems for the quality of the picture.
I agree with you on your last point! I tried all kinds of ways. This was one of them. I had the same experience with the really dark photo’s. I just lost too much pixel-information.
Nowadays I use different ways of darkening. exposure being one of them and the rest is a combination of filters, to give the darkness some “punch”.
Good enough to me. I, myself, cheat a bit as I use different effect for the background and the minifigs.
The plan is in motion… Can someone stop this bad guys!
(Typo : 2nd panel “you knowS”)
What do you mean with the different effects?
Oh, that’s not a typo btw, he just talks that ways 🙂
I treat the background and the minifigs separately. Dark background then I light the minifigs so they’re not so dark.
