Tab and Source Category – Low and Highlights

Highlights

In simplifying your original image, ArtMaster/ArtMasterPro strips the small-scale light and dark detail out. But under the Highlights Tab, you will find 10 Sources in 2 Blocks of 5 Sources where the light details have been preserved.

• Block 1 consists of 5 Sources that find white areas at increasing scales.

• Block 2 also consists of 5 Sources that find a second set of white areas at increasing scales.

Note: To apply these Sources to a Canvas you will need to have the Blend Mixer setting in the Pure White Mode.

Note: The Highlights Sources have been colour tinted blue so you can add in cold light. To turn a Source to monochrome, simply de-saturate it by clicking, holding and dragging the H/S downwards – the read-out at the top should say 50,0.

To make the light a warm colour, click, hold and drag the slider towards the top left hand corner of the H/S Mixer.

Highlights Warped

Highlights Warped consists of 2 Blocks of 10 Sources that have been derived from all 10 Sources in Highlights, but have had geometric distortions applied to them.

Highlights Colour

In the same way that the Highlights and Lowlights Tabs store small-scale white and dark areas of your original image, the Highlights Colour Tab holds 20 Sources that are just the coloured pixels. The Sources are laid out in four blocks of five, with the first one in each block (i.e. 1, 6, 11, and 16) being based on the colours from the original and the others being saturated colours. Sources 3, 8, 13 and 18 use flecks of complimentary colours to add a vibrant look, and Sources 5, 10, 15 and 20 have been distorted slightly.

Note: To apply just the colour from the Highlights Colour Sources to a Canvas, i.e. leaving out any greyscale pixels, you will need to have the Blend Mixer set right at the top in Pure Colour Mode with the first number in the Blend Mixer’s read-out saying”x,100" – where “x” is the Blend Amount.

Highlights Colour Rippled

The Highlights Colour Rippled Sources are derived from the Highlights Colour Sources, but have had increasingly stronger geometric distortions applied to them.
