Hey, all.

I plan to take a specific picture in the near future, and am looking for suggestions on getting the effect that I want.

Picture a subject holding a candle – the picture has been stripped of color information, but I would like the illusion of the candle casting a ‘natural’ light color onto the subject. So the edges would be all grey, and as you get closer to the candle, the ‘yellow’ tinge to the lighting would get stronger.

I know how I could do this with the addition of some steps in Lightwave, but for Photoshop alone, I’m just not sure. Any wisdom would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

BD.
