Take your signature image, or the strongest image in a body of work, and make many variations of it. Neutral, semi-neutral, low saturation, average saturation, high saturation, super saturation. Ideal color, ambient color, synthetic color. Etc. Compare the results side-by-side. By process of elimination choose the best solution. Then take your second strongest related image and see if the same palette is equally strong for it. If it is, you&#8217;ve found your zone for a body of work.<br \/>\nMany students are astonished at how much potential their images have. Consider John Myer&#8217;s image here. He&#8217;s torn between the fully saturated and semi-neutral versions. So he&#8217;s testing those two palettes on several other related images. With a just little more exploration, he&#8217;ll soon have his answers. Too often we commit to a solution before we explore our options. Sometimes we&#8217;re too timid with the kinds of explorations we allow ourselves. Take these steps at the beginning of every new body of work. The time you take to explore your options is well spent. It&#8217;s extremely rewarding.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find out about my Fine Digital Print Workshop series here.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/workshops\/fine_digital_print_2.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find out about The Fine Digital Print Expert workshop here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the exercises we do in my Fine Digital Print Expert workshop is to test our palettes.
