Key impressioning? How does it work?

Hello peoples, I don't really know a ton about key impressioning, and I don't really understand how it works, if it is allowed, could someone explain it. Thanks

Scroll down to manipulation-based impressioning.

Does that help?

Not to be too much of a jerk, but now would be an excellent time for you to read the FAQ forum (viewforum.php?f=2), especially the list of tutorials (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10715) wherein you will find an FAQ all about impressioning (viewtopic.php?t=1396)

I read through every post in that thread on impressioning. It's an excellent resource - I've done it a few times and still I know I learned a bunch - more than one way to skin the proverbial cat, and my way didn't yield the best cat-pelt. :)
