This tutorial is to help you learn how to create any kind of tone
for your photo that you want. With this technique you can make
all sorts of unique tones that many graphic artists use to create
fascinating scenes. This tutorial will involve desaturation
and color balance. Ok, once you have your picture open in photoshop:
1. Convert your
photo to black and white by Desaturating it.
(Image>Adjustments>Desaturate)
2. Create a New Color Balance
Adjustment Layer (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Color Balance)
3. For the Blue tone
as shown above I adjusted the colors to the following:
Red: +14
Green: +14
Blue: +60
4. Another
Possibility could be a unique greenish tint as shown on the left.
For the greenish tint I adjusted the colors to the following:
Cyan: -39
Green: +23
Yellow: -25
For
different photos, the process and amount of adjustment won't be
exactly the same. But with this technique the possible tints
are endless. See if you can come up with a unique tint to
market with all your photos. |
