This tutorial is to help you learn how to change the emotion of a
night photo by simply applying a photo filter that changes the
general color of the lights. This is a pretty simple technique
that many professional photographers use, and nobody guesses that
the original photograph looked different. Ok, once you have your picture open in photoshop:
1. To add the filter, go to
Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter.
2. To Use a Magenta
tint as I did above, Change the Filter to Magenta and increase the
Density to somewhere around 51. Also make that the
checkbox that says Preserve Luminosity is checked.
3. Another good
filter to use for a night photo (instead of Magenta) is a Blue Photo
Filter. For the example on the left I used the Blue color with
a density of 60.
4.
And one more good filter for night photos is the Yellow Photo
Filter. For the Example on the left I used the Yellow color
with a density of 61.
Of course I'm sure that there are other color filters that can enhance
night photos like the filters demonstrated, just experiment for
yourself with this technique and you may find another one that you
like even better. For different photos, the process and amount
of adjustment won't be exactly the same. |
