How can I get these looks? Actions or presets?
Just a heads up to anyone one at work, the last photo is implied, so view at your own risk. I am bored and wanting to learn a few things or see how to do these color washes and effects. Anyone know how to do it or know of any good tutorial sites? Thanks for the help and advice.

Most of the images you linked to are just curves adjustments that you could recorded as actions. (EDIT: I would advise you to ignore subsequent advice to play with saturation levels in various channels. This isn't about saturation. It's cross-processing.) https://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thre … st15855107 Apr 19 13 02:25 pm Link Ask Manuel  Apr 19 13 02:37 pm Link look into gradient maps - think about a bluer/cooler background and a more yellow/brown/warmer subject Apr 19 13 03:12 pm Link CE Photog wrote: 1.

You'll probably learn more if you narrow the question down to one of each -- one image of yours and one of the targets. Apr 20 13 01:52 pm Link |
