This tutorial introduces the color correction method for warm-toned photo effects. When coloring, you can adjust the background and characters separately for quick color adjustment. This way you don’t have to worry about affecting the character when coloring.

1. Open the original image material and create a color balance adjustment layer. The parameter settings are as shown in Figure 1, and the effect is as shown in Figure 2. The character part will be distorted when adjusting, but don't worry, it will be repaired later.
