The effect of this tutorial is somewhat similar to the channel coloring effect, but the difference is that the channel coloring has fewer colors and the color layering is not strong. And the character parts are easily distorted. The color grading method in this tutorial is relatively comprehensive, and the processing requires a lot more copy than channel grading.
