Source: Xiao Zuo Digital Author: Zuo Chun This tutorial mainly uses gradient mapping to adjust color. The author first uses gray gradient to reduce the saturation of the picture and increase the brightness. Then use gradient mapping to add the desired color to the highlights of the image. Later, you can fine-tune the color and details of the overall and dark parts.
Original picture
final effect
1. Open the material picture, create a gradient mapping adjustment layer, click the mouse on Figure 1 to select the gray gradient Figure 2, the color of Figure 3: #350708, the color of Figure 4: #888888. After confirming, change the layer blending mode to "Screen".
2. Create a gradient mapping adjustment layer again, click on Figure 1, and hover the gray gradient Figure 2. Figure 3 Color: #adfeff. After confirmation, change the layer opacity to: 24%, as shown below.
Create a Curves adjustment layer, channels: red (1 point output 141, input 128); blue (1 point output 255, input 245), (2 points output 144, input 133).
4. Create an optional color adjustment layer and select black values: cyan -25%, yellow -39.
Create a hue and saturation adjustment layer, select red and use an eyedropper to absorb the red color of the image and adjust the saturation to -6.
6. Merge layers! Use the burn tool (range: midtones, exposure 10%) to darken the surrounding over-bright areas! Then modify the character and liquefy it appropriately. Finally sharpen to complete the final effect.
